Silver Springs, what a fabulous list! So many on there are my faves of all time.

And chili, wow! Amzing list...

I don't think I can compile a thorough enough list. It's almost easier for me to list who I don't care for, lol!

GREAT choices! Nice to see the Crows getting some love, and it's especially unusual to see Aimee in cluded in a list. I met Adam, Immy and Dan from the Crows after a gig once, had a great long chat wherein Adam critiqued my music collection, shared my love for Linda Ronstadt and signed my t-shirt. Oh, and a fellow Del Amitri fan - yes!

My list is as follows, with the first few in order and then it became impossible to place order on the list:

Counting Crows (Adam's lyrics get me almost every time)
Emmylou Harris
Kylie Minogue
Bonnie Raitt
Alison Krauss (and Union Station)
Melissa Etheridge
Carpenters (Karen may be the best female singer ever but it's a tough call)
Ryan Adams
Bruce Springsteen
Rosanne Cash
Jackson Browne (I think his first album may well be the best debut album ever)
James Taylor

(If Ihad to choose I think Jackson is marginally better than James but I seem to get shouted down every time)
Judee Sill
JD Souther
Aimee Mann (and Til Tuesday)
Sugarland
Sheryl Crow
The Go-Go's / Belinda Carlisle
Bruce Hornsby (and the Range)
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Suzanne Vega
Dusty Springfield
Alison Moyet
Linda Ronstadt
Girls Aloud
Dolly Parton
Joni Mitchell
Neil Young
Shelby Lynne
Natalie Merchant / 10 o00 Maniacs
Dixie Chicks
Nickel Creek / Sara Watkins
John Hiatt
Roxette
Kate Bush
Natalie Imbruglia (Also top of my Ultimate Fantasy Dream Woman list)
Deacon Blue
Beverley Knight
Kate Rusby

Cranberries


... and many more that I'm sure I'm forgetting right now and will add in subsequent posts!
