@mofimadness - thanks for the heads up!

@tylermunns - that's literally the title of the documentary he was recommending.  Personally, I wouldn't eschew any song based on its choice to use gendered words in title or lyrics.  When I sit down to listen, I usually don't stream or go totally random.  I may choose an artist based on gender, type of music, the feel of the music (music that rocked existed long before rock, which itself is predated by rock & roll), the specific instrument or instruments I feel like hearing or not hearing, the label, or other category that may be arbitrary in nature, but methodical in that moment.

I know you're an informed, serious poster.  If a thread is not of interest to you, why waste time stirring the pot?

@tylermunns Thanks for your response.

I guess it's a difference of opinion.  To me, "best" is dumb.  Is Baroque better than Romantic?  Hip Hop better than Jazz?  Tom Waits better than Enrico Caruso?  I don't believe in judging musicians in bpm, and different kinds of music have entirely different goals.

When I'm ready to listen, I probably choose artist or type of music first.  Sometimes I'm going for a sound, though.  It might be blues tuba or Joni Mitchell ... or it could be a woman who rocks.  The interesting thing I find in that topic is whether rocks is limited to rock.  I say no.
