Fever Ray - Fever Ray (My personal favourite. I never really thought of it as a 'female album' before, I guess because it's so abstract.)
Carole King - Tapestry
PJ Harvey - Rid Of Me
Janelle Monae - The Archandroid
Missy Higgins - The Sound of White
Bjork - Homogenic/Vespertine

It's a very grey area between a female solo artist and a front-woman in a band when there are other musicians contributing to the music. How would one make the distinction?

Nicole Atkins - Neptune City
Garbage - Garbage

I know those two might not be in many people's top 50, but they'd probably be in mine.

I saw someone posted Blondie, so... I don't know if we're going for solo artists or bands with female singers, but some others to consider might be:

No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom (maybe even Gwen's solo debut?)
Christina Aguilera - self-titled and Back to Basics
Rilo Kiley - More Adventurous is the only one I have, but I've heard Takeoffs and Landings and The Execution of All Things are really good, too.
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

I'm making a chart for the top 50 best female albums. I've found 40 so far that make the list (PJ Harvey barely makes it on; Joni doesn't), but I need another ten. Any suggestions?
