But what qualities? I wrote a song called Women in Music in the 80's about three NYC artists on the rise one was Elly Brown she raised the roof at the Lone Star Café opening for all my favorite soul stars Sam & Dave Jr. Walker et al. Turned out she was under the wing of Steve Berg later to become my kid pickup playground buddy at ps41 Greenwich Village school where Scarlett Jo was in my daughter's class. She had an album but I think it flopped. Steve worked with Phoebe Snow / Billy Joel and one of my releases by Ivan Julien (Richard Hell & the Voidoids) and Cynthia Sley (Bush Tetras) on 109 Records was recorded at his Baby Monster Studios. It mostly flopped and Elly "Elly say yeah yeah wow there aint no stopping you now." whom I adored flopped. The point is don't do Women in Music it'll flop. Just do music. If you do then Chappell Roan and Sierra Ferrell should be at the top. My 2 cents.
I’m guessing your next one might be Grateful Dead. And I’d love to see one on Madonna.
Good guess, Thea ;) And noted on Madonna! Thanks for reading and voting.
I second Madonna. Also Joan Armatrading is a great pick too.
Thanks Steve!

I'm going to categorically disagree that the theme itself will flop. The initial response to this post suggests otherwise.
I was in a non-categorizing mood. Party on!
The next one might be Radiohead, as a guess? Or possibly the Dead? As for next year, I'd like a look at the discography of Joan Armatrading.
Thanks for the recommendation Bryan! Good guesses for the next discography ranking post, btw ;)
