You got such a sick label.

I don't really like her voice.

- i'm trying to like her because Victor seems to have her so highly rated but I just can't. Because the Night is my favourite though...

SarcasticRat,

Love the pick. Was thinking you should have taken her when you took PJ since she's more influential and important and stuff. But yeah, none of these mopes know about her apparently so it ended up not mattering.

The Edge is definitely a reason Bono wasn't top ten like Clark I think was mentioning.

He rocks for sure.

Spoiler:

Patti Smith

For the past year or so, my primary musical obsession has been chick rock. Chances are if a band has a woman who plays guitar and/or sings, I have listened to them (and probably enjoyed them). And I think the primary origin of most of that music is Patti Smith, and her debut album Horses. Listening to it is kind of like hearing the very beginning of tons of music I listen to today.

Patti can easily be considered one of the most influential musicians of all time, and not just on women trying to become punk rockers. Michael Stipe of REM (and my label) says that listening to Horses ""tore my limbs off and put them back on in a whole different order" and that listening to it is what made him to decide a band. Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth also lists her as one of his main influences. Of course, Patti's Horses is also considered one of the very first punk rock albums, and she had a large influence on the NYC punk scene.

Patti no doubt inspires some haters, mostly because she can be pretentious (she is punk's poet laureate after all) and take herself too seriously. I think her influence is also more felt by people within the music industry than people outside of it, which is why there was some debate when she was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. However, I think her influence on lots of artists -- especially those on my label -- can't really be denied, and I think she'll be a strong contributor.

Rolling Stone named Patti Smith the 47th greatest artist of all time in 2004, and UNDRAFTED SCOTTISH HOTTIE wrote a cool, heartfelt essay about Patti and how she influenced her. It's kind of corny, but I like it:

Anyways, this write-up is already going on too long so I'll just link some songs:

Free Money
Because the Night (lol sellout)
Birdland
Redondo Beach
Rock and Roll ****** (uh... nsfw)
People Have the Power

Rat Studios:
Kurt Cobain
David Bowie
David Byrne
Iggy Pop
Elvis Costello
Joey Ramone
Michael Stipe
PJ Harvey
Thurston Moore
Patti Smith

Very good pick. This has to be the most cohesive studio so far and it doesn't seem like you've given up anything valuewise to achieve that so really nice job. Patti Smith fits right in and seems like good value as well.

You say you couldn't think of anyone else? I'm sure you'll think of someone.

I'll be curious to see who you come up with, for sure there are plenty to choose from who would fit right in.

Gloria is such an amazing song, you definitely picked the right link for your first spoiler.

Edge will do wonders for Bon Jovi's sound...but really, such a good pick. The guy created a new sound and is why I also argued that Bono possibly went too high.

Love the Norah Jones pick, aside from being hot, she has such a unique voice, and has been one of the few that has made the jazz sound accessible to younger generations (although she's also incorporating country influences into newer material).

It's a cover, but it may be the best showcase of her voice.

Here's a vote for Live Forever as Oasis' best song, and I can't believe no one mentioned Acquiesce.

Norah Jones is unbelievable value. Seeing her on Sunday here in Vegas. She's a baby and is already a legend.
