#1 Juliana

Juliana Hatfield and the Blake Babies only came to my attention about 6 years ago. But this power pop trio disbanded nearly twenty years ago! They had a song called I'm Not Your Mother that I want you hear, I can't find it on YouTube but here it is at Rhapsody. Girl in a Box was a bigger hit for the Babies and then her solo act the Juliana Hatfield Trio made a splash with the song My Sister.
What I like about Juliana, and the reason she climbed to the top of this list, is her dynamic range. Heavy rock songs and also melodic acoustic songs. She has a beautiful voice that even a McCoy could love.

    I remember My Sister and Spin the Bottle.

    So, where's Janis Joplin, Tanya Donelly, Tori Amos, Carole King, Bjork, Stevie Nicks, Carly Simon, Debbie Harry or even Yoko??
