100 Pop Records by Women I Highly Recommend

Recommended Posts

Also, I guess, my favorites, but I extended a lot of my considerations/choices here on the idea you pretty much don't waste your time listening to any of them! To keep it varied, I had a one album per artist/band rule. Most of these artists have made many other albums I've loved, but I've settled on these as my favorites, I guess. When it came to defending 'pop', it was too much of a pseudo intellectual headache, so I just went to RateYourMusic.com and used whatever they labeled as pop. lol Their genres are here, so please don't @ me with those, and sorry for being all presumptive beforehand. :headache:
