We're handing out a homework assignment and oh is it a good one

NPR this past summer released the Greatest 150 albums created by women and it is an extensive list. As with any list like this there will be hits and misses on general principle and this particular list does have it's own set of issues for you the reader; Is Wild Planet by the B-52's really an album created by women with the great Fred Schneider being so prevalent? You'll want to have your 'calling bullshit' flag elsewhere on the list as later this week we'll dig into it and this Friday on the Music Series all the cuts will come from this magnificent list.

Learn it. Know it. Live it. Plus there are some really great images like Debbie Harry, Chrissie Hynde and The Slits hanging out and looking forever young.
