10 female artists who should be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/10-female- ... l-of-fame/

10. PJ Harvey
9. Courtney Love
8. Björk
7. Grace Jones
6. Marianne Faithfull
5. Siouxsie Sioux
4. Suzi Quatro
3. Sinéad O’Connor
2. Amy Winehouse
1. Lorde

From that list, I'll second Bjork and PJ Harvey. Courtney Love shouldn't be on the list as a solo artist. Her band Hole would be a far better choice, though I'd say even they fall short. I'd take Mariah Carey, TLC, The Pointer Sisters, and probably even Fiona Apple over most of what's on that list.

My thoughts exactly.

I think Amy Winehouse will be a good choice when she's eligible, as well, even though her discography is, obviously, very small.

Lorde, too, but there's a reason for the 25-year rule. The accomplishments of more recent acts are always difficult to assess.

Yes, I think it's pointless to include people who aren't even eligible yet on these lists. Obviously there are artists who aren't eligible yet who should be inducted when they're eligible. And if they're going to include artists that aren't eligible yet, why didn't they include Beyonce, Taylor Swift, or Adele?

I'm not big on inducting artists that did little of significance beyond their one big album, but there are other such artists in the Hall, and Back to Black is pretty huge.
