We think the music special The Top 100 Female Artists of the Rock Era* will live up to the hype. You may agree or disagree with the rankings, but what's important is that the special honors The Top 100 Female Artists* like no one has before. You will be astounded by the achievements and reminded by the life's work of these great women.
Remember that the special considers only an artist's achievement under each name that they record under. To be eligible, the artist must either be a solo performer, or a member of an all-female group (No males allowed!). Thus, Cher's work with Sonny and Stevie Nicks' work with Fleetwood Mac, for example, do not count in the copyrighted* formula that determines the rankings. As we will point out often during the special, additional work outside of their solo career is best awarded in the special The Top 100 Women in Rock*, which Inside The Rock Era will also produce in the future.
As hard as it is to believe in 2013, there was a time in the Rock Era when women were not given a great deal of respect, certainly as artists in control of their own career. That has changed radically, with women writing their own songs, playing their own instruments, producing their own albums, etc. As women have taken charge of their own careers, they have been a dominant force in the industry, and many of The Top 100 Female Artists* are from the last 10-20 years.
They have amazing stories, and even more amazing music. You won't want to miss it--The Top 100 Female Artists of the Rock Era* kicks off next Thursday, November 21 on Inside The Rock Era!
