My top 10 list would look something like this..throwing this together quickly
good Cyndi pick
whats the criteria? written by a woman or just sung?
if the latter these would be 2

Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt
I have a bunch that I would consider, but I'm also trying to keep to some notion of greatness = important or culturally significant. I would definitely take Kristin Hersh's Me and My Charms, for example, but then my list would be getting very 90's centric, and while that track is absolutely haunting, I don't know how important it is. Meanwhile, something like Nothing Compares 2U obviously deserves a spot.
There's a bunch of slop on the list so far though. Shania Twain, Wilson Phillips, a bunch of Ani DiFranco. I'm sure there's going to be loads and loads of Alanis.
i'd have a hard time not putting on something from Sheryl Crow's debut album on
Why, is someone threatening to kill you if you don't?

Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt
I absolutely considered Sweet Dreams. I'm not really a huge Annie Lennox fan or anything, but it's hard to overstate that song's impact during my childhood. It just sounds like it's 1984 and I'm in the backseat of my parents car driving somewhere. Also considered Cyndi, just couldn't pick out one particular song.
I fully expect a lot of these to feature prominently at the top of the list.
would add one of these 2 i think probably Drove All Night
last one i can think of with out sitting down and really thinking it over

Yeah, this belongs on my list of ten. Thank you. Down to 3 more spots now. People, please feel free to keep posting your lists. I'm not above having others do the legwork for me.

I'd like to burn every copy of that song sung by any of the thousands of annoying bastards who have ever sung it. Can't stand it.

Rid of Me was played yesterday, so that was cool. Good Fortune was played a few minutes ago.

Always been a fan of this band. Nice to hear some new material.
I may go see them with Earthside in Toronto in February.

Shit, I didn't know new stuff was coming out so soon. Listening to it right now.
Also, Caligula's Horse and Earthside together is pretty f***ing rad.

Yeah, I was listening. I feel like both of those are really early in the list, but whatever. I'm pretty sure Down by the Water will be her highest entry but she's rapidly running out of high profile cuts here. All of which is to say is that the greatest female artist of her generation is barely going to be represented in the greatest 500 songs by women, which is ridiculous.

I'm digging it but the vocals seem really undermixed on the two new singles.
Yeah, it's a rarity for an Aussie band to come to Canada, so I figure I may as well go!
Kinda how I lucked out seeing Leprous and Haken together on the Harvard campus on the Malina tour. That was incredible. Many smaller European bands just never make it over very much.

Excellent choices all around. Proud (female) member of the Whalers' team supergroup playing bass in that one too.
I'll be honest, I've been to very few concerts and never been to a concert I had to pay for.

Linger is a song that is just so timeless.
