Playlist: My Fave Songs of all-time by Female Artists

So it’s a extra amazing blog post list today! Over on Content Catnip blog or is it just a real website now? At the end of last month, she put together her list of favourite songs of all time by female artists linked here. I’ve just got to put together my own list in reply but it’s taken me a little longer to do and it’s been week or so since I said, I was going to do but here it is finally!

I’ve somehow narrow it down now to top 30 which I can’t get it down anymore than that, sorry if that is still too long? Making YouTube playlist again because I seem to enjoy doing them. I can’t number/rate them in anyway too so it’s just in order of release date from last year back to the late 60’s. Only one song per artist rule was applied but one artist somehow seem to have slipped in twice. Maybe, she scored my fave female artist of all-time award show gold medal! It’s Adalita of Magic Dirt with her bands’ 94 track Ice and then going solo in 2011 with The Repairer song. I have seen her playing live more than anyone else on my list which does seem to be import to me plus she’s an Aussie too which I do try to support the locals because they’re right here almost in my backyard. I’m most likely repeating myself yet again because all these songs have appeared my little blog countless times already, I’ll shut-up now and get on with it!

 Drum roll please, my Fave Songs of all-time by Female Artists are…

• MOD CON – Kidney Auction Blues (2018)

• Karen Dalton – Something On Your Mind (1971)
• Bobbie Gentry – Ode To Billie Joe (1967)

Once again, I could easy expand this list because so many missed out above but I really couldn’t make it any shorter! I can’t believe I haven’t done this before on my blog too! But I hope, it doesn’t come across as a bit sexist asshole or something? Being a male blogger talking/writing/typing about female singer-songwriters type of artists only. I think, it’s very good or totally great thing just to editing out all the blokes because they do get the spotlight too much in the music scene anyway! Should I have any kind-of explanation why I pick what track by who? Maybe, if anyone wants more details of reasons or whatever? Just ask, if you want tooo?

Adalita gets to be today’s feature image because off course, there is no gold medal award show!

Please, why not post your own favourite songs of all time by female artists? Or have you already got one you can share or just what to tell me what they’re for you?

Cheers 🙂
