When the dust settles, Joni Mitchell may stand as the most important and influential female recording artist of the late 20th century.

Sinéad O'Connor ranked among the most distinctive and controversial pop music stars of the 1990s, the first and in many ways the most influential of the numerous female performers whose music dominated airwaves throughout the decade.

Like Lori Carson, Stina Nordenstam has spent a fair amount of her career shedding comparisons to Rickie Lee Jones. Though a little similar, the majority of Nordenstam's work is more fragile -- delicate enough to be knocked over by the slightest of breezes.
