I've been out of town, time for some catch up.
Dionne Warwick agreed. While not vocally a powerhouse, she does still have some solid hits.
Gloria what can I say, one of my core acts. So many amazing songs regardless of the flack received over it. I would also throw in I Wish You, Heaven's What I Feel and of course Coming Out of the Dark.
Reba is someone I really need to dive more into her catalog. I'll Be (another DW penned classic) is amazing as well as her collab with Vince Gill "The Heart Won't Lie."
Petula also has some gems including Downtown & I Know A Place. My mom got her GH when FYE did their sale a couple of months back.
Christina another millennial diva. Also love Hurt, I Turn to You & The Voice Within, as well as "We're A Miracle," which was too good to be a B-Side.
I don't know much of Juice's catalog, but Angel of the Morning & Queen of Hearts are good.
Avril I really enjoyed when she first came out but my interest in here came and went as the years progressed. Losing Grip is an underrated gem, as well as Keep Holding On.
Neutron Dance is among the first songs I remember loving as a kid. The Pointer Sisters have a solid catalog, but that song always holds a place for me.
Wilson Phillips deserve more credit than they get. They were everywhere in the early 90s and then they just had an unfair quick fade out. You're in Love is problie my favorite.
Sara Evans another one with some solid hits. My favorite is the non-Mariah cover "You'll Always Be My Baby"

Selena has been hit or miss for me. Of the Disney girls that came out in the 2000s I thought she was one of the weaker ones vocally. "Wolves" did top my chart though. Aretha is of course Aretha. Most anything she touches is golden. I'd also throw in her 90s comeback "A Rose is Still A Rose." Alanis rarely misses for me and is mostly hit. A few I could live without, but I would also throw in Head Over Feet, Uninvited & Hands Clean. I even enjoyed her meditation album she dropped. I'd also throw in What About Me for Kim Carnes. She's one of those acts who seems pigeon-holed in one hit but has made more of a mark than people realize. Terri Clark I don't know a lot of her stuff but I also like "Better Things to Do" and "Girls Lie Too." Sheena Easton deserves more credit than she receives, and I have been diving into her catalog recently and really enjoying it. One of the more versatile women of the 80s up there with Madonna, Whitney, Gloria & others. Morning Train of course a classic, For Your Eyes Only, The Last to Know (originally performed by her later covered by Celine). The Bangles have some great stuff, also adding Eternal Flame, and All I Want from Susanna. Being below the Canadian border, Insensitive is mostly what Jann is known for here, but I also like Good Mother & Love Will Be Waiting. Taylor Dayne has a lot of great stuff. I was considering going to a show she was headlining late last year but due to my recent health issues ended up not going. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/1689518/images/qYjMwRWAzURWZUksEISe.gif) Also love Love Will lead You Back, I'll Always Love You and her covers of Can't Get Enough of Your Love & Original Sin. Agreed with Paula Abdul as well. Will You Marry me & Promise of a New Day I'd add as well.

If I were only including 90s, Mariah would be near the top for me. She was almost unstoppable, enjoyed everything. A few songs have not aged well for me (Honey mostly) but Daydream is among my top albums of all time. Always Be My Baby (not a Sara Evans cover), Anytime You Need a Friend, Butterfly & When You Believe I'd also add. Her inconsistency lately has been depressing. I do agree with you on Taylor. Loved her back in the day, in fact on my lastfm she still ranks in my top 10 most played artists, but at the risk of getting death threats by the Swifties, I'm pretty burned out on her. I still have not listened to her latest album and I don't plan on reaching for it anytime soon. I remember my dad having Laura's debut album on cassette. Agreed a talent we lost way too young. I'd also add her renditions of The Power of Love & How Am I Supposed to Live Without You. The Spice Girls YES! Sadly I never got to see them in concert, I was able to win tickets at the last minute but at the last second I had to give them up cause I had no way of getting to the venue. I could go on and on here, adding Goodbye & Let Love Lead The Way. As for solo success, Emma's "Free Me" album is probably the best of all of them. Mel C also has some good ones, oh hell they all do. As blasphemy as this sounds, I prefer Dolly's version of I Will Always Love You to Whitney's. Other than that you pretty much nailed it. You pretty much nailed Cyndi as well, I'd also throw in All Through the Night. I also remember her appearance on Mario Brothers and of course um... the theme to Pee Wee. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/1689518/images/bJgeHRhhXeuOT0VKsWOt.gif) Started solid with Pink, but then she became hit or miss with me. Adult top 40 stations here think she has to get played every 10 minutes which hurt her burn for me. Her debut album doesn't get as much mention as the rest of her stuff anymore and "Try This" was indeed underrated. A true comeback story in Tina and so many jams. We Don't Need Another Hero, Silent Wings & When the Heartache is Over I'd also add. I recently learned it was her talent manager that actually suggested Olivia do Physical. I never really dove into the Chicks' catalog, mostly stanned for Landslide and was glad to see it crossover. Also enjoy Wide Open Spaces, Goodbye Earl & Top of the World. Bonnie Tyler, YES! Total Eclipse of the Heart is not just a song it's a movement. One of my top songs of the 80s, if not my top song of the 80s. Holding Out For A Hero needed more love but glad it has become a classic in its own right. She's got so many I'd also add her cover of Two Out of Three Ain't Bad & Loving You's A Dirty Job. She has quite a few solid covers.

![](https://i.imgur.com/UTdC5E7.png) My Top 10 Songs: 1. I Love You - 1999
2. Independence Day 3. Love's The Only House 4. This One's For The Girls 5. Concrete Angel 6. whatever You Say 7. When God Fearin' Women Get The Blues 8. where Would You Be 9. How I Feel 10 Valentine
One of the greatest, powerful vocals in music belongs to Martina McBride. She can belt out with the best of them without the overdone vocal acrobatics. Her song "I Love You" was my number one song of the year 1999. Whether it's a sad moving song like "Concrete Angel" or belting out "Independence Day" Martina does not fail. Certainly, one of the best ladies of country. My Top 10 Songs:
1, Bad Romance - 2010
2. Poker Face 3. Shallow 4. Born This Way 5. Lovegame 6. Just Dance 7. Rain on Me 8. Telephone 9. Edge of Glory 10 Perfect IllusionOne of this century's best for me is Lady Gaga. She has 10 number one songs for me. Her biggest "Bad Romance" was my biggest song for the 2010 decade. Not too shabby! What I like about her dance songs is that they didn't come with a pre-requite rapper on them. Gimme those vocals Lady Gaga!! My Top 10 Songs:
1. Commitment - 1998
2. Life Goes On 3. Unchained Melody 4. Can't Fight The Moonlight 5. I Need You 6. Light In Your Eyes 7. Probably Wouldn't Be This Way 8. Big Deal 9. But I Do Love You 10 The StoryHere is another one of those country powerhouses. I first got hooked on Leann back in 1997 when I heard her version of "Unchained Melody". Her vocals blew me away! It's easy to see why she had a lot of crossover success. Her style wasn't overly country...and that works for me! My Top 10 Songs:
1. Brass In Pocket (I'm Special) - 1980
2. Middle of the Road 3. Back on the Chain Gang 4. Stop Your Sobbing 5. Don't Get me Wrong 6. Didn't Want To Be This Lonely 7. Let The Sun Come In 8. Night In My Veins 9. I Got You Babe 10 Never Do That
Chrissie Hynde, lead singer of the Pretenders is easily one of the coolest ladies in rock. I have been a steadfast fan of theirs right from the start. I remember how "Brass in Pocket" really took over my life in the summer of 1980. I've seen the Pretenders several times....it's always a rockin' good time! My Top 10 Songs:
1. Lost In Your Eyes - 1989
2. Out of the Blue 3. Foolish Beat 4. Say Goodbye 5. Only In My Dreams 6. No More Rhyme 7. Anything is Possible 8. Shake Your Love 9. Staying Together 10 Losin' Myself
Back in the late 80's I saw Debbie and was able to meet her backstage. Back then I told myself, Debbie was going to be the next Olivia Newton-John! Well that didn't happen and one more future pre-determined successor is still come. lol. I was a huge Debbie Gibson stan. Of her first 12 singles to chart, 9 went all the way to the top. Her biggest, "Lost In Your Eyes" was the top song of 1989 and is still an all time favourite! * Top 25 to go! These ladies are easily the cream of the crop for me. But I do like them all! * My Top 10 Songs:
1. How Do I Live - 1997
2. Believe Me Baby (I Lied) 3. There Goes My Baby 4. Georgia Rain 5. Where Your Road Leads 6. Real Live Woman 7. Squeeze Me In 8. I'll Still Love You More 9. Prizefighter 10 I Don't Paint Myself Into Corners AnymoreAnother fine vocalist to come from the country world. Trisha is in fact, the highest lady here that was predominantly country. I always found her vocal style to be similar to Linda Ronstadt. In 1997, Both Trisha and Leann Rimes released their versions of "How Do I Live". As you saw already, I did like Leann's version. But, for me, Trisha blows the song right out of the park for me. Another one of my all time favourite songs. My Top 10 Songs:
1. Broken Hearted Me - 1979
2. You Needed Me 3. You Won't See Me 4. Daydream Believer 5. I Just Fall In Love Again 6. Now and Forever 7. What Would It Take 8. Danny's Song 9, Shadows In the Moonlight 10 Make Love To MeHere is a lady which would probably not make it on most of your lists because of Anne's softer, middle of the road style. But for me, you have to appreciate Anne's rich voice. If you ever seen her perform, there is no choreography, crazy vocal acrobatics, no dancers or rockin' guitars. It's Anne and a microphone. No autotune needed here. My Top 10 Songs:
1. My Favourite Mistake
2. Everyday is a Winding Road 3. If It Makes You Happy 4. Prove You Wrong 5. All I Wanna Do 6. A Change Will Do You Good 7. Strong Enough 8. Soak up The Sun 9. Don't Cry Anymore 10 First Cut Is The DeepestFor me, Sheryl Crow has carried the "rock" chick from the mid 90s to today. Not a lot of misses from here for me. Just some great timeless tunes that are great to hear. My Top 10 Songs:
1. Take a Chance on Me - 1978
2. Dancing Queen 3. Knowing Me, Knowing You 4. Waterloo 5. S.O.S. 6. Fernando 7. The Name of the Game 8. The Winner Takes it All 9. Voulez Vous 10 Don't Shut Me DownFor Abba, only songs that the two ladies, Agnetha and Frida share or lead main vocals count towards the points total. Funny thing here is my favourite Abba song is "Does Your Mother Know" which the men take the lead vocals on. But all other Abba songs have the ladies front and center. Their solo efforts are also included here. With their unique Abba sound, infectious pop songs, Abba are iconic for any generation! My Top 10 Songs:
1. So Emotional - 1988
2. How Will I Know 3. I Will Always Love You 4. I Wanna Dance With Somebody 5. Greatest Love of All 6. I'm Your Baby Tonight 7. Where Do Broken Hearts Go 8. Saving All My Love For You 9. Didn't We Almost Have It All 10 I'm Every Woman
I'm sure if most of you compiled your lists of your favourite ladies, Whitney would be right up there securely within your Top 5 or Top 10. How shocking she is #21!? Not really. I love Whitney. Whitney has a fantastic library of hits. Whitney is iconic. However, my top 20 ladies are just a lil better for me.

Expanding to 10 songs let's see if I can throw in some more faves:
Martina is awesome. I've heard her get called the "Celine of Country" Valentine was my introduction to her but I Love You is the first song I really enjoyed, adverbly fulfilling. Also love "Anyway" and "I'm Gonna Love You Through It" which hits closer nowadays.
Nothing I can really add to Gaga. One of my most streamed artists.
Loved LeAnn since almost the beginning. I had known of her, but the first song I heard in full was "My Baby." "How Do I Live" of course iconic and "I Need You" is one of my faves.
The Pretenders have a good catalogas well. I'd also add some 90s hits of course "I'll Stand By You" and "Loving You is All I Know."
Can't really add anything for Debbie Gibson, pretty much nailed it.
I need to get more into Trisha's catalog, How Do I Live of course, I'd also throw in "You're Where I Belong" and her cover of "Shallow."
Agreed with Anne Murray, just straight up good vocals. "I Just Fall in Love Again" is one of my favorites.
Sheryl Crow was solid for me from her 2nd album until her GH. Her debut ahd a few misses for me though. It may be an unpopular opinion but I'd also throw in "Tomorrow Never Dies."
Funny I just watched the ABBA documentary a couple weeks ago. My favorite is Thank You For the Music.
Oh Whitney has too many gems to count. I would also throw in her version of "I Believe in You & Me," also "Count on Me" with CeCe Winans, "All at Once" and "I Learned From the Best."

This really is the pinnacle of favourite ladies here.... My Top 10 Favourite Songs:1, Alone - 1987
2. All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You 3. Who Will You Run To 4. Will You Be There (in The Morning) 5. Magic Man 6. Crazy on You 7. What About Love 8. These Dreams 9. Never 10. BarracudaThe music of Heart, for me, have been 2 eras, the rockin' 70s going into the video era beginning in the 80s. Ann Wilson is certainly one of the best rock vocalists male or female. The way she belts out "Magic Man" or Alone"...just awesome. But if we are going to talk about the power of Ann's voice we need to acknowledge sister, Nancy who has been by her side. Love Heart. My Top 10 Favourite Songs: 1. Heart of Glass - 1979
2. Dreaming 3. Rapture 4. Call Me 5. One Way or Another 6. The Tide is High 7. Island of Lost Souls 8. Maria 9. Sunday Girl 10. Long TimeDebbie Harry epitomized sexy cool in the 80s. Absof*ckenlutely love Blondie. During the 80s, they were my jam. I drove my dad nuts with "Heart of Glass" and the hits continued crossing over different genres. I remember when "Rapture" came out I told young self, ooh i love "rap" music. Well...no that did not happen. I did love the song "Rapture". I always hoped Debbie would have had a successful solo career, but that was never to be. In the world of overplayed 80s music, I never get tired of Blondie. My Top 10 Favourite Songs:1, (If You're Not In It For Love) I'm Outta Here - 1996
2, Don't Be Stupid 3, Any Man of Mine 4, Party For Two 5, That Don't Impress Me Much 6, No One Needs To Know 7, Man! I Feel Like a Woman 8, Love Gets Me Everytime 9, You're Still The One 10, Honey I'm HomeIn the early to mid 90s when I started venturing into New Country, I was blown away when a Canadian lady burst onto the scene with "Any Man of Mine". Shania was gorgeous. The song was fun and I was sold! The hits then kept coming including 12 number one songs and 38 charted hits. Not too shabby. My Top 10 Favourite Songs: 1. Woman In Love - 1980
2. You Don't Bring Me Flowers 3. Evergreen 4. The Way We Were 5. No More Tears/Enough Is Enough 6. What Kind of Fool 7. Stoney End 8. The Main Event/Fight 9. Tell Him 10. I Finally Found SomeoneBabs may not be your cup of tea but no denying her presence during the 70s and early 80s. I have always been a fan of great vocals, something that is quite limiting these days. Barbra can sing. I am also a fan of her many duets. My Top 10 Favourite Songs:
1. Hot Stuff - 1979
2. MacArthur Park 3. No More Tears/Enough Is Enough 4. Bad Girls 5. On the Radio 6. Love Is In Control 7. Heaven Knows 8. This Time I Know It's For Real 9. Stamp Your Feel 10. I Feel LoveThe Queen of Disco easily has a home in my Top 20. Like many other artists of the disco era, Donna really got a raw deal after the "disco sucks" movement. It took many years, but acts like Donna Summer are now staples on classic hits radio. For me, I never thought disco sucked. I loved it on my own and embraced acts like Donna Summer. My Top 10 Favourite Songs:1. Our Lips are Sealed - 1981
2. Circle In The Sand 3. Vacation 4. Mad About You 5. We Got The Beat 6. Heaven is a Place on Earth 7. Leave a light On 8. Head Over Heels 9. I Get Weak 10. I Feel The MagicWhen I first compiled this list, I had to do a double take. How is Belinda so high? I guess I always overlook her. But when you break down her numbers and look at the library of hits with the Go-Go's and her solo work. Belinda is where she should be. Love her stuff and glad she is still recording today. My Top 10 Favourite Songs:
1. Close To You - 1970
2. We've Only Just Begun 3. Yesterday Once More 4. Superstar 5. Rainy Days and Mondays 6. Touch Me When We're Dancing 7. Hurting Each Other 8. Top of the World 9. If I Had You 10. SingCertainly one of the greatest vocalists ever. With all the success Karen had, she had an equal amount of personal struggles, I suppose. Her passing was the first, and one of the saddest for me. But time to celebrate her great music. Rock on Karen and Sing....Sing a song. Make it simple to last your whole life long... My Favourite Songs:
1. Love and Understanding - 1991
2. Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves 3. I Got You Babe 4. Half Breed 5. I Found Someone 6. Dark Lady 7. If I Could Turn Back Time 8. Believe 9. Heart of Stone 10. The Beat Goes OnI see the young folks calling people like Dua Lipa and Ariana Grande "Icons". If you want to talk "icon", here is one, Cher. Her days with Sonny, her hits in the 70s, and her grand comeback in the late 80s, Cher has done all that. She is one of the greats. My Top 10 Favourite Songs:
1. You're So Vain - 1973
2. That's The Way I've Always Heard it Should Be 3. Nobody Does It Better 4. Tired of Being Blonde 5. Jesse 6. Mockingbird 7. All I Want Is You 8. Better Not Tell Her 9. Coming Around Again 10. You Belong To MeOne the greats I have yet to see in concert. Hopefully, one day. When you think of great ladies of the 70's, Carly Simon would be right up there. Her top 3 are easily some of my all time favourite songs. My Top 10 Favourite Songs:
1. Since U Been Gone - 2005
2. Behind These Hazel Eyes 3. What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger) 4. Piece By Piece (Idol Version) 5. Because of You (solo version) 6. Low 7. My Life Would Suck Without You 8. Mr. Know It All 9. Don't Rush 10. Never AgainHere she is...the top new artist of the century for me. Really love Kelly. This is one lady this century who hasn't annoyed me. Although, for me, the past seven years have just been "ok to good" for me. Come on Kelly, blow me away again!!

My Top 10 Favourite Songs:
1. If You Asked Me To - 1992
2. It's All Coming Back To me Now 3. Love Can Move Mountains 4. Because You Loved Me 5. A New Day Has Come 6. Nothing Broken But My Heart 7. Water From The Moon 8. My Heart Will Go On 9. Misled 10.Taking ChanceCanada's Celine Dion easily anchors a spot in my Top 10. Celine has always been a consistent hitmaker for me. 41 hits. 17 number one songs. Pretty impressive. The lady can sing without any imaging or attitude. Hoping Celine can continue to sing for the years to come. My Favourite 10 Songs:
1. Invincible - 1985
2. Treat Me Right 3. Sex As a Weapon 4. Heartbreaker 5. Shadows on the Night 6. Love Is a Battlefield 7. Fire And Ice 8. Promises In the Dark 9. We Live For Love 10.We BelongOne of my absolute favourites is Pat Benatar. During the early 80's she was easily one of my favourite overall acts. I played her early albums consistently. "Crimes of Passion" would easily be in my top 10 albums of all time! You won't find a stinker in Pat's library. She is one of the greats, I still have yet to see in concert. I certainly hope I have that chance. My Top 10 Favourite Songs:
1. Escapade - 1990
2. Love Will Never Do Without You 3. Miss You Much 4. Black Cat 5. Runaway 6. When I Think of You 7. Miss You Much 8. If 9. That's The Way Love Goes 10.Someone To Call My LoverLike many of the ladies here, Janet is iconic. It was always great looking forward to hearing her newest song and watching her newest video. She really got screwed by Nipplegate. I really wish she would put out an album and take us back to the early 90s! My Top 10 Favourite Songs:
1. Love Child - 1967
2. Endless Love 3. Upside Down 4. You Keep Me Hanging On 5. Theme From Mahogany 6. Ain't No Mountain High Enough 7. My World is Empty Without You 8. I'm Living In Shame 9. Reflections 10.Back In My Arms AgainDiana Ross is responsible for some of the greatest songs of all time. From her days with the Supremes through her solo career, Diana was cranking out the hits consistently. If there was anyone to whom the word "diva" would apply to it was Diana Ross. My Top 10 Favourite Songs:
1. Hold Me - 1982
2. Little Lies 3. You Make Loving Fun 4. I Feel About You 5. Don't Stop 6. Skies The Limit 7. Say You Love Me 8. Got a Hold On Me 9. Songbird 10.As Long As You FollowIn the case of Fleetwood Mac, where lead vocals were split among Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie, I separated the ladies. Christine pulls in the points with her work with Fleetwood Mac, her project with Lindsey and her solo work. Christine really knew how to put together the perfect pop song. She will defiantly be missed. .

2. Just To Hear You Say That You Love Me 3. Breathe 4. There You'll Be 5. It's Your Love 6. Like We Never Loved At All 7. Cry 8. It Matters To Me 9. Sunshine and Summertime 10.The Way You Love MeFaith Hill's chart run is quite impressive. 37 chart hits. 26 of them hit number one. She hit the top of my chart 70% of the time whether solo or in a duet with husband, Tim. I did see the Soul II Soul tour and that was a lot of fun! She is defiantly my favourite of all the country ladies. I just wish she would put out another album already. My Top 10 Favourite Songs:
1. You're No Good - 1975
2. Blue Bayou 3. Don't Know Much 4. When Will I Be Loved 5. It's So Easy 6. Different Drum 7. Somewhere Out There 8. Heat Wave 9. Poor Poor Pitiful Me 10.Get CloserLinda Ronstadt easily has one of the best voice in music without all the vocal acrobatics. She can sing ever so softly like "What's New" with Nelson Riddle or belt out high energy like "How Do I Make You. She can do it all in any genre. Yet, my young self in the early 80s, wanted her to stay and record pop/rock and not stray into other genres. lol. I did see her in concert in 82 and and I am so glad i jumped at the chance back then. I miss her voice on new music. My Top 10 Favourite Songs:
1. Like a Virgin - 1985
2. Like a Prayer 3. Material Girl 4. 4 Minutes 5. Vogue 6. Express Yourself 7. Lucky Star 8. Papa Don't Preach 9. Into The Groove 10.BorderlineIf you were listening to music in the 1980s you could not get away from how huge Madonna was. What a time it was waiting for the newest Madonna song to drop. Then waiting for the accompanying video where Madonna continued to reinvent her image. Her videos, especially in the 80s, are iconic. In the past 40 years, Madonna has hit my chart 63 times more than any other artist! You can keep your Beyonce, Rhiana or Taylor. This is the true Queen of Pop Music. My Top 10 Favourite Songs:
1. Dreams - 1977
2. Stop Draggin' My Heart Around 3. Rhiannon 4. Seven Wonders 5. Rooms on Fire 6. Talk To Me 7. Silver Springs 8. Edge of Seventeen 9. Stand Back 10. Secret LoveEasily one of the most iconic ladies of rock. Stevie Nicks with or without Fleetwood Mac has endured and put out classic after classic. I've defiantly seen Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks countless of times. Not sure if we will get any more music from Fleetwood Mac, but I am sure Stevie, at 76, will keep chugging along never disappointing. #1 My Top 20 Favourite Songs:
1. A Little More Love - 1979
2. Summer Nights 3. I Honestly Love You 4. Twist of Fate 5. Physical 6. The Rumour 7. Xanadu 8. Hopelessly Devoted To You 9. Deeper Than The Night 10. Magic
11. Have You Never Been Mellow 12. If You Love Me, Let Me Know 13. You're The One That I Want 14. Instrument of Peace 15. Stone In My Pocket 16. Dare To Dream 17. Make A Move on Me 18. Jolene 19. Heart Attack 20. Deeper Than a RiverIf you know me, this isn't a surprise. I fell in love with Olivia in the spring of 1979. When she put out "A Little More Love". It is and has always been my favourite song of all time. Soon after in the summer of 1979, I picked up her Greatest Hits which featured her pop-country sounds pre-Grease. Then I went to see Grease....my first time going to the movie theatre. From then on Olivia has been my favourite and will always be. I mentioned that the early 80s was my favourite time in music. "Magic", "Xanadu", "Physical", "Make a Move on Me", "Heart Attack" and "Twist of Fate" just dominated for me. In her peak 1978-1984, there were hit songs, videos, tv specials, a sell out concert. I was a happy boy. Going to end this on a happy note, her songs, videos, movies, and philanthropy will continue with in the hearts and minds of all her fans. - thanks for following along -
