... Sheryl Crow ... [is] bad cheating. They're all solo artists - and there's already a thread for women who rock.
Make no mistake, Foxy, that I considered the concept of Sheryl Crow as a solo artist before including her on my list. But there are solo artists, and then there are solo artists, ya dig? *tokes* You see, some solo artists are solo, and others merely maintain the illusion of autonomy. *tokes*
Regina Spektor could do her gig tonight without a sole upon the stage, save herself and her piano (which in this sentence appears to have been personified). She's even been known to play solo electric guitar at her shows (like Neil Young). That's a fruckin' solo artist. Sheryl Crow ain't a solo artist... Sheryl Crow is a band that isn't allowed to think of itself as a band.
Actually, Sheryl Crow could probably do a solo show, too. Maybe she even DOES solo shows, I don't know. But if she did, I wouldn't wanna watch her. I'm all about the band.
Cat Power and Alanis Morissette are "solo artists" too so I'm wondering if you even READ my post.
