Nice Rev, interesting to hear people's opinions.
Yes, even when they are wrong. JK
Ill plan/try and do this for the subsequent rounds.
I'll be honest, I don't listen to enough female artists. This has been a good exercise to listen to stuff I haven't heard before and I've enjoyed it. Added quite a few of the songs to my playlists etc.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
Sorry for my overly poppy pick everyone. My original choice was this, but I had second thoughts at the last minute. It seemed like it had too much dude singing to pass the bar:

I was asked by a woman a few years ago how many female artists I listen to. And initially I thought it was probably 25%, but after paying more attention and adding a few to my library it is probably 50/50. I will include bands like the Cramps in there too because Poison Ivy plays the guitar so to me that's legit. She was as much a part of the identity of that band as Lux.
And ultimately it has lead to a broadening of my musical horizons.

Finally squeezed them all in. I'd be ok with almost half of them. They basically fall into 3 categories of like it, indifferent, hate it. Fewer fall into the last category than you might expect
You've changed, man. It used to be about hating the music.
Im still hating man, still hating look at my reviews. Although my happy pills may have skewed my judgment a little.

The old revbob would have given pretty much everything a -1/10. This guy … yeah … I don't recognize him.

Makes me think of that time Hoy did a Weezer song-by-song evaluation and seemingly gave nothing more than a 6.

Seriously?
I was shocked at how low my percentage was. Obviously not a conscious thing but looking through my vinyl, CD and on line music I wouldn’t get close to 25%?? Not sure why that is, certainly not a conscious bias.
Interestingly when I look at Mrs101 on line playlist she is easily 50% if not higher however I am not that fussed about some of the female artists she listens to most.

That's the catholic guilt, self doubt and loathing creeping in. Ill need a stronger dosage to overcome all of that.
