Women get no votes in best 100 songs poll
(chinadaily.com.cn)
Updated: 2009-07-14 11:06 An Australian vote for the 100 best songs of all time has showed it's a man's world for music fans Down Under, with not one female artist making the list. More than 500,000 people took part in public broadcaster ABC's online poll, which showed a clear preference for classic rock anthems over pop, dance and hip hop. Seattle grunge outfit Nirvana topped the list with Smells Like Teen Spirit, followed by Rage Against the Machine's Killing in the Name. The recently deceased Michael Jackson had two entries with Thriller at 26 and Billie Jean at 41 in the survey released on Sunday. But Jackson's friend Diana Ross failed to score a nomination, missing out along with Aussie pop superstar Kylie Minogue and even Madonna. The only women represented were female members of groups like The Pixies and Massive Attack. And although the poll was conducted by the ABC's youth network TripleJ, it was dominated by songs from the last millennium. Three Beatles tracks were on the list, led by A Day in the Life at 24, although John Lennon's Imagine made it to number 11.
