Heart, Blondie, and Ronstadt were all on the list. Yet Patsy f'n Cline wasn't. And I'll die on the hill of Patti Smith's Horses being one of the foundational albums of modern rock n roll. I would have voted it #1, knowing Blue was gonna win.

Patti Smith was and is awesome. But I think the biggest oversight is the paucity of power pop, a genre dominated by female acts: Throwing Muses, Blake Babies, Helium, Juliana Hatfield Three, the Muffs, Belly, Dressy Bessy, etc.

Showcase should be in the top 10 IMO.

I was going by the Top 25.

Almost "pre-album" though. And to be fair, Benetar wasn't a "great" album artist, either.

And, I think deserving of a Top 10 spot, but I was never much of a fan. Music remains pretty subjective. However, when the short memory and SJW-drive is so transparent, it's easy to dismiss the entire list.

Blake Babies

I love Blake Babies, but even a lot of my friends my age(mid-40's) have no clue who they are. And these are people that were big into REM, Lemonheads, etc. in the late 80's and early 90's. Juliana Hatfield has had an impressive career, and I saw Blake Babies on their last tour last year and she absolutely shreds the bass guitar.
