Chick Songs

Recommended Posts

What's everyone's fave chick song?

 

Mine would be:

 

Madonna - Crazy For You

 

Sinead O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U

 

Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse Of The Heart

I don't think I'm too clear on the subject, so I'll just assume a song with a female vocalist.

 

I'm not sure. Probably White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane, although Arch Enemy makes a strong case. I need to hear more of both bands, even if they're completely different from one another.

I'm assuming that he means the musical equivalent of a chick flick - any sappy love ballad sung by a female, in which case I'd go with Coco Lee's version of "To Love You More"

Connie Dover - "I'm Going To the West"

I'm so digging her, thanks to my Journalism teacher :headbang:

 

Alanis Morissette - "You Oughtta Know"

Come on...Canadian gal comes onto the scene with this great "tortured no more cuz I'm pissed off" song B-)

I could name Alanis Morissette songs for a long time.

 

Fiona Apple's "Get Gone" is good stuff, too.

I prefer "Fast As You Can" and "Paper Bag" to "Criminal", but that's just a matter of taste.

 

Uhm, oh yeah, a song. Once again, I'll go with a Julie Doiron track... "In This Dark". It's not sappy or anything, but it's a sweet song.

 

Erykah Badu has done some good "chick stuff" too, I think.

You're both wrong on the Fiona Apple count, as "The Way Things Are" is clearly the best song on her second album. "Criminal" and "Sleep To Dream" are also most excellent, although I don't know if any of the songs I've mentioned classify as "chick songs." A truly excellent chick song, and stop me if I'm beginning to sound like a broken record, would be Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U"--one of Kinetic's favorite love songs of the 90s.

Kinetic's Taste > Everyone Else's Here Bar Me

 

We must all embrace Nothing Compares 2 U love, it is the best song of the last fifteen years, in my opinion (and really, do any others count?)

Yes Sinead O Connors Nothing Compares To You is a great tune (Didn't Prince Write it - If so well done you little purple git)

 

I agree with Total Eclipse of The Heart Aswell - great tune.

 

I'll add Joan Armatrading - Love And Affection.

Prince did write it, and he sang it with someone...

 

Can't think of her name, right now. I have the MP3 floating around somewhere.

Oh come on.

 

How can this go so long without mentioning Crash and Burn from Sheryl Crow?

 

And get some Joan Jett while you're at it, too, buncha yutzes.

Sheryl Crow's a third rate Lucinda Williams, no female artist has written more great songs for every kind of emotion than she has in the last dozen years or so. 'Blue' off the "Essence" album is the prettiest and saddest song I've heard in years. Neko Case and Mary Gautier are both great artists as well. Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch probably have the best and most distinctive voices female voices around, Ruth Minnikin always sounds perfect whenever she sings for either The Heavy Blinkers or The Guthries as well.

Who cares what rate of whoever she is - I'm talking about one song. Crash and Burn is a great fucking song, boss.

Speaking of Sarah MacLachlan, I just heard a cover of Possession done by Type O Negative...

 

It was different. I'll just say that. I liked it..but it was...different.
