Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Excellent! Now if only the download weren't so damn slow!
It took me over 2 hours to download it.
I have recently gotten into more "popular" music as of late, as you can see-- and I am wondering-- are there more women singing than I can think of, or were my college years (1991-1995) just a heyday for female singers. Because I listened almost exclusively to female singers/groups in college ranging from Hole to Edie Brickell to Tori Amos to Fiona Apple to the Indigo Girls, and even people I didn't quite care for, like Paula Cole and Alanis Morrisette. I could keep going with many more names.
I can only think of, currently, Greta from the Hush Sound, Katie Perry, Gwen Stefani (don't know if she is still popular), Ashlee Simpson and The Pussycat Dolls right now, but my scope of listening is rather small... and I only really like The Hush Sound. was there some sort of backlash and have women dissappeared, or am I missing a whole big group of people?

Sophia, have you heard Bat For Lashes?
Well, there's Pink and Avril Lavigne amd Kelly Clarkson, off the top of my head. A LOT of alt-country women out there (Lucinda Williams, Kim Richey, Shawn Colvin). There's also the new soul comeback, with Duffy, Adele, and Amy Winehouse.
There are a lot of other R&B women, too, like Beyonce.
Bah. Got a "Service temporarily unavailable" from Tom's link.
I haven't, but I will check them out. I have been stuck in a musicals plus folk singers plus Magnetic Fields for about 10 years, so everything is new to me!
Lily Allen, Dresden Dolls, Tegan & Sara, Norah Jones, Nellie McKay, Jenny Lewis (Rilo Kiley).
Thank you, thank you ! (I had forgotten about Pink, but most of the others are new to me!) I knew Buffistas would come through.
