So prolific, so unique, and always evocative.

I love Joan Armatrading. That mix of folk/soul she played, is something many have drawn influence from since. Love & Affection is one of the purest vocals of the '70s. Having said that, realistically she'll probably never even be nominated for the RRHOF.

Joan Armatrading is a great songwriter.
Her songs go right to the heart.
Many beautiful melodies.
Stirring performances.
A unique voice.

Joan is one of the finest singer songwriters this world has to offer. The RRHOF is an old white boys club. They totally don't get it.

I love Joan Armatrading. Her music is always superb. I don't think she stands a chance for a rock hall induction because she's not a huge name in America.

She should definitely be inducted – hugely talented singer-songwriter; very good guitarist, too. (Heart says: "Yes – without question!")

But... will she ever be inducted? Ah, that's another thing entirely. It seems like a long-shot... but Kate Bush – my favourite singer-songwriter of all time – has finally been acknowledged; so, I hope that Joan will be too. (Head says: "I think it's only a possibility – maybe 20% – within the next 20 years.")

Joan Arbatrading is one of the finest female songwriters and guitarists of all times. She has received many awards in her home country of England and has a strong following in the US. She is absolutely amazing, was ahead of her time and continues to produce songs that speak to your soul from her words and music.
