That's just the way society has been and how many female fans were responsible for making those men famous. 1. Carole King 2. Billy Holiday 3. Aretha Franklin 4. Supremes 5. Madonna 6. Joni Mitchell 7. Janis Joplin 8. Tina Turner 9. Whitney Houston 0. Kim Gordon numbered by influence or presumed future influence on popular music [Edited 2/6/05 22:15pm] | |

Surely her crappy music wasn't innovating [Edited 2/6/05 22:40pm] Been innovative and influential are two very different things, She has been one of the most influential female artist of the last 30 years, she opened the door for Britney, Janet, Ciarra, Ashanti, minimal talent big ambition | |

Chrissie Hynde is a stepford wife compared to Patti Smith (who I love, but omitted)..plus the pretenders only had one great album..(the first one). I thought about chrissie, but Patti was more influential, but i couldn't find room for patti either..... Nico shoulda been large (drug fiend) Dewrede said: How is Madonna influental ?
Surely her crappy music wasn't innovating Being innovative doesn't make one necessarily influential.....otherwise Devo would be fucking huge and not just known for a video. Dewrede said: Surely her crappy music wasn't innovating
but it was influential, listen to crap on the radio or watch mtv. | |

 Karen Carpenter influential?
Just because you sing Close to You while you shower doesn't make her influential 
On the other hand, Kate Bush...  You owe me $5. I caught the big fish....again  | |

Influential: One who has the power to affect people, things, or the course of events, especially one that operates without any direct or apparent effort

Artist: A person whose creative work shows sensitivity and imagination Bessie Smith Billie Holliday Ella Fitzgerald Marian Anderson Aretha Franklin Joni Mitchell Edith Piaf June Carter Dolly Parton Carole King Oum Kalthoum - a good call; a giant in her society, but without being familiar with her genre of music, how can we judge her impact? Of the others mentioned, genuinely artistic but less influential than the above: Tina Turner Kim Gordon Patsy Cline Nina Simone Janis Joplin Possibly influential but not that artistic: Madonna Whitney Houston Janet Jackson Diana Ross Heart i like how you think....

i always find it funny that alot of times on this site people look down on anyone who doesn't write, produce, record, compose and perform every song on their album.
it is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.

So an artist must be a creator. Otherwise they're just performers.  an actor most of the times doesn't write his own material...I think performance can be an art as well, no? anyways, I do appreciate artists who write, compose and perform more.. RON PAUL REVOLUTION

Now I'm not here to argue about the merits of either group of women, but I do find it interesting that someone who doesn't write her own materia can be considered an artist, whereas someone who has gone out of her way to expressly speak her mind through her work is considered "not that artistic".
