 | Despite Our Differences by Indigo Girls
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $5.31 This is the most recent album from lesbian music legends the Indigo Girls. They bring a fresh, new sound to this one with politically charged lyrics like in the album opener "Pendulum Swinger." Different from their older stuff, but just as good, if not better.

 | Indigo Girls by Indigo Girls
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.99 This is the classic Indigo Girls CD that everyone should own. It's one you can sing along with from beginning to end and contains such classics as "Closer to Fine." Great music for driving in your car or cleaning house.

 | 1200 Curfews by Indigo Girls
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $1.75 This one is a great collection of some of their best songs.
|
 | Little Plastic Castle by Ani Difranco
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $2.32 This is perhaps my favorite CD of the more than 300 that I own. She's not afraid to express exactly how she feels in her songs and does it in a unique, funky way that sticks with you.
|
 | Dilate by Ani DiFranco
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $1.00 "Untouchable Face" and "Superhero" are two of the exceptional songs on this album. This whole CD is full of empowering lyrics that make you want to say "damn right, girl!"
|
 | Relish by Joan Osborne
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $0.01 Whether or not you liked "One of Us," the song of late 90's radio fame, the rest of this cd is really, really good. "Spider Web" is one of my favorite tracks and "Let's Just Get Naked" is a good one too.
|
 | Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Buy new: $9.97 / Used from: $0.87 Her lyrics can seem a little bizarre at first, but once you let them sink in they are really meaningful. This is my favorite of her cd's-- there's not a bad track on it, though "Happy Phantom" is my favorite.
|
 | Under the Pink by Tori Amos
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $0.01 Another excellent album. "Cornflake Girl" and "Cloud On My Tongue," as well as "Icicle" are great tracks.
|
 | When The Pawn... by Fiona Apple
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $1.37 I LOVE THIS ALBUM. It is by far her best work, I believe. "Limp" is a great song, as well as "Paper Bag." This album has great flow from one song to another without getting repetitive and is laced with just enough emotion to make it good without being melodramatic.
|
 | Extraordinary Machine by Fiona Apple
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.96 Her most recent CD is a little more modernized and it works well for her. The lyrics of the album, especially in songs like the title track "Extraordinay Machine" are fabulously empowering.
|
 | Court and Spark by Joni Mitchell
Buy new: $8.97 / Used from: $4.73 One cannot talk about women in music without mentioning Joni Mitchell. Many of her albums seem to tell a story as they flow from song to song, and this is one of them.
|
 | Blue by Joni Mitchell
Buy new: $8.97 / Used from: $4.94 Another beautiful piece of art from one of the founders of good chick music. Another album with a "story" and great flow.
|
 | Hits by Joni Mitchell
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $5.45 Several of her best songs compiled.
|
 | Janis Joplin - Greatest Hits by Janis Joplin
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $1.98 Chick rock doesn't get any better than Janis Joplin.
|
 | Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $0.01 Classic 90's chick rock that hearkens me back to high school days spent fighting with my parents, haha. It's a good soundtrack for a bad day or a fight with a boyfriend.
|
 | So-Called Chaos by Alanis Morissette
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $0.71 Her lyrics and music have really matured in the time between her debut and the release of this album. It's more sophisticated than some of her older work but is still rife with her classic razor-sharp lyrical style.
|
 | The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill
Buy new: $49.99 / Used from: $9.40 Whether or not you like rap, if you are female you must own this album. That's all I can say.
