Your FAVOURITE ALBUM by a female?

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

The family Jewels - Marina

The Kick Inside - Kate Bush

Debut - Bjork

Island Life - Grace Jones

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Jagged Little Pill, Alannis Morrisette, Sade, Diamond Life

Isn't that the one that includes the most (unintentionally) hilarious song in history, 'Ironic'? Nothing in the song is actually ironic, except perhaps for the fact that the writer doesn't understand the meaning of the word.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Past Life Martyred Saints by Ema is a brilliant album. Her second is out this year.

Good call.

 

[tigertim68]

Anita Baker Rapture 1986 great soul album

 

[paul wickens]

Anything by the incomparable Karen Carpenter

 

[Prince Monolulu]

 

[ExmouthExile]

The Art of Love - Sandra Cretu
Aerial - Kate Bush

And quite liking the new Warpaint album at the moment, but that's a band.

 

[brakespear]

'Rickie Lee Jones' - Rickie Lee Jones
'Big Science' - Laurie Anderson
'And She Closed Her Eyes' - Stina Nordenstam

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Patti Smith -horses
Joni - Lily of the valley

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

'Revelator' album by the Tedeschi Trucks Band, featuring Susan Tedeschi, what a gorgeous voice.

Won a grammy for best blues album.

An example of her work is 'Midnight in Harlem', see footage of the Crossroads concert on Youtube. I defy you not to feel chilled out after watching that.

Her old man Derek Trucks (formerly of the Allman Bros Band) isn't too shabby on the guitar either.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

Diana Ross
Celine Dion
Lara Fabian
Tina Turner
Leona Lewis
Elkie Brooks
Olivia Newton John

Pauline Murray (Penetration)

 

[Braders]

Caro Emerald - The Shocking Miss Emerald
Regina Spektor - Far
Bat For Lashes - Two Suns
Ladyhawke - Ladyhawke
KT Tunstall - Eye To The Telescope

These for me too

Past Life Martyred Saints by Ema is a brilliant album. Her second is out this year.

^ One of my faves of recent years.

I'm thinking Nico - Desertshore.

 

[Leighgull]

[AmexRuislip]

'Giving you the best I got'

Anita Baker

 

[Soulman]

Any album by the Empress of Soul......That's Gladys Knight.

 

[shaolinpunk]

Are we allowed female groups? If so, We Are The Pipettes by the Brighton-based (and now defunct) Pipettes is one of my favourite albums of all time

 

[Norman Potting]

A Girl Called Eddy by A Girl Called Eddy. 2004 and I am still waiting for a follow up.

Love this track, there was spine chilling live version done on the Mark Radcliffe show many years ago, love to know how to get hold of it.




Richard Hawley on guitar, also produced it I think.

 

[BN9 BHA]

The Kick Inside -Kate's Bush.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Julia Holter's Ekstasis has got to be up there too.
