(4.00 out of 5)
Inspired by the BBC’s series, “Queens of British Pop”, here is a playlist featuring all the talented ladies featured in the show. Where possible, I have tried to include their best known songs and a few others too. If the ladies were part of a band as well as a solo artist, I have tried to cover both sides of their career. Whilst music is very subjective, and we all have wildly varying tastes, I’m sure you’ll agree that these fine ladies sure know how to sing :o)
Enjoy the list, and don’t forget to rate and leave comments :o)

Thanks “Dave”, but had you watched the BBC show that inspired that list, you’d konw that Elkie brooks wasn’t featured, hence her omission.

Again, Robbie, Lynsey De Paul was not featured in the show, therefore didn’t make the playlist.
Inspired by the BBC’s series, “Queens of British Pop”, here is a playlist featuring all the talented ladies featured in the show. Where possible, I have tried to include their best known songs and a few others too. If the ladies were part of a band as well as a solo artist, I have tried to cover both sides of their career.
