The most surprising thing is how many female artists arer in the top 200 or 100 way back when. I don't think the BEA top 100 has even one female in it. I don't think there's a female until Joni Mitchell Carole King somewhere a little over number 200.

But in the 70s chart you got everyone from The Ronettes to Janis Joplin to Patti Smith to Diana Ross to Dionne Warwick and a fuck-ton more.

Its only recently that Blue became her most popular album. 20 years ago nobody thought that. It shows how things can change over time

Blue was the only Joni Mitchell album on Rolling Stone's "Top 100 Albums Of The Last 20 Years" list from 1987. Because of that I've always assumed that by the 80s the critics considered it her best album.

It's the 3rd list on this page:

That list turned me on to a few albums, including Astral Weeks and Tonight's the Night.

Yeah. Maybe because in the seventies the other albums were more fresh in people's minds because they were her big selling top 10 albums with big hit singles and shit. So maybe people remembered them more until time went on
