For the third straight March, we commemorate Women's History Month by celebrating the great music by female musicians. This countdown features some of the truly standout musicians from the last half century. I loved coming back to some that I know well and learning some "new to me" classics. I hope you enjoy!

The Dreaming is Kate producing her own stuff! very experimental!

Sid Levy

Great to see a good representation of female musicians for celebrating Women's History Month. Fun Video!!

Tom (the soggy one)

Hate to tell you- it's Linda 'Ronstadt', not 'Rondstadt'.

BRIAN MILLER

Watched it, and loved your reaction to "Fotheringay" ... I hope more Fairport Convention / Sandy Denny makes it into your future videos

Much as I love "Total Eclipse of the Heart", to hear what Jim Steinman can do with female voices you need to listen to the album Original Sin, a Steinman project credited to Pandora's Box. It features four singers including Ellen Foley (who sang on the first Bat Out of Hell) and includes the song "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" later covered by Celine Dion.

Absolute chills every time with Ann Wilson on this performance.

Fantastic EPL with some really unique stuff. Ann Wilson is always terrific. Fotheringay was my favorite - beautiful vocal, great lyric, and great chord progression. And I discovered that Joni Mitchell plays an open tuning on This Flight Tonight, which allowed her to make those sliding chords.

Loved Meg's choice. Must see if I can find the matching documentary again.

FYI, Waddy Wachtel, who was playing guitar on the Linda Ronstadt track, is also the lead guitarist for Stevie Nicks. He originated and still plays the guitar line on Edge of Seventeen, and is on the video you reacted to.

Always absolutely loved Fotheringay. Sandy Denny was a beautiful lost soul who left a timeless legacy with her amazing voice. 'Who knows where the time goes' definitely deserves a play on TDD.

Sugarcubes Birthday is a great song... odd choice to premiere Bjork with though. <3

"The Dreaming" by Kate Bush is a pretty amazing album. It has to be one of the most experimental/uncommercial albums ever released by a major artist. She reigned it in quite a bit for the "Hounds of Love" follow up (my personal favorite). Cudos to Kate for taking chances. Again, it's quite an album...
