Artists who made damn great music many of them continue to do so to this day.Ī quick note: we don't feel completely comfortable 'ranking' such amazing artists. Artists who changed lives, who inspired people of all genders and musical persuasions. Here we have a list of 50 women who blazed a trail through the 90s. No matter what kinda music you were into, there were women making it with just as much class, passion and skill as their male counterparts. There was the movement of hip hop and R&B stars who set fire to the worn-out script of misogyny and objectification that had pervaded their scene in its beginnings. There were the women who took grunge and injected their own sense of vitriol and disaffectedness to make something as primal and spirited as their male counterparts. There was the riot grrrl movement that sought to shake up gender roles, not just for musicians, but for an audience as well. Women were rarely glorified in the same way as their male counterparts, but that's not to say they weren't there. The 90s was not all that long ago, but the disparity of female involvement in the biggest acts of that decade, compared to men, is shocking. Look at the data and you'll learn that music is still a male-dominated affair. The women who made a difference in the music world through the 90s.
