I think [Lady Gaga]’s got the creative stuff to get the balance right eventually, but meanwhile, we don’t have to rely on Gaga to hold up women’s half of the sky. This year brought new work by the exact cohort of female innovators—Harvey, Bjork, Tori Amos, Kate Bush, and Wild Flag (a supergroup comprising Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein and other post-riot-grrrls)—who godmothered freak-flag-flying sisters tUnE-yArDs, St. Vincent, Planningtorock, the Knife, Dum Dum Girls, Eleanor Friedburger, Best Coast, Lykke Li, Florence and the Machine, et al. This isn’t chart pop yet, but it’s a tidal wave I bet will ripple outward.
