Musically, we’re looking at that glorious amalgamation of tradition folk elements (acoustic instruments and vocal styles) with the burgeoning indie-rock scene-or, occasionally, electronic elements applied to folk music. In fact, reading through this list is overwhelmingly nostalgic, as much a time capsule of the writers and editors we’ve worked with these last 15 years as of the musicians who’ve often graced the cover and pages (both paper and virtual) of our magazine since its inception.
In compiling our rankings here, we’ve defined its era as beginning in 1972 with Nick Drake’s seminal Pink Moon, being mostly ignored until the mid-’90s with acts like Elliott Smith and Gillian Welch, and then booming right around the time we launched Paste in 2002. P!nk had previously covered the song during her I'm Not Dead Tour in 2006.No music genre is particularly easy to define, but “indie folk” is about as nebulous as they come. Īlthough the duo have not written together since, they sang Perry's 4 Non Blondes hit " What's Up?" at the Los Angeles LGBT Center for her "An Evening with Women" event in 2010 and at P!nk's " The Power of Pink: An Acoustic Evening with P!nk & Friends" show in 2014. She doesn’t need anybody to fix anything. P!nk and I will always be like falling off a bicycle-we’re gonna get right back on and be fine. Because I know what she can really do.' So, you put 'Linda Perry Says P!nk’s Last Album Was Crappy' as a headline and of course she’s gonna fucking get mad! And I totally understand! But, she and I spoke and we get along great again. Someone had asked me about one of her records, I think it was Try This, and I think they took it out of context, but I said, 'Well, I know what Alecia is capable of, and it’s crap to me. well, she got mad at me, and for good reason. Well, it’s not that we had a broken, it’s just that she and I stopped talking for a few years because. The two later reconciled after Perry took responsibility for the feud, crediting much of it to her criticism of Try This: Perry confirmed that her work with Aguilera and her "righteous behavior" were partially to blame for their falling out. In 2003, Perry had a publicized falling out with P!nk, allegedly a result of P!nk's jealousy after Perry worked with other artists, namely Christina Aguilera, who was thought to be a rival of P!nk's at the time. Additionally, she co-wrote " Waiting for Love" and " Free" with P!nk, Eric Schermerhorn, Paul III, Brian MacLeod, while handling the production herself. " Catch Me While I'm Sleeping," " Try Too Hard," and " Delirium" were all co-written by P!nk and Perry, and produced by the latter (with John Fields assisting with production on "Try Too Hard"). Perry was also credited as a co-writer on P!nk's third studio album, Try This, though some of their collaborations on the album are thought to be cuts from M!ssundaztood. The duo later co-wrote " If You're Gonna Fly Away" for Faith Hill from her 2002 album Cry. She also co-wrote " M!ssundaztood," " Respect," " Dear Diary," " Eventually, " Gone to California," " My Vietnam," and " Catch-22" with P!nk.

Perry took full writing credits for the songs " Get the Party Started" and " Lonely Girl," serving as a featured artist on the latter. Perry was one of P!nk's biggest musical influences growing up, eventually leading to her serving as a mentor and co-writer for P!nk during the making of her second album, M!ssundaztood.
