Feminist Playlist Suggestions

[FrothyDragon]

So, a more light hearted thread. I recently started a new Spotify subscription (student discount), and I want a Feminist playlist.

So, if anyone has any recommendations, please add them below. I'll listen to almost anything

TIA

Hymn to her by the Pretenders

I bloody love that song

The Divine Tracey

Keep the Change by Mattiel

I’m not too sure what it’s about tbh, but it’s sung so powerfully

@BernardBlacksWineIceLolly Anything by The Pretenders is a good call!

@MockersOfTheMANifest This is the first time I've heard of Tracey Thorn. Going to give her a look later, but I love that one you've linked to. Thank you.

you can't beat a bit of Tori Amos

Anchorage by Michelle Shocked

A letter from one woman to another, and honest about women’s lives

And what about Sheela Na Gig by PJ Harvey?

I may have thought about this too much....

This is the first time I've heard of Tracey Thorn

She's good.

Helen Reddy 'I am Woman'

Then more about independence than pure feminism

Candi Staton 'Young Hearts Run Free'
Madonna 'Power of Goodbye'
Queen 'I want to Break Free'
Mabel 'Don't Call Me Up'

Buffalo stance by neneh cherry
Take your mama out by the scissor sisters

Couple of oldies:

Shout Sister Shout (Rosetta Tharpe)
W.O.M.A.N (Etta James)

Aside from the obvious Respect and I Will Survive, here are my suggestions (not sure they are 100% feminist though!):

Dolly Parton - 9 to 5
Nina Simone - Feeling Good
TLC - No Scrubs
Alicia Keys - Girl on Fire

And my absolute favourite Lynn Anderson - Rose Garden

Oh, and ofc Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made For Walkin’

Lesley Gore - You don't own me

Tears For Fears - Woman in Chains

Sisters are doin’ it for themselves - Eurythmics

Frankie goes to Hollywood Rage hard

Not feminist exactly, but motivating for the fight against the dying of the light

No Doubt - I'm just a girl
