Top Ten Women of 80s Music
Guide Picks - Top Ten Women of 80s Music
Women came out in droves in the 80s to write, play and produce their
own
music, here are ten Guide picks as the most influential, important and
downright remarkable artists.
1) Blondie - Debbie Harry
Fronting an all-male band in the mid-70s, Debbie Harry is the patron
saint
of women of 80s music.
2) Madonna
Blazing a huge territory for woman's place in music was the Material
Girl.
Like her or hate her, she made an indelible mark on the face of woman
and
Pop music.
3) Go-Go's - Belinda Carlisle, Jane Weidlin, Kathy Valentine, Charlotte
Caffrey, Gina Shock
The first all-girl band to write their own music, play their own
instruments
and achieve number one chart status.
4) Cyndi Lauper
With a multiple octave range and a very unique style, she created some
of
the most memorable sounds (and looks!) of the 80s.
5) Siouxsie & The Banshees - Siouxsie Sioux
Fronting a Post-punk band in the late 70s and seeing it through to Pop
stardom in the 80s and 90s, Siouxsie Sioux wins my vote as one of the
most
influential women in musical history.
6) Art of Noise - Anne Dudley
Starting out the early 80s as part of Trevor Horn's in-house studio
band,
Anne Dudley was the center of Art of Noise, having previously arranged
and
produced material for Frankie Goes to Hollywood, ABC, and Paul
McCartney.
7) Throwing Muses - Kristen Hearsh, Tonya Donnely & Leslie Langston
The first American group to have an album released on the prestigious
4AD
label, Throwing Muses quietly inspired a great deal of women to show
off
their musical talents. The band then spawned solo careers for Kristen
Hearsh
Tonya Donnely and two successful bands in the 90s, Belly and The
Breeders.
8) Cocteau Twins - Elizabeth Fraser
Elizabeth Fraser's voice is one of the most distinctive and striking in
Alternative music. Inspiring a slew of bands throughout the 80s and
90s, she
is one of the most overlooked of all the woman of the period.
9) Joan Jett
Kickin' ass and taking names, Joan Jett rocked onto the Pop music scene
fronting her Blackhearts and penning some of the most memorable
anthems.
10) Janet Jackson
Michael's baby sister proved that she wasn't about to stand in his
shadow
and displayed her maturity and independence as a solo artist.
