So, statistically, something should have come up voiced by a female.
Just as stations that play "50s music" just play the youngsters' Rock, Elvis, Doo-Wop and Blues, and omit top selling non-Rock acts like Percy Faith Orchestra, Pat Boone, Dean Martin and Rosemary Clooney, "70's Rock stations" omit '70s hits that weren't straight up rock. Heck, "You Light Up My Life" is pretty much a Waltz with an orchestral arrangement! The Carpenters are a PURE Easy Listening/Adult Contemporary play, as are the Streisand, Peaches & Herb and Roberta Flack tunes. "Donna Summers and Gloruia Gaynor's "I Will Survive" are straight Disco. "Tie a Yellow Ribbon","Love Will Keep Us Together" and "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" are straight "pop" plays and don't fit the oeuvre of a station that plays Springsteen and Led Zeppelin.

Understood. My point was that there are 8,760 hours in a year and based on the list I posted, there is a ~70% chance of not hearing a female voice. It's improbable, but not impossible to imagine one hour of female-less music popping up in a year. Candidly, if I was dining with a friend like this (!) and she was obviously more focused on useless minutiae, I'd consider it a personal affront and, under the guise of gender equity, make her pay the bill.
For what it's worth, I would be peferecly happy if they played Barracuda over Stairway for the rest of my life. Or to keep the male/female ratio fixed, consider this substitute...
