Going a bit more modern, let's turn to solo female singer-songwriters of the late-20th / early- 21st century. Which artist do YOU like best?
Alanis Morissette
(Some of her biggest hits include: "Hand in My Pocket," "Ironic," "You Learn," "Head Over Feet," and "Thank U." To refreshen your memory regarding these or any of Ms. Morissette's other hits, click here to see a "greatest hits" compilation complete with song samples.)
or
Sheryl Crow
(Some of her biggest hits include: "All I Wanna Do," "Strong Enough," "If It Makes You Happy," "Everyday is a Winding Road," and "Soak Up the Sun." To refreshen your memory regarding these or any of Ms. Crow's other hits, click here to see a "greatest hits" compilation complete with song samples.)

Even though I like a decent amount of Sheryl Crow's material, I have to agree with Khrystine's remark that her remakes are abysmal. She may deserve the death penalty based on her rendition of Led Zeppelin's "D'Yer Mak'er" alone. But that's not the only reason I give the nod to Alanis Morissette, which, for the record, is where my final vote lies. Again, like other opinions expressed here, I found Morissette rather agitating at first, but I've since come to like her music quite well. Her last couple of studio albums have only been so-so, but her first three studio albums are all gems in their own right. I could definitely keep Morissette's CDs in more constant rotation in my CD player than Crowe's. Thanks to Canada for producing yet another quality musician!

I think that Morrisette is the better of the two artists. I will shyly admit that I like Cheryl Crow... but it seems like I'm not supposed to. But Alanis is higher quality. When I first heard her, I HATED her. But, she grew on me and now I actually kinda like her.
I agree with Joanna. Hated Morissette at first but she grew on me. I can't think of anything even lukewarm good about Sheryl Crow -- (YAWN, she's so dull).
Alanis Morisette hands down. Sheryl Crow's remakes suck. I hate them. She seems cocky about them too-like she's some big rock star, but she's quite poppy. It bugs me.
Hello...hello? Missed blogging (and reading blogs) too much to stay away. So, I'm checking in with all my old favorites to see what's up. It appears school and the little one have taken over time-wise and by god we'll never know who the better songstress is...
Hope all is well.
