I'm putting together a playlist and looking for suggestions
Female singers
I like belting it out in the car when I'm alone
My 2 favourite singers are Mary Coughlan and Kirsty MacColl. Florence and the machine, 4 non blondes and Alanis Morissette are sounds I like and sing along with
Can you add anything?

I love this thread. I feel like the ones I haven’t seen on here are more country ones - firstly the Chicks (used to be called The Dixie Chicks), try Gaslighter! But they have tonnes of great ones. Ready to Run. Etc

Kacey Musgraves

Dolly of course, 9-5 is a feminist anthem

glad to see Margo Price getting a mention

Joni Mitchell

and any yell along list needs Survivor by Destiny’s child
