Funny enough, I was just thinking about this this morning.
I think the 2010s is arguably the strongest decade for women (at least as far as dominating the decade with solid RELEASED music)... emphasizing released music because, well the reality is fantastic female artists were there in every decade before, but it feels like 2010s finally tipped the scales a bit more evenly.
I think that'd be a great tournament - greatest female artist releases of the 2010s.
EDIT:
Oh... it looks like this comment has already been made. Oh well. ๐ซข
definitely have to second revolver's rec for this one, my favorite this decade.
Absolutely loving Thad's suggestions - just thought I'd add a few personal faves to the one's that have already been mentioned (Blood Bitch and Caligula)
Not Emotion even Kiss is better than Emotion. I don't want to say much more as I do not like comparing female artists and how they stack up to men as it results in fetishization.
