	Great list and Great quiz! :)

	JayO:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 17:08 GMT		5 points
	Not arguing with the list, but I'm surprised TLC isn't on here!

	sharpdale:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 19:15 GMT		4 points
	Better than average list for VH-1, but still a lot of exclusions, as well as inclusions that shouldn't be. I'm a bit incredulous that Petula Clark, The Three Degrees and Helen Reddy aren't here (how does the creator of the all-time women's anthem not make the list?), and I think I'd also add Bonnie Bramlett, Karla Bonoff, Suzanne Vega and the always underappreciated Martha Wash. Given a little more time, I'd figure out who to cut to make room.

	sharpdale:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 19:19 GMT		2 points
	Okay, one correction: I missed Petula Clark, on the list but way too far down at no. 85 (a must for the top 30). While I'm at it, I'd cut Sheila E., Erykah Badu and Kim Gordon, and I'd combine Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie into one entry for Fleetwood Mac (I'd argue that neither had a really influential solo career, even if Nicks had a lot of hits).

	Alex951998:	Feb 21st, 2012 at 22:40 GMT		2 points
	@sharpdale: I honestly didn't understand why they couldn't have Fleetwood Mac as one entry given they did this with other bands of 2+ members (Hole, Mamas & The Papas, etc.), but I did the list the way VH1 did it. I have much less qualms with this list than VH1's supposedly "updated" list.

	@Alex: Great quiz. Couple of minor suggestions. Move the * & ^ symbols to the Place field, and rename that column "#" to give it the minimum width. For women within bands, I'd display the band name in brackets, although not allow it as an alternate answer. So instead on Stevie Nicks/Nicks, the answer would read Stevie Nicks (Fleetwood Mac)/ Stevie Nicks / Nicks. For band with multiple women, you might want to go the other way: Heart (Ann & Nancy Wilson). k d lang always put her name in lowercase, and you have it capitalized. Accept Martha Reeves or Reeves for Martha & the Vandellas. Sade is a band - Sade Adu is the vocalist - so #66 should indicate a band.

	One last note, the question refers to the greatest women in rock & roll, but most of these ladies aren't rockers - there's lots of soul, country and pre-rock era vocalists. "Greatest women in music" makes more sense.

	@rockgolf, I'll see what I can do :D

	amishmime:	Feb 26th, 2012 at 00:05 GMT		1 point
	Man.. Yoko Ono? Really?

	CrimsonE:	Feb 26th, 2012 at 00:14 GMT		8 points
	A fun game, but I'd have Sade as its own name because I don't believe she performed under her full name.

	Beano73:	Feb 26th, 2012 at 00:28 GMT		2 points
	I agree re: Sade - as far as I was aware, this was the name of the vocalist alone and not any reference to a band?

	barnztormre:	Feb 26th, 2012 at 14:12 GMT		1 point
	Also, I'd drop the hyphen requirement for Salt-N-Pepa.

	shakirafan:	Feb 26th, 2012 at 14:14 GMT		3 points
	As far as I recollect from my 1980s disc-jockey days, Sade was just "Sade", not a band, just a singer. All her discs were released in the U.S. as by simply "Sade", so at the very least, that alone should be acceptable as an answer. And, for clarification, her given name was not simply "Sade Adu", but rather Helen Folasade Adu. In all probability, it is doubtful that even one person in a thousand who knows of Sade would also know her last name was Adu!

	rockgolf:	Feb 26th, 2012 at 17:19 GMT		2 points
	Probably the best way to handle Sade is accept the band name but put her name in parentheses.

	Alex951998:	Feb 26th, 2012 at 18:45 GMT		2 points
	OK, fair enough. I originally thought that Sade was her stage name, not a band name. Since she was the only female member of her self-titled band, I made it to only accept the person, but I suppose to avoid further confusion, I'll change it back to accepting Sade only.

	Whitney Houston at #61?? Really?

	Yay, Chrissie Hynde made the top ten! So glad to see her, Annie Lennox, Pat Benatar, and Siouxsie Sioux recognized on this list.
