Last week, I happened to see an article on the NPR website here in the US, featuring a crowdsourced list of great albums by female artists. (This followed a list NPR released last July, curated by critics. It’s certainly interesting to see the differences between the two.) We thought it would be interesting to see what our readers can come up with – we’ve set up a starter list of albums (note: we’ve currently limited ourselves to one album per artist, but don’t feel that you have to do the same) to which we hope you’ll contribute. There have been a number of articles recently about the relative absence of women in award nominations, festival lineups, and radio station playlists; we’d love to work with you, our readers, to shine a brighter light on the many talented women working in Canadian music.
