Let’s say contribution/inspiration. Who is a female singer that all singers male and female want to be compared to, aspire to be? Think like jim hendrix, bob Marley. Who is just a legend that is respected across the board and will be remembered for a hundred years?
if Madonna isn’t THE one she’s gotta be right there at the top. Pop, hands down.
thing is just imagine if billie holiday had madonas resources. They have a similar sorta voice kinda just clearly a different style.
How much you wanna bet though that holiday inspired Madonna? That being said, to you’re point, how many more people did Madonna inspire? It is what it is.
just because jimi was probably influenced by rob johnson doesn’t mean that jimi didn’t inspire more people. Like I said, it is what it is.

Lol, omg that’s hilarious! I’ve never seen that. I can’t believe that actually happened. That’s a huge crowd too! I’d love to know what kind of drugs she was on. Guarantee you some of the people on here are on the same stuff and just go to show why hard core drugs are bad, as does again with some of the posts on here with some of their posts. You can tell when they get rolling that it just seems like such art in their minds at the time clearly being completely oblivious to the contrary.
i’ve already watched this several times and shared it with several people. It’s like a train wreck that’s inspiring me to start another thread on the worst female singers in front of the biggest crowds. It’s actually impressive how bad she was. We’re talking day one american idol blooper takes. The mCcarty’s should have been sued for that lol. Where did you even find this, lol?! I can’t stop watching it, lol!
just imagine what the other talented musicians around her were thinking at that time. Lol, clearly I’m not making enough money to tie my name to this performance.

Freaking awesome. I’d say her and janis joplin two best for rock and roll.
Ya talent wise, not sure who can compete. Not a lot out there to compare her to.
These names are tough to beat. They’ll always be around and inspire. That music is like a time machine that really takes you to you a different time and place in this country. Very sareal. Most definitely innovative.
Surprised aretha didn’t get more shout outs. To your point 20’s and 30’s she really left a stylistic impression that nobody can really compete with. When she sings you know it’s her and EVERYONE likes it. Huge range too that she never really got credit for. Not going to lie, she also had a lot of talent around too that didn’t hurt.
I remember Stern use to play this and get tons of mileage on his show with it. That was first time I’d ever heard it. When she died, Howard quipped, Paul probably out having a juicy steak right now.
Agree with your take on Nicks but Tina Turner Is widely referred to as the "Queen of Rock *n* Roll!
I saw Fleetwood Mac when they played Blues and R&R. Ever since girls joined they’ve been a borderline POP Band.
Aretha, in my opinion, tarnished her reputation by singing well past her prime. For me, it was difficult listening to her sing in her fifties and beyond. Her earlier voice was very special.
