Coolest Ladies of the 80's

[avoidfreud]

So i've been compiling a list of my favourite female singers of the 80's. Who would you add to this list?

10,000 Maniacs (link for \"My Mother The War\")
http://www.zshare.net/audio/6212770466d6ab/
* a cool early track from the Maniacs*

Cocteau Twins (link for \"Crushed\")
http://www.zshare.net/audio/6213455464acac/
*absolutely sublime*

Cowboy Junkies (link for \"Blue Moon Revisited\")
http://www.zshare.net/audio/62128711f9a9be/
*does anyone sing more seductively than Margo Timmins?*

Dalbello (link for \"Gonna Get Close To You\")
http://www.zshare.net/audio/6198615e49875e/
*as Carole Pope once said: \"When you think eyebrows...and you will!\"

Debbie Harry (link for \"Liar Liar\")
http://www.zshare.net/audio/61983649381b86/
*cool cover from the \"Married To The Mob\" soundtrack*

Eurythmic (link for \"Savage\")
http://www.zshare.net/audio/621298244fc03e/
*this is Annie at her best*

Everything But The Girl (link for \"English Rose\")
http://www.zshare.net/audio/62130250c4a590/
*if you're a fan of The Jam check out this amazing cover - if you're not familiar with early EBTG it's some of their best work*

Grace Jones (link for \"The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game\")
http://www.zshare.net/audio/6198285502dbd5/

http://www.zshare.net/audio/62131128020c9d/
*if you only know Kirsty from \"New England\" and \"Fairytale of New York\" you really need to delve deeper into her catalogue - sheer genius and tragic that she is no longer with us*

Laurie Anderson (link for \"Sharkey's Day\")
http://www.zshare.net/audio/6198406e95fe0a/

Parachute Club (link for \"Boys Club\")
http://www.zshare.net/audio/61985248d85b8b/

Phranc (link for \"Everywhere I Go I Hear The Go Go's\")

*love this track from \"Extended Play\" from one of the greatest singers period*

Rough Trade (link for \"Deca-Dance\")

*Canada's original trailblazers - \"Piss on your conditioning!\" she screams. Anything you say Ms. Pope!*

Sinead O'Connor (link for \"Mandinka\")
http://www.zshare.net/audio/6198436ff4b8a3/
*still my favourite Sinead song after all these years*

Coincidentally I heard "Duel" yesterday for the first time in years...I recognized it immediately but couldn't have told you who sang it before that.

Cool.
