Which female artist(s) would elicit a similar reaction to the MJ/Bowie/Prince deaths?
kate bush
definitely here at least, maybe not so much in burgerland
Madonna
>>64583131
pretty much spot on, unfortunately. I don't really get it but too many Americans are just completely unaware of Kate Bush and how incredible she is
prolly Beyonce would fit the bill. That'd be annoying as fuck to deal with on a college campus
>>64583131
>>64583163
Not on the same lebel
Joni Mitchell
Bjork
>>64583182
Oh so you just wanted to start an anti-women thread.
Madonna at least here in clapistan
probably none. Stevie Knicks maybe?
Maybe Aretha Franklin?
>>64583131
>>64583196
These.
>>64583252
She certainly would.
>>64583099
Bjork, Kate Bush and Joni Mitchell will determine the official end of music.
>>64583211
I'm not the OP and Madonna is objectively not on the same level as they
>>64583282
she died like 8 years ago mate
>>64583099
Did you intend that to be a rhetorical question?
>>64583282
YES!! I will be so crushed ;(((( qq
>>64583163
>>64583177
Madonna and Beyonce are the only right answers unfortunately.
>>64583099
Sade
Annie Lennox
Aretha Franklin
>>64583282
>>64583177
I think OP means artists that were able to cross the threshold of being both very well-known, but also near-universally liked by music "aficionados", like these >>64583286
>>64583099
Bjork
Debbie Harry
Joni will die this year :(
>>64583099
Madonna and it's not even close.
>>64583196
>Joni Mitchell
I feel like the fact that she's been semi-retired and on death's door for a couple years will soften that blow. She'll be mourned, for sure, and rightly so, but it won't be the sudden, shocking loss that MJ, Bowie and Prince were.
Tina Turner
>>64583099
madonna, kate bush and bjork for sure
Patti Smith, maybe. Certainly for critics.
>>64583131
>burgerland
Yuroshitbag detected. Sorry but USA > UK
Maybe the likes of Siouxsie Sioux, Debbie Harry & Chrissie Hynde.
>>64583424
I have literally never listened to Joni, but I hear a lot about her so I should maybe check her out. She does folk, right?
>>64583431
>Bowie or Prince
>a sudden loss
Bowie's album was quite evidently about his own facing of death, and Prince cancelled shows and had an emergency plane landing for his health's sake a week before he died. I wouldn't really call those all that shocking
>>64583306
How so? Her name literally took the meaning away from the word it used to be. Your mind has just been warped by how hard she's trying to stay relevant now
>>64583349
Who's mans is this
>>64583461
;)
>>64583498
blue is like straight up acoustic folk songs and ballads. Court and Spark is a little more poppy and has more arrangements. I personally prefer Court
>>64583499
>Bowie's album was quite evidently about his own facing of death
Obviously with hindsight we can say that. I doubt there was anyone who thought that he would die 2 days after its release.
>>64583484
>Siouxsie Sioux
n-no...
>>64583572
Is that a 'no, I disagree with you' or a 'no, I don't want to think about that'?
>>64583565
no I didn't think that, but after a couple watches and listens to Blackstar when it initially came out I had a feeling he was on his way out. And Lazarus? holy shit, especially the video
>>64583597
The second one.
Maybe Fionna Apple, and Erykah Baddu.
LOL I'm joking nobody knows about these and none of the others you mentioned, I only know them because of /mu/.
The real answers here are Madonna and Beyonce, I would also add any popular female star like Taylor Swift, Adele, Katy Perry and Rihanna. Only these would cause similar reaction.
The names you people list are for very niche markets like /mu/, if they died it would sure be shame but It wouldn't be on MJ,Bowie, Prince level.
Aretha Franklin
>>64583526
>implying the UK isn't also filled with fatasses with the added bonus of hideous slags
Madonna. Along with MJ and Prince, she was one of the defining pop stars of the 80s.
>>64583772
>mfw names like this are true to elicit a large response, mostly from people that have never once actively listened to their music
lady gagaa
>>64583889
this, none of the normies who mourned Prince and Bowie actually listened to them
Cher or Babs.
>>64583943
yep. The scornful semi-autistic side of me wanted to just ask people their favorite prince album after it happened when they seemed upset about it just to see them squirm just to utter "I couldn't pick one, they're all great"
>>64584019
Same, and with Bowie. But then the sappy side of me thought all the grief was kinda nice.
Of the artists that have sold 250 million or more records, Madonna is the only female. So I'll say her.
>>64584255
>>64583943
To be fair, a fucking shit ton of people listens to MJ, Prince and Bowie.
>>64583460

Madonna
Joni Mitchell
Patti Smith
Grace Jones
Dolly Parton
Carole King?
Grace Slick

Those bitches from Heart.

Joan Baez will be big.
Old folks are going to go apeshit over Diana Ross.
>>64583963
Drag queens will be devastated.
PJ Harvey

I get it, I get it. Your Aunt Sue beat you repeatedly when you were a kid while playing old Motown records.

Don't project. All my childhood memories of hearing The Supremes are untarnished.

JOAN RIVERS LIVES!
>>64583943
I think you underestimate how popular they are amongst normies. Not as many people "pretended" to like Keith Emerson or Lemmy when they died.
Christiane F from Zoo Bhanhof will die this year
>>64584717
Yeah this, except it would be the opposite of what people post, important everywhere except /mu/
madonna obviously
>>64583099
Probably Madonna. It's about popularity, not greatness. The likes of Kate Bush, Siouxsie Sioux, PJ Harvey etc. are nowhere near as popular as MJ and Bowie, even here in the UK.
None, women in music arent respected or given credit for making their own art
>>64583256
This
Tina Turner, Madonna, Debbie Harry. They're well-known pop divas who are not old enough for people to shrug off as a natural death from old age/some untimely terminal illness, while also not being young enough for only a bunch of people under 35 to be familiar with (at which point they probably did listen to them and so it won't be cool to pretend they were always lifelong listeners of theirs).
Janet Jackson
Billy Joel
>>64584928
>>64584832
If her name were Nancy Smith, you can bet she wouldn't have gotten any recording contract.
>>64583498
She's criminally underrated on /mu/ and most other places
Everything from debut to Hejira is pretty awesome. From then it depends how much you like jazz.
She has the best discography of almost anyone from that era apart from maybe Dylan.
Musically she is miles ahead of most folk type songwriters eg Neil Young or Leonard Cohen
Björk
>>64585175
haha no
>>64583498
half of her work is folk, the other half is more jazz. both are great
>>64584832
Supposedly she was so bad at singing that they had to string her recordings together from like 30 takes.
>>64585063
that implies that they did anything other than singing and maybe writing their own lyrics
amy winehouse
>>64585128
I don't think she would have had a career either if her name were Janet Jones or something.
Gwen Steffani?
>>64585415
who?
>>64585443

Alanis Morrisette
Aretha Franklin
Madonna
Brittney Spears
Debbie Harry
Chrissie Hynde
>>64583461
>Getting triggered this hard by banter
>no one said Bruce Springsteen
For the US, I don't think there could be a bigger death. Except maybe Bob Dylan.
>>64585974
>female
>>64585974
probably because bruce and bob aren't ladies.
>>64586001
That would be an ecumenical matter
Christine McVie
>>64583196
>>64583286
>>64583424
>>64584549
Just seeing you guys talk about the possibility of Joni dying made me tear up just a little bit
>>64583754
The deaths of either Lauryn Hill or Erykah Baddu would deeply shake the hip-hop AND ghetto minority communities. Which will influence people like Kendrick to say something, which will make all you people feel guilty about it, even though Lauryn has stated "If I knew white people were gonna buy my album I never wouldve made it"
Also, Madonna and Bjork are objectively correct.
