Miriah with sales is the closest on the women's side to the Beatles or Elvis.
As a women's group, the recently split Destiny's Child had the most sales of all females groups ever I believe.

Lots of folks around these parts were HUGE fans of "Passion Play". Ian Anderson rules!
Madonna at #6 and Hendrix at #16?
No Freakin way....
"Before We Were So Rudely Interrupted". Exactly the album I was talking about with Baby Blue on it. That is one great album. Pretty much unknown but GREAT!
You are a tuned-in dude!
People tell me Todd is a musical genius. And yet the only thing I've ever heard was Hello its Me. Sounds like something Bread would sing. ;o)

Even a feller of your age sees through that one!!
I still get chills listening to Wondering Aloud from Aqualung.
"Its alright, Ma" was a huge song on the "Easy Rider" soundtrack. One of his best. Excellent lyrics!
...voices echo this is what salvation must be like after awhile...
...the ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face...
You just don't get word pictures like that in pop song lyrics.
Don't think I've ever seen anyone bring it up on one of these threads before.
The flute on "With You There to Help Me" knocks me out!
I think a "Hottest pop singer" thread is due!!!!
Never liked MaDonna and Hendrix is freakin classic.....
Sales wise, those girls wiped Madonna out, and if you are going to call Madonna rock, then these 4 women are acid rock. LOL
Scott says is a huge Dylan fan. One of the biggest. Knows him inside and out.
I am a shameless Tull fan...who else has put out that many great albums over that many years? The run they had in the late 70's is just amazing...Ian Anderson may one day be seen as this era's Mozart. Their albums continued to be outstanding even into the new century.
Even in his less "sophisticated" songs the lyrics are awesome.
I see you got your brand new leopard skin pillbox hat
You must tell me how your head feels under something like that
Your brand new leopard skin pillbox hat
And Locomotive Breath still makes me go 20 over the speed limit.
Yeah, they may not be someone's taste, but it is hard for anyone to deny their influence on all the music that followed. Even rap. The Beastie Boys used several beats from Zep for License to Ill and several other rappers have used them since.
Yes he is. Kudos for recognizing it.
