Which one of these do you like the best. Who should have I added that I didn't?

Dreamboat Annie because it is one of my all time favorite albums. Here is a less know group The Gathering that you could have added. This is a clip of a song from their Mandylion album. Mandylion is another one of my all time favorite albums.

I went with Bella Donna...Love Stevie Nicks and this album in particular.
Also could have gone with Janis Joplin, Heart or Pat Benatar...

By no means her best album, but I voted for Hounds Of Love.

Great list! I thought it was going to be easy for me as Joan Jett's 'ILR&R' was listed & did get my vote. Looking past probably the best Power Pop/Rock anthem ever with the title track & a cool Pop with an edge cover of Crimson & Clover there's a few Kick ass tunes such as "Victim of Circumstance", "Run Away", or the sado/masochistic "Love is Pain". I always thought the covers of the Dave Clark 5's "Bits & Pieces" & the Halo's "Nag" were fun tunes also. It's hard not to pick Heart's 'Dreamboat Annie' album, the Pretenders debut which has no weak songs at all on it, The Runaway's debut which may have had a better chance for me but that long epic final cut "Dead End Justice" despite the cool music & great drumming by the late Sandy West,was just dumb, & Patti Smith's Horses which I don't think gets enough credit in the Rock world. The track "Land" is a classic which just builds up & explodes then intertwines "Land of 1000 Dances" in it. Her take on "Gloria" builds up the same way It starts off soft as Patti Sings "Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine..." before slowly building up to the Van Morrison classic in a totally different vein.

Some good albums there, but my choice would be....
Blondie - Parallel Lines
Kate Bush a close second.

I went with Heart and "Dreamboat Annie". No other album here has two songs quite the caliber of "Crazy On You" and "Magic Man" IMO. Though, I'll admit, "Dreamboat Annie" has little beyond those two songs to get my attention.

i think side 1 of Dreamboat Annie is great...and side 2 blows. Heart really never did SOLID CDs IMO. Half the songs are always good, while the other half were down-right annoying.

Heart is one of my all-time favorite bands, but you hit the nail right on the head: they've NEVER done a great album all the way through. |

Dreamboat Annie.
It's a double album and I think it's pretty dang solid!
It has the "Jewel" factor. The debut that has all their experience, trials, tribulations artfully expressed. It's a natural high water mark when the band finally gets a forum to put out all their best up to that point. The follow ups seem desperate to garner the same feel and depth.
Great list on that poll!
Pat Benatar is major-general contender!

Wendy O. Williams of Plasmatics was a good frontwoman.

Although, not a "chick" album in my opinion, I would have to go with Kate Bush. Kate's music is ethereal to a point that trancends gender. The women that love her and her music, understands the meaning behind the words and message that she sends out. The men that also love her music can relate to what it is that she has to say on many levels...ergo, helping them relate to just exactly what it is that the women that love her can relate to...and in most cases, are able to find the necessary understanding to relate to the women that they in turn, love and cherish. Sounds kinda corny to a degree, but slap on a Kate cd...you too will understand. The girl speaks volumes in her work...not to mention that her music sounds just damned fine!!!  Thanks Kim |

Thanks Kim By chick album I just meant primarly a female artist recorded it having nothing to do with what gender would enjoy it. One of my favorite songs of all time is a Kate Bush duet. And she has to be great she was discovered by David Gilmour. |
