I can agree with basically everything on this list except for Taylor Swift. What has she contributed to music that will stand the test of time in the ways that Amy, the Supremes, the Ronettes, Etta James, Lauryn Hill, Dusty Springfield, Dionne Warwick, and others have? Iâm even pressed to say that Adele shouldnât be on there. Or, at least, she shouldnât be that high on the list. Lauryn Hill should be so much higher on the list than she currently is.
Just another reason for me to not to pay any attention to that magazine that supposedly knows everything about good music!
What a joke.
Yoko Ono⊠What on earth??? Clearly the sound of a cat being strangled is better than the soulful tones of Amy⊠I am glad I have never bought this magazine. Hmph.
what kind of fuckery is this?
Oh pleaseâŠFor Godâs shake not Taylor! They forgot Amy for her!? WTF
Iâm embarassed for some truly great albums being in such crap company. Born This Way higher than Madonna, Adele at #6 while Amy doesnât even get a mention and The Miseducation and Taylor Swiftâs music are almost on par apparently. Siouxsie & The Bansheesâ best album is a best of compilation? Were they too lazy to listen to their work properly? Just embarassing.
Exactly! I can hardly believe that âRolling Stoneâ published this mess. There are some very odd and peculiar choices, and clearly, whoever authored this list canât distinguish true musical talent from mediocre fads.
Itâs a really bizarre list; in a list of the 50 greatest female records, Iâm struggling to see why BeyoncĂ©, Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, MIA, Lady Gaga and Adele are on there; Iâve got nothing against any of them (in fact I like some MIA and Yeah Yeah Yeahs), but none of them have released a album worthy of the list, and thereâs some other odd choices. I always find it strange Aretha Franklin seems to top all of their polls also. Yes, she is a legend, but I can think of people Iâd put ahead of her on an album list. Their polls always seem like theyâve been written by someone with pretty limited and biased music knowledge imo. There are some good calls on the list but the placing and many glaring omissions (not just Back to Black which tops half the records on that list) just leaves me a bit cold.
I donât like Taylor Swift⊠but I will give her this, she writes her own music, attempts to sing and has inspired another generation of girls to find their prince charming and proves itâs okay to be awkward haha. I canât even get through Adeleâs 21 in one sitting⊠it is definitely an overrated album but I guess she has touched the souls of millions with her put-on soul. And yeah Hill should be higher.
Those are like the very reasons I canât stand Taylor Swift. Her whole pure-white-princess-better-than-the-harlots-in-short-skirts shtick makes me barf⊠@TBR I think YYY, Alicia Keys and MIA deserve to be on that list, but not with those albums. Their earlier records are far more superior.
Haha yeah I find her revolting as well, but I canât deny she has created an image which a lot of teenagers love. The main thing is she writes her own music. You canât say that about a lot of pop stars now and she seems mostly genuine, although Iâm not a fan of her personality either. Iâm pretty sure she has pissed off the country music industry with her barely country waysâŠ
Most women on that list donât even rock ! Taylor Swift? And Beyonce? Sheâs beautiful and can dance, but she doesnât rock. And where is Kate Bush? That woman truly rocks ! I have a feeling Rolling Stones didnât include Amy on purpose. Itâs not a first time they do something like that.
I am actually surprised they didnât include Katy Perry. lol.
I posted on this in another thread based on the Nov, 2008 edition that included their idea of the top 100 of all artists. Itâs outrageous!
Honestly, I donât want to see Amy in the same list as Gaga or Taylor Swift. Amyâs in another list, with Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, The Ronettes and all that.
Yoko Ono? I have nothing to say for her, I think they added her name mistakenly. But Madonna.. Alright, she is an all time diva. Her concerts, performances, dances etc. are really cool but she hasnât got a unique voice. Her voice is too ordinary. I love some songs of her but just because she has been singing since 80s doesnât mean she is a better artist than Amy. MADONNA IS OVERRATED! Thatâs all.
I know Rolling Stone publish what THEY ARE PAID FOR:)
So, dont worry:) We know whats worth it⊠Iam not going to let RS tell me whats good and whats bad in musicâŠ
Amy and Whitney are not here⊠what a joke. 2 greatest vocalists on their timeâŠ
AND AMY!!! OMG, LADY AGGAGA? AHHAHA THE DONT KNOW ANITHING ABOUT MUSIC, BUT ANYWAY I DONT NEED A NEWSPAPER LIKE THISâŠ
