What are the objectively S tier female musicians in terms of discography strength? solo or in a band?
heres what I have?
PJ Harvey, Kate Bush, Bjork, Aretha Franklin, Régine Chassagne, Elizabeth Fraser, Patty Smith, Nina Simone, Joanna Newsom, Rachel Goswell, Corin Tucker, Carrie Brownstein, Janet Weiss, Kim Gordon, Joni Mitchell, Nico, D'arcy Wretzky, Bilinda Butcher, Beth Gibbons, Tina Weymouth, Fiona Apple, Georgia Hubley, Kim Deal, Isobel Campbell
Is there anyone I missed? Did I name someone you don't think should be there?
Also, as much as I love Grimes Lavren and Annie I don't think they're quite there yet, so please don't post em
>>63638777
What about "S"
The one from Carissa's Wierd
>>63638777
Ewww ewww nico. How can anyone like her? German accents make me go soft in 2 seconds
Cat Power
>>63638777
what's S tier?
>>63638777
>Also, as much as I love Grimes Lavren and Annie
how can you love Chvrches, they're so boring
>>63638777
Correct list.
Also I would add Meredith Monk, Karla Saarihao and Klara Lewis (this last one is new-young but very talented and promising).
>>63639901
Literally just mentioned Klara Lewis in another thread, about musicians who get little to no recognition. Ett was sublime, buzzing my cunt off for Too in a few weeks
>>63638777
Hope Sandoval hasn't been mentioned?
What a gross thread
>>63638777
Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab/Monade
Trish Keenan (RIP) of Broadcast
>>63640054
Hope is the cutest. She's really shy apparently.
>>63638777
I would honestly add Angel Olsen to this list. All of her records have been amazing, and she has a style of her own.

Solo Isobel Campbell is pretty average and she didn't have many B&S songwriting credits.
The Au Pairs? Electrelane? Joan Baez? she from The Sundays? Sarah Vaughan? Billie Holiday?
>>63640769
Or, like, a thousand classical performers.
>>63638777
>S tier
this is america not japan faggot
Add Vashti Bunyan
This board has bad taste in female artists in my experience
>>63640956
I thought Isobel was great with Mark Lanegan on the few records they did together, with Campbell having the majority of songwriting credits.
No mentions of Beth Gibbons?
>>63641061
She was in the op
Yanka Dyagileva
Cosey Fanni Tutti
Rose McDowall
Bobbie Watson
Polly Bradfield
>>63641078
Ah yes, my mistake.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe
>>63638777
Geneviève Castrée
nice digits op
Ô Paon is pretty good, I don't know about s tier though
leave Régine Chassagne alone
>>63638854
>How can ANYONE like her? German accents make ME go soft
>anyone =/= me
>>63639404
This.
No one ever talks about her, thought /mu/ would love her especially as she's so qt
>>63641807
dont think shes really top tier tho :/
>>63638854
The whole point of vocals isn't to get your dick hard, moron
>>63641878
You're crazy, Dear Sir, What Would the Community Think and Moon Pix are brilliant albums
how about Victoria Legrand? I like her more than Hope Sandoval
>>63641923
OP here actually, I've heard moon pix a while back, didnt blow me away really, maybe I should revisit
what do we do think about Tori Amos? totally forgot her
>no Julia Holter
smdh
>>63638777
miss laura nyro; sadly quite unknown. Her image is unparalled- i cant compare her to any other female artist- and for that i love this album
>>63642016
great artist, not S tier yet, has the potential
Arianna Savall
>>63642034
is her style similar to Janis Joplin? cuz ew
>>63642070
not at all; i wanna say joni mitchell/nico/patty smith combo but thats even a bit vague; she began in the mid 60s like those mentioned above.
>ctrl f
>no Grouper
wtf /mu/
>>63642199
OP here, I thought about putting grouper on there? you guys think she is top tier?
Also forgot about shiina Ringo and Wang Faye, what other asian powerhouses have I missed?
this
also camille and joni mitchell and kate bush and sibylle baier
I would say astrud gilberto but she just sang
Yuki Murata
>>63642575
Too dumb to post the picture
>>63642575
>Joni mitchell and kate bush
did you even fucking read my post
>>63642739
lol sorry. I would advise against drinking and posting. But the others are great contenders
Lydia Loveless
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mfk_Q-xP348
>>63638813
Yup agreed
Regina Spektor?
I like most of her shit. And I would love to watch her shit
>>63641982
Only one mention of Tori in the entire thread. I am really disappoint.
Sometimes I feel like I don't even know you guys.
grouper is best
>>63638777
>grimes and lavren
>almost s tier
kill yourself
OP here I'll make a collage by wednesday of 36 ppl, my pics plus some suggestions
>>63643020
neither is a good vocalist. lavren is really bad actually. and that is not even an opinion its just objective fact. the only reason op likes them is because hes a waifu faggot who doesn't actually know anything about music
>>63643109
yeah Lavren has objectively weak singing but I think it works in the context of their band, thats all that matters really, you can't judge singing in a vacuum
laura stevenson
Natalie Prass
ani difranco
Not sure if mentioned already but probably not, Kristin Hersh and Julee Cruise
>>63641227
She's actually one of the most consistently likable things about Arcade Fire. Her presence balances out the occasionally hilarious melodrama by being very sincerely enthusiastic about everything.
>>63641935
My waifu
Any Enya love?
Hiromi Uehara anyone?
>>63638777
the stupid faggot didn't even put Lauryn Hill in
Laura Marling? Feist? Angel Olsen?
No Gemano?
>>63639461
Fighting game term for characters so strong they don't have a single bad fight in the game.
I nominate Lauryn Hill.
>>63642034
This is one of the best albums ever made. Good call, anon
>>63644628
This
Also Tori Amos
>>63644213
This anon has his shit together
Mariko Goto
>>63640238
this
Also, Patty Waters, Stina Nordenstam, Diamanda Galas (dem multiphonics, bitch), Faye Wong.
Wendy Carlos
Debbie Harry
>>63644596
>>63644646
These.
M.I.A.
Cibo Matto
Martina Topley Bird (if we can count Maxinquaye, I know her solo stuff is shit)
has anyone posted any country artists yet, because the genre has more than it's fair share of top tier ladies
Wanda Jackson, Lorreta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline, Kitty Wells
>>63646984
>discography strength
>I know her solo stuff is shit
Dude I love Maxinquaye as well, but she doesn't have nearly the consistency to be considered anywhere near top tier
