OK, I'm going to argue that Debbie Harry and Chrissie Hynde are not really singer-songwriters here. They were really the lead singers in bands and unlikely they were the only songwriters.

The title track on Solitude Standing is enough for me to vote for that, the music video is so good, and the song is very cool metricly, intricat musical arrangement.

A nice selection of wonderful artists (e.g. Amos, Collins, McKennitt, McLachlan, Mitchell, Simon)

but for me personally Suzanne Vega's Solitude Standing is the dearest of these.

I can see your point, but Debbie Harry and Chrissie Hynde both sing and co-write their band's songs, so they're both singer/songwriters in my eyes. Smile

I could've featured their lesser-known solo albums in the poll instead, but Chrissie Hynde has only recorded one solo album so far and I doubt if anyone's going to vote for Debbie Harry's Koo-Koo album when there's 24 other choices. Tongue

The poll police strike again!! Don't you both have better things to do than argue about the title of a poll? Did either of you participate? Or did you just spout self-righteous nonsense.

I vote for The Pretenders. And FYI Christine Hynde was the primary song writer for The Pretenders.

Curious as to what your name refers to. Is it your motorcycle? Helicopter? AK-47? Are you a part-time chef and do a lot of chopping? Or that you enjoy chopping up members posts? Wink

Since you asked, it's actually an ironic nickname given to me by a colleague in our work football team, mainly for my complete inability to get near enough to anyone to carry out a Ron "Chopper" Harris-style tackle.

And as I discovered after joining PA it's also a cartoon dog - https://hanna-barbera.fandom.com/wiki/Chopper_%28dog%29" rel="nofollow - Chopper (dog) | Hanna-Barbera Wiki | Fandom

a very cool video, the song offers true example of economic playing, virtous without flash, constricted virtous, i love to listen to all the instruments in this song they each bring an intricate seem patteren into this splendid "mess", might be a strange song to the untrained ear. Also love her talk-singing, calm and unstressed vocals

Carole King Tapestry is like second all-time to Pink Floyd DSotM for chart time (in the US)! Besides that, it's just an amazing collection of amazing songs.

I was expecting Carole King to win this poll, but at the moment, Suzanne Vega is Standing in Solitude in first place with three votes. Smile

It's all change in the Male version of this poll, but there ain't no changes here. Well, apart from Joan Armatrading being swapped for Melanie, obviously. Smile

Ann & Nancy Wilson (Heart) - Magazine isn't a real album. Just a unauthoized collection of unfinished songs and live stuff from put out by the record company they had left.

Tapestry is mostly really good, but as an album experience I prefer both Fantasy (in particular) and Music over it.

Going with Benatar. Her early stuff is primo.

Tapestry - almost perfection for a singer-songwriter album (regardless of gender).
