Now listen here folks, I want you to bear this in mind. If you're going to the mill, you're just losing time.

My buddy E.K. Wimmer did his list of Top 15 Greatest Female Singers of All Time. I wanted to share the fun.

15. Hope Sandoval



14. Memphis Minnie



13. Kim Gordon



12. Kate Bush



11. Georgia Hubley of Yo La Tengo



10. Donna Godshaux. She is not particularly my favorite singer but I give her huge props as the only lady that ever toured with The Grateful Dead.



9. Joni Mitchell



8. Erykah Badu



7. Aimee Mann



6. Bonnie Raitt



5. Stevie Nicks



4. Emmylou Harris



3. Fiona Apple



2. Dolly Parton



1. Ann Wilson of Heart



The headline above is from 'What's The Matter With The Mill' by Memphis Minnie.

Awesome! I thought of so many of these when I was writing mine and I said, "Oh, Deana would chose her!" Good call on Fiona Apple!!!
