Don't forget Carole King at #7 and Chrissie Hynde #63.
The fact that Madonna is #5 female yet #56 overall says a lot about how terribly ignored women still are by critics Lots of women they could've included... Tracy Chapman? Fiona Apple? Debbie Harry? Kate Bush? Lauryn Hill? Just off the top of my head.
That being said... you can all can stop mentioning Mariah in this thread. I've literally never seen her recognized as some notable songwriter anywhere except ATRL
Some predictably Rolling Stone-y choices here, but not bad. Well done to Madge of course, the sheer volume of great work she has delivered while being the only constant throughout seems to finally have convinced people of her status as a songwriter.
Mess @ people bringing up Mariah, one of the most banal and saccharine writers in pop history. Bye.
