Most underrated female recording artists..

I'm always looking for female singers who make my 2 channel system seem worthwhile for all l have spent...the list includes Nora Jones, Diana Krall , Sade and many others.... there are some fabulous singers out there but not recorded very well...lm adding Bonnie Raitt to my top list..The Bonnie Raitt collection red book cd...tracks 16 and 17 are spectacular on my system...  I'f anyone could add a suggestion it would be appreciated..

Some of the names that are being mentioned clearly tells me the majority of you do not know what the word "underrated" means, Kate Bush, Joni, Nina Simone, Linda Ronstadt ?

How about 'Female artist never heard of' I think that's what this has turned into.  Now you audiophiles have heard of many more than the average consumer probably 90% of these lady's mentioned wouldn't be recognized by the majority and some should not be on any list. It's amazing how we all have different opinions on what we like.

One that I just started listening to but has been around for a while is Katie Melua, check out her Acoustic Album No. 8. It sounds amazing streaming in hi res.

You presume popularity and artistic merit are one and the same.
