Playlist of the week

It was almost two weeks ago when I came across this article on NPR Vote: Who do you think are the most influential women musicians of the 21st century. I decided to do a riff on this article with a playlist for my blog. To be honest there is not a single artist from the past decade that I would consider influential (to me) so I opted for women who has influenced me from my childhood to the present moment. Creating this playlist was a labor of love. I believe it took me six days to put 150 songs by women who has influenced me with their music.  This was not an easy task but it was a lot of fun to work on. All these songs reflects my taste in music through out the years, the good, the bad, and the cheesy AF :D.

It never ceases to amaze me to see where I started from and where I am now with my taste in music. In my 20s, I used to be a bit embarrassed for liking Vixen but now that I am in my 40s, I am not any more. Their first two albums are fun as hell to listen to. The older I get, the less I give a fuck what other people think about my taste in music. I am damn proud of all the artists who has influenced me and has helped me stay sane in the last year and a half.
