Rush - Moving Pictures The ultimate music smell test for females and music. See what kind of girl we’re dealing with here!

wonderful. as a younger person, I spent a lot of time "staring" at the cover for Hasten Down the Wind.
Dusty Springfield - Dusty in Memphis Honestly would shortlist it for most beautifuly lush recorded albums ever from the absolute zenith of the golden age of record production. Maybe because its kind of a 1 off and she did a bunch of sunny vapid British pop otherwise, it kind of gets lost but it is genuinely special.
Rather than suggest Ella Fitzgerald albums, I will give some songs. The Video and Audio seem a bit out of Synch. You didn't say how old your Daughter is, so just letting you know that some people use the Song title as a slang sexual reference.
Not mentioned previously… Patti Smith - Horses Tom Tom Club Kate Bush - Wuthering Heights X - Under the Big Black Sun
The Cranberries - No Need to Argue Natalie Merchant - Tiger Lilly Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels on a Gravel Road Michelle Shocked - Short Sharp Shocked
Dusty's brother Tom worked quite a bit with The Seekers. Some of their songs that he was involved with.
PJ Harvey - Rid of Me Her early stuff went hard before she was subsumed by the industry. My favorite was actually 4 Track Demos, but it is literally her demos and is super rough. Also, not really my personal favorite, but Amy Winehouse - Back to Black belongs in there somewhere and might be a better bridge to someone with more modern sensabilities
I tried to stay away from compilation albums, but will do that for Shirley Bassey Shirley Bassey Shirley Bassey Singles The Shirley Bassey Collection
Roberta Flack had multiple hits, but not so much together on one album. Maybe focus on her hits rather than her albums. Roberta Flack First Take Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway Killing Me Softly
