ATRL Moderator madonnas Posted June 28, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted June 28, 2022 Hello, and welcome to the second installment of the "Makes The Woman" rate, credit to @Ace Reject To refresh, in 1995 Makes the Woman (now gone due to site reset) we celebrated 5 classic solo female artists, with their groundbreaking critically acclaimed, smash hit, and/or cult classic albums. We will continue this trend here, and celebrate 5 amazing albums by a different crop of legends. Without further ado, let me introduce them to you! Sheryl Crow, a hippie queen, known best for her blend of Bubblegum, Folk, Blues, and Rock had already been launched into superstardom due to her 7x platinum debut album, but her self titled Sheryl Crow gave her a large boost in her credibility and gave much-needed depth to her persona, even if it came at the expense of her former bandmates, who had a large falling-out with her before and during recording. Often credited for the 00s Hot Adult Contemporary Radio girls such as Natasha Beddingfield, Sheryl's self titled showcases more depth than a passing music fan might expect. Here is the tracklist for Sheryl Crow: Maybe Angels A Change Would Do You Good Home Sweet Rosalyn If It Makes You Happy Redemption Day Hard to Make a Stand Everyday is a Winding Road Love is a Good Thing Oh Marie Superstar The Book Ordinary Morning If there's one thing Fiona Apple fans are going to let you know about Tidal, its that most of the songs were written when she was 16 and 17. Really though, when you hear the album, you'll get why it's so impressive! The album is her biggest commercial success, giving her her only top 40 hit, and an eternally dedicated fanbase. It's also the era that birthed and immediately solidified herself as a force of authenticity. In spite of what you think of her, she's going to speak her mind, and the music video for Criminal and acceptance speech for Sleep to Dream have a permanent mark on pop culture. Here is the tracklist for Tidal: Sleep to Dream Sullen Girl Shadowboxer Criminal Slow Like Honey The First Taste Never is a Promise The Child is Gone Pale September Carrion Before we were bickering if Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion, or Cardi B is the queen of rap, the self-appointed (accurate, though) Queen of Rap Lil' Kim released her debut album, Hard Core, and changed the game forever for female rap. Was Kim the first sexual female rapper? Was she the first gangster female rapper? No, but she set the template for female rap for, arguably, until the present day. With Hip-Hop hits and crossover pop smashes, this album is considered a hip-hop classic. Here is the tracklist for Hard Core: Intro in A-Minor Big Momma Thang No Time Spend a Little Doe Take It! Crush On You* Drugs Scheamin' Queen Bitch Dreams M.A.F.I.A. Land We Don't Need It Not Tonight Player Haters Fuck You Not Tonight (Ladies Night Remix) Crush On You (Single Version)* *The album version does not feature a verse from Kim, the single version does One of the most prolific artists of her time (and, honestly, still now) is Tori Amos. Boys for Pele is the perfect example of her absolutely insane ambition to write as many songs as possible. At 18 songs, it is possibly her strangest collection of songs, featuring use of the harpsichord, church choirs, and harmoniums, and yet somehow it is still to this date her highest peaking album in the US. Props to her! The shadow of Kate Bush often looms over Tori's career as a often shallow comparison, yet I'm sure even Tori would take people often comparing this album to The Dreaming as one of the highest compliments. Here is the tracklist for Boys for Pele: Beauty Queen / Horses Blood Roses Father Lucifer Professional Widow Mr. Zebra Marianne Caught a Lite sneeze Muhammad My Friend Hey Jupiter Way Down Little Amsterdam Talula Not the Red Baron Agent Orange Doughnut Song In the Springtime of His Voodoo Putting the Damage On Twinkle Finally, we will be rating an album that took almost ten years to finally appear on streaming. An album that reached its billboard peak just a year ago! One in a Million is the late Aaliyah's second album, leaving behind songs written by ... he who must not be named ... she decided to team up with Timbaland and Missy Elliott, and thus solidified her as an icon of the 90s and early 2000s with futuristic beats, and a more mature image. The album, even though it was stolen from steaming from god knows how long remains an eternal classic due to Aaliyah's timeless vocals. Here is the tracklist to One in a Million: Beats 4 Da Streets (Intro) Hot like Fire One in a Million A Girl Like You If Your Girl Only Knew Choosey Lover (Old School / New School) Got to Give It Up 4 Page Letter Everything's Gonna Be Alright Giving You More I Gotcha' Back Never Givin' Up Heartbroken Never Comin' Back Ladies in Da House The One I Gave My Heart To Came to Give Love (Outro) RULES: Rate every song from a scale of 1-10. I will calculate the average of each song based on the score on all participants and reveal them from lowest, to highest, crowning a winner. PM me your rates. You may choose one song to give an 11, and one song to give a 0. Comments are appreciated and will be incorporated, but completely optional. Post in here while I am revealing the results to yell at each other for not agreeing on your favorite songs.

Ok, wait, I don't think I have heard miss Sheryl (my description was pulled out of my ass heehee) but I looked at the tracklist and recognize like 5 songs.
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted June 28, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted June 28, 2022 Icons. Legends. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to drag my fave Aaliyah outside of the singles.

I love a Courtney Love diss...

I hope Choosey Lover and Everythings Gonna Be Alright were singles then Well I kinda wish she split Choosey Lover into two so I could have just her new school version on my playlists

Ewan Chaos Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 I also haven't heard two of these Don't think I've listened to the other three in a good while either, so I'm definitely down. I know the whole album isn't like... adult contemporary car commercial-core sounding but it always made me laugh listening to light breezy Every Day is a Winding Road with that moody ass album cover nn
Reverie Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 Actually I don't remember most of these Fiona songs either so that kinda makes for three albums tbh

But I never understood why this one always shows up for her on critics' lists when self-titled is clearly her magnum opus.
Ger Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 Who were the legends in 1995 edition? Alanis, Mimi, Jewel, who else?

Wyvern Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) PEACE LOVE AND A HARD C*CK I'm in! Edited June 28, 2022 by Wyvern
Bloodflowers. Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 This is gonna be hard I have heard Sheryl, Aaliyah and Fiona albums, I haven't heard Kim and Tori albums in full, the reason for that is because they put Remastered tag and I don't want those tags to ruin my Last.fm... Yeah, I have issues with OCD
Bloodflowers. Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 I have heard other Tori albums in full since they don't have remastered tags (I heard Little Eartquakes via YouTube so I could edit tags )
modern thing Posted June 28, 2022 Posted June 28, 2022 I'm in. I don't know Sheryl at all, so this might be fun. Also I'm here to drag Torn Anus doooown and make sure to support my queens Fiona and Aaliyah
