Madonna's very first recording from 1980 as part of the New Wave band Emmy (Madonna's nickname at the time) and sounding like a cross between Chrissie Hynde and Debbie Harry. Smile

In the absence of Judy Sill's self-titled debut from 1971, I'll have to vote for Melanie.
Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?

Tracy Chapman. Great album and one of the best of the 80s.

It's nice to know I've inspired you to create your own series of singer/songwriter polls (which I'm looking forward to taking part in) and I'm a fan of Sarah McLachlan too, with almost all of her albums in my CD collection (mainly because they tend to turn up a lot at charity shops and car boot sales). Smile


Maybe two male ones and two female ones.  I was doing a female list and stopped at about 40, all of whom have favourite albums of mine (not including bands).  I then thought I should highlight the contemporary ones with albums releases that I have really loved since 2010, and so the same with males (for artist/singers that number dwindles in my collection for modern ones).  So there will be lots of little  known to PA music.

For those who missed this series of polls the first time around, which also includes Blondie, Heart and the Pretenders, but doesn't include Joan Armatrading, as she's not All the Way from America after all, being from Birmingham, England and not Birmingham, Alabama. Embarrassed

It's a good thing I remembered to include her then. Wink 

I was going to make it an all-American poll to begin with, but that would have excluded  Loreena McKennitt, Sarah McLachlan and Joni. Embarrassed
