I took a few minutes to make a spreadsheet of Rolling Stones top 100 songwriters of all time. Does this bother anyone else besides me? Look how long the male column is! You can View the spread on Rolling Stone>> Please take a minute to contact them: letters@rollingstone.com (you can see my letter at bottom of page)
What I will email to letters@rollingstone.com- Only 15/100 greatest songwriters of all time are women, half of which have male partners. Can you explain why? Are men better songwriters? Do you think this is fair? Is it a reflection of your methods to determine your list of 100? Do you think it reflects something greater, like opportunities for women in music?
