craig 680 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 This is my list of the 100 great female music stars born in the past century. Selections are made by me based on commercial and cultural impact, and having enough musical appeal that I own at least one of their CDs. Only English language singers are included, but I've tried to avoid being either US or UK centric. Groups are listed based on their primary member. Of course my preference for pop and rock is reflected in the list. The 35 with an asterisk are my top 35, highly recommended Thoughts about who else to add are welcome. I also have longer list of musicians by birthday if anyone is interested. 9 Billie Holiday - April 7, 1915 *Vera Lynn - March 20, 1917 *Ella Fitzgerald - April 25, 1917 *Patty Andrews (Andrews Sisters) - February 16, 1918 Peggy Lee - May 26, 1920 Doris Day - April 3, 1922 Judy Garland - June 10, 1922 Marilyn Monroe - June 1, 1926 Patti Page - Novemebr 8, 1927 5 Loretta Lynn - April 14, 1932 *Petula Clark - November 15, 1932 Julie Andrews - October 1, 1935 *Shirley Bassey - January 8, 1937 Connie Francis - December 12, 1938 11 *Dusty Springfield - April 16, 1939 Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane) - October 30, 1939 *Tina Turner - November 26, 1939 Nancy Sinatra - June 8, 1940 Dionne Warwick - December 12, 1940 Cass Elliot (Mamas & the Papas) - September 19, 1941 Carole King - February 9, 1942 *Aretha Franklin - March 25, 1942 Barbra Streisand - April 24, 1942 Janis Joplin - January 19, 1943 *Diana Ross (The Supremes) - March 16, 1944 15 Carly Simon - June 25, 1945 *Debbie Harry (Blondie) - July 1, 1945 Bette Midler - December 1, 1945 Dolly Parton - January 19, 1946 *Cher - May 20, 1946 Linda Ronstadt - July 15, 1946 Kate Pierson (B-52's) - April 27, 1948 Grace Jones - May 19, 1948 *Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac) - May 26, 1948 *Olivia Newton-John - September 26, 1948 Lulu - November 3, 1948 *Donna Summer - December 31, 1948 Karen Carpenter (Carpenters) - March 2, 1950 Agnetha Faltskog (ABBA) - April 5, 1950 Ann Wilson (Heart) - June 19, 1950 6 Bonnie Tyler - June 8, 1951 Chrissie Hynde (Pretenders) - September 7, 1951 *Pat Benatar - January 10, 1953 Cyndi Lauper - June 22, 1953 June Pointer (Pointer Sisters) - November 30, 1953 *Annie Lennox (Eurythmics) - December 25, 1954 15 Siouxsie Sioux - May 27, 1957 Laura Branigan - July 3, 1957 Marie Fredriksson (Roxette) - May 30, 1958 Kate Bush - July 30, 1958 *Madonna - August 16, 1958 Belinda Carlisle (The Go-Go's) - August 17, 1958 Joan Jett (Runaways) - September 22, 1958 Susanna Hoffs (The Bangels) - January 17, 1959 Sheena Easton - April 27, 1959 *Kim Wilde - November 18, 1960 Melissa Etheridge - May 29, 1961 *Sara Dallin (Bananarama) - December 17, 1961 Sheryl Crow - February 11, 1962 *Paula Abdul - June 19, 1962 *Whitney Houston - August 9, 1963 13 *Shania Twain - August 28, 1965 Bjork - November 21, 1965 Samantha Fox - April 15, 1966 Alison Goldfrapp - May 13, 1966 *Janet Jackson - May 16, 1966 Shirley Manson (Garbage) - August 26, 1966 Sarah McLaughlin - January 28, 1968 Celine Dion - March 30, 1968 *Kylie Minogue - May 28, 1968 Cathy Dennis - March 25, 1969 Mariah Carey - March 27, 1969 *Jennifer Lopez - July 24, 1969 *Gwen Stefani (No Doubt) - October 3, 1969 7 Dannii Minogue - October 20, 1971 Dido - December 25, 1971 Jenny Berggren (Ace of Base) - May 19, 1972 Geri Halliwell (Spice Girls) - August 6, 1972 Jewel - May 23, 1974 *Alanis Morissette - June 1, 1974 Fergie (Black Eyed Peas) - March 27, 1975 8 Shakira - February 2, 1977 Sophie Ellis-Bextor - April 10, 1979 *Pink - September 8, 1979 *Christina Aguilera - December 18, 1980 *Beyonce (Destiny's Child) - September 4, 1981 Natasha Bedinfgield - November 26, 1981 *Britney Spears - December 2, 1981 Kelly Clarkson - April 24, 1982 11 *Cheryl Cole (Girls Aloud) - June 20, 1983 Avril Lavigne - September 27, 1984 *Katy Perry - October 25, 1984 Lily Allen - May 2, 1985 *Lady Gaga - March 28, 1986 Lana Del Rey - June 21, 1986 Ellie Goulding - December 30, 1986 Kesha - March 1, 1987 *Rihanna - February 20, 1988 Adele - May 5, 1988 Miley Cyrus - November 23, 1992 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
