Hey ladies
At least I wasn't the only one who noticed that the jjj hottest 100 of all time was a little short of the female set.
Frankie magazine posted and article stating that only 10 of the top 100 were sung by women. (yes, only 10!!!) While Frankie mag gives a big 'thumbs down' to jjj for forgetting women, I don't really think its their fault. They just ran the poll. It was the jjj listenership who voted on the songs, and they DIDN'T vote for the ladies.
Frankie posted their own top 50 list, it's ok, but it is slated to Aussie singers and is a little too 'kool for skool' for me. I would add in there Tina Turner, Janis Joplin, Carol King, Dionne Warwick, Ella Fitzgerald, Missy Elliot, Ani Difranco, Maria Callas, Courtney Love and maybe, um, KYLIE!?!?!? (maybe Joan as Policewoman is way cooler than Kylie...)
Anyway, we all know that 100 years from now no one will know the name Karen O.
