What is the Greatest Album Ever by a Woman? – Survey of the Day

Throughout the history of popular music there have been  a ton of women who rocked, and Rolling Stone recently made a list of “Women Who Rock: The 50 Greatest Albums of All Time.” If you had to pick one album by a woman to take on the deserted island with you while you waited to be rescued, what would it be?

Aretha Franklin leads Rolling Stone's newly-released list: "Women Who Rock: The 50 Greatest Albums of All Time." The 70-year-old singer landed at No. 1 with her 1967 album "I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You."

Joni Mitchell's classic 1971 album, "Blue," came in second, followed by British singer Dusty Springfield's 1969 set "Dusty In Memphis."

Rounding out the top five were Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" and Patti Smith's "Horses."

Some younger artists nabbed spots in the top 10, including Adele with "21" and Missy Elliot with her 2002 release "Under Construction."
