who are your top 5 females making music today? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
BJORK! erm.. can't think of any others. All my favourite artists appear to be male. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats why I only said five because a lot of people here seem to think it's only males that make good music. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyway mine are: Bjork Tori Amos P J Harvey Kate Bush Lisa Gerrard |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Leila, Jennifer Charles, Beth Gibbons, Miss Kitten, Nicola Kuperus. Those last four all for their singing rather than "making music". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I could easily think of more, Beth Gibbons, Siouxsie, Maja Ratkje etc |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Kate Bush and Tori amos were my 6 and 7 respectively. |
||||||||

"4.)tatu <- i'm gonna get so much shit for this" manufactured bands not allowed :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
1. bjork 2. pj harvey 3. kim gordon 4. beth gibbons 5. tori amos (they're very far behind.. bjork is pretty much my favorite artist period, so it's easy competition among the few female artists i really am into) i need to buy a leila album.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey that wasnt the rules!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well didn't expect a manufactured girl band to be in a list of best 5 female artist making music today... and besided the females in tatu don't actually 'make' the music do they :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with you about bjork, she's far ahead of most people making music at the moment. |
||||||||
|

1.)bjork 2.)tori amos 3.)kathleen hannah 4.)tatu <- i'm gonna get so much shit for this I agree.... and add that beth girl from portishead. |

well i don't know that much (it's a shame i know!! *' _ '*) but i can name a few... 1. Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth, Free Kitten...) 2. Björk 3. Yoshimi P-We (Boredoms, OOIOO...) 4. Elizabeth Frazer (Cocteau Twins...) 5. Claude Sarne (12 Rounds), or Noriko Tujiko i also like the voice of the girl with Tricky (in Maxinquaye at least i don't know is she's in the other albums as well)... "my hands smell funny" > this goes well with your avatar...? ' _ - |

what did you expect? at least she didn't say christina aguilera.. i expected something more along the lines of courtney love (check out this from buddyhead) |

aphex's mom has an awesome track Drukqs |

Alison Goldfrapp Norah Jones Beth Gibbons Norsola Johnson Amanda Gomez |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
yea.. haha.. |

|
|

ooh liz fraser that's a great one people have somehow left out.. wow. i wonder what she's up to lately? do you think the cocteau twins will reform? i love their 'victorialand' album, i need to buy some others. frankly i'm surprised you can't name dozens of female artists you like, uzim. the girl who used to sing on tricky songs originally was martina topley-bird (who has a solo album now and has done collabs on albums from people like david holmes), but on tricky's most recent album he has a new italian singer named... (google searching) Constanza Francavilla |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
goldfrapp is good.. do you honestly think norah jones is anything special though? i think she's really bland. i'd much rather listen to "the real thing" than a (bad) remake of the style. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah Goldfrapp is great, amazing live too! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i saw a single from Norah Jones, took me a while to wake up from the coma it caused |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
beth gibbons does the music in portishead? I doubt that bjork pj harvey tori amos leila |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, yes - Alison Goldfrapp, Beth Gimmons i forgot them... : ) titsworth > yeah ' _ ' there aren't THAT many female artists out there compared to male artists in fact... by the way i'm wondering something about Tricky - i read he said in an interview that he hated when people were comparing him to Portishead... but he did a "musical cover" (or rip off or whatever) of Glory Box in Hell Around The Corner! and he also almost completely took the lyrics off Karmacoma for Outcome... (well he was in the band so that's ok i guess but still...) i like his music but i'm wondering, is there something wrong with him or do i get him wrong or what? =/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but she probably has an influence on the music side of things... i'm pretty sure she's not just a vocalist |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah i forgot about PJ Harvey too even though i've only heard one track by her, i loved the one i heard. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
björk, tujiko noriko, the múm twins, isobel sollenburger(bardo pond), regina janssen(donna regina)... |

Yasuko - melt banana |

i'm surprised no one else has mentioned Siouxsie. I think Siouxsie and the Banshees and The Creatures must be the most underrated bands ever. |

well in music at large there are about as many female artists as male, just not as popular, plus not nearly as many in electronic music.. but still i expected you to be able to roll off a slew of names without even having to think about it the tricky "cover" isn't one; those songs came out around the same time and they both heavily sample an isaac hayes song called "help me love" (download it). he does hate to be lumped in with portishead and especially geoff barrows though; he thinks he's better. they all hate the trip-hop term, too. as for the massive attack thing, he wrote those lyrics (he was involved w/ them for many years) and decided to reuse them with his own music instead of theirs. kind of like how trent reused the words to "suck" (written w/ pigface) for the broken EP. tricky does have major issues though. nacmat: what pantalaimon said. there're 3 members of portishead in the studio, i'm sure she doesn't just come up w/ the lyrics and then sing them (with no vocal melody in mind) when the whole track is done. i bet she's very involved in the whole process, plus her album w/ rustin man. |

tricky made karmakoma, so he just did another version in overcome both hell is round the corner and glory box took the music from a nehne cherry track tricky is far more important for music than portishead (I love them both) and they really sound very different |
||||||||
|

ZIA MCCABE. i heart zia mccabe! :) if anyone dares compare her with linda mccartney they will die! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
neneh cherry? which track is that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
grace slick of jefferson airplane. probably my favourite female voice. and fiona apple |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in what way do you think tricky is more important for music than portishead? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he's wrong.. some of you may be interested in this FAQ that i use all the time to get info (target="new")CLICK HERE).. i've given this link out several times before, no one seems to care, but it is very helpful in getting to the source of samples. |
