  Which "comments count"? The "Top Commenters" is back on the sidebar now; is that what you meant?

  You lost me on that one too, godoggo.
  
  Heya Big Lug, you owe me no apology. I mistunderstood your post too. I took it to mean first "Calling Occupants" wasn't worthy of guilty-pleasure status. That's what the first line of my post meant. After I posted it, I then realized I was mistaken, and you meant "Klaatu was an 'imaginary' Beatles so "Calling Occupants" was an imaginary song." Which wasn't quite what you meant either. I'll confess I was enjoying some Sunday afternoon beers, and probably shouldn't have been operating heavy machinery, like a computer. ;-)
  
  Baronious: I was wondering about Sheryl Crow myself. She has a lot running against her for remaining large in posterity. For one thing, she was discovered late in life for a woman singer, she never had a young-chick sex symbol phase that always leaves deep impressions. She's already fairly adult contemporary; "If It Makes You Happy" was probably the best song she had in her, and that was 9 years ago. She hasn't cultivated much of a public image like the memorable names on the lists. She's not a particularly renowned lyracist. We'll see...

  Bree Sharp is worth a listen. And if you're putting Liz Phair in the top 25, Bree should definately be in the top 100 :P

  Hey UAO,
  
  Again, where are Amy Lee and Pink?!?!
  
  Yay for Macy and Alanis though!!
  
  Please start a Top 25 Female lead singers blog, that would make a good read if YOU wrote one. :-)

  It really is an excellent list. It's nice to see that you did seem to be neutral and did take input from commenters (I read the first page). Anyway, all I'm getting at is that The Slits, Alanis, and The Pretenders made the cut, so I'm happy. And kudos on giving The Go-Go's the punk credit they usually don't recieve.
  
  And on a totally different note, I do consider Pink rock, as you said you didn't on the first page. She's as much rock as Macy Gray, at least.

  I agree about Wanda Jackson; definitely a pioneer as far as women in rock are concerned. I also think that Annie Lennox should be on the top fifty and Nina Hagen should have an honorable mention. Again, there are so many great women, it's hard to choose.

  I do not know if you consider Tori Amos rock, but I must say she is one of the many women (along w/PJ Harvey, Poe, Liz Phair, Ani, and Bjork) who rocked it and rocked it hard. Your list is pretty good though!

  Patsy Cline's voice was too beautiful for Rock music. Thats why she wasn't Rock. She was a Country singer with a gorgeous voice!
