Top 5 Females on your Ipod

Cafe Society

From “Top 500” playlist (500 songs and only ten have played more than 4 times):

Nina Simone - Go To Hell (Mowo Remix) played 4X.

The rest tied with 3 plays each (two different songs for Joni, though).

Affinity - All Along The Watchtower
Sheryl Crow - Every Day Is A Winding Road
Delaney and Bonnie - Piece of My Heart
Joni Mitchell - In France They Kiss On Main Street (live)
Joni Mitchell - Blue
Joan Osborne - One Of Us

I would have expected a lot more Sandy Denny, Sarah McLachlan, even Melissa Ethridge or Sade. Chalk it up to the vagaries of iTunes shuffle mode, I guess.

42

Feeling Good Nina Simone
Non Je Ne Regrette Rien Edith Piaf
I Know a Place Petula Clark
We’re All in the Dance Fiest
Chain of Fools Aretha Franklin

I love that song! But had kind of forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder, I’m gonna run and listen to some Superjesus now. (Loved their first and second albums, then they kind of went a bit wonky.)

44

Ha, you’re welcome. It is a good song - I just didn’t think I listened to it as often as I must. This should get you started.

45

That was a hella interesting exercise, actually (not an iPod, but my PC playlist):

  1. Shelleyan Orphan - The Silent Day
  2. **10000 Maniacs **- Trouble Me
  3. Shelleyan Orphan - Shatter
  4. Tori Amos - Winter
  5. Dido - Hunter

It’s weird to me that 1 & 3 are on the same album, but 2 edged in there.

Also weird that Dead Can Dance & Cocteau Twins are lower down than those. I’d have thought both those would top the list…

46

I mostly use shuffle, so I got kind of a weird selection. These aren’t necessarily my favorites, but they are the most played:

“Over Your Shoulder” - Concrete Blonde
“My Baby” - Janis Joplin
“Johnny Sunshine” - Liz Phair
“Diet Pill” - L7
“One More Thing” - L7
“I Love Playin’ With Fire” - The Runaways

47

I’m really into female R&B singers, and it shows.

Gladys Knight
Alicia Keys
Toni Braxton
Mary J. Blige

and Sheryl Crow.

48

As of now:

Bree Sharp
Cibo Matto
Ella Fitzgerald
My Linh
The Creatures (ie., Siouxsie)

I’m pleased to see that the late Ms. Kirsty MacColl is still so popular among the TM. I’ll have to work her back into the rotation!
