Five Most Ignored Musicians

[nicepace]

I have nothing to say about the crude Stevie-bashing in this item, but I do think the writer has a valid point in including Christine in a list of most ignored musicians. The key word being musician. I think Christine has had tons of recognition as a vocalist and a songwriter, but very little as a musician. There weren't a whole lot of women in bands in the 1960s and early 1970s who not only sang, but wrote their own songs, and played an instrument. I can't think of a single other woman in that time frame who did all three jobs in a mixed-gender band, on an equal basis with the men in the band.

In my opinion, this makes her an important rock 'n' roll pioneer, but I have given up on ever seeing an actual rock critic or historian make this point.
