THERE IS NO BJORK IN THIS LIST

'Strange Fruit' is in there twice...and as amazing as it is i dont think it needs to be...

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 21 November 2002 18:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Alright, I was offline due to extreme death food poisoning, but can someone please tell me why no females voted on this thread? I'm perplexed. Or am I gonna have to start a "top 100 singles by BOYS voted for only by GIRLS" ?

Because I have to get down to number 18 before I find a record that I own... and there's no Shangri-Las, which is an outrage.

― kate, Thursday, 21 November 2002 19:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Out Huds first single Guilty Party should be included in the top 10. I know most of you haven't heard it but it's one of the most brillant songs written by women or by anyone for the past 10 years.

― Douglas, Thursday, 21 November 2002 20:18 (twenty-three years ago)
