The hottest 100 - sheilas only

[Pseudo]

Story in today's bumwipe about some female-only "hottest 100" being organised in response to the fact that triple J's "hottest 100" was dominated by phallic-enhanced artists.

http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/stor ... 21,00.html

Now I figure that with effort, one could make two such lists:

A. 100 best songs by (mostly) female artists, and
B. 100 (mostly?) female artists one would most like to shag.

So, let's have some nominations for both lists....

[maxyoz]

A. Most things by Bjork
B. Bjork

[Pseudo]

Perhaps this shoulda gone on the music board.... mods?

PS Maxy, definitely Bjork for category B, if only for her premier grunting ability...

[Baron Greenback]

For the B list

1. Christina Aguilera
2. The rest.

[Bum Crack]

For the B list. Nobody probably remembers, but her name was Jennifer Paige and she sung a song called Crush I reckon it was. She used to give me massive wood.

[Dogwatcher]

Pretty much a one hit wonder in this country BC.
That song was number one at this time in 1998.

Guess what song followed it to number one in 1998?

Blue (Ba da dee) by Eiffel 65.

Yeah, I never heard of her again after that. She has those f*ck me eyes though. Never forget them.

[Dogwatcher]

Interesting that the article said it was in reaction to "the all male Triple J Hottest 100".

Judging by the fact it is 'The Hunmmingbird 100', I think that's a convenient way to make it 'newsworthy', as given the amount of advertising that the Hummingbird beer for women has received on MAX it was a commercial agreement, more than a reaction.

Has anyone drunk the Hummingbird beer yet? And what exactly constitutes beer for women?

Agreed.

[Baron Greenback]

Jennifer Paige is a stunner BC!!!!
Just Googled her.
Might Google her when I get home too!

[Mr66]

It would be interesting to find out how many of these songs were written by men.

[maxyoz]

It would be interesting to find out how many of these songs were written by men.

Prince probably wrote 40% of them.

I said men!

[CK]

The biggest selling female solo album of all time only has the one song (Carole King - I Feel The Earth Move)?

Nothing by one of the biggest selling female artists of all time with Enya?

"Go Your Own Way" is sung by both Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham, so in that case, would have expected other duets if they qualified.

Katy Perry?? Egad...

I love her music big time, but there is still a LOT of P!nk in there....

[Dogwatcher]

I concur with all of those sentiments CK.

[silicone skyline]

For the B list. Nobody probably remembers, but her name was Jennifer Paige and she sung a song called Crush I reckon it was. She used to give me massive wood.

Was looking at her the other day. Stunning. Not a bad song either.

[Leaping Lindner]

Lots of Pink but no Patti Smith. Then again I suppose Patti isn't a real punk like Pink is.
Also I think PJ Harvey is okay but then again she is no Beyonce or Lady Ga Ga.

[zipzap]

That list has nothing to do with JJJ does it? Some absolutely dreadful rubbish there
