Joni Mitchell?! Your only female vocalist is Joni Mitchell? Her only good song was "Twisted", and that was an old jazz standard. Why her?? The horror, the horror...

Edit: She had other good songs. But to have her as the only female vocalist on the list implies she was the greatest female vocalist of the century. Puhleeze.
