sayit rated 4 weeks ago- timeless - luv joni! 'many musicians have found inspiration in her more experimental work, particularly The Hissing of Summer Lawns and Hejira.
- Led Zeppelin's "Going to California" was said to be written about Robert Plant and Jimmy Page's infatuation with Mitchell, a claim that seems to be borne out by the fact that, in live performances, Plant often says "Joni" after the line "To find a queen without a king, they say she plays guitar and cries and sings". Jimmy Page uses a double dropped D guitar tuning similar to the alternative tunings Mitchell uses.
- Sonic Youth song Hey Joni from their Daydream Nation album is named for Mitchell. Sonic Youth also uses a wide variety of alternate guitar tunings. Kim Gordon also producted the 1990 Hole album Pretty On The Inside which featured a cover of Both Sides Now renamed as Clouds. Courtney Love claims her mother used to make her sing the song in front of her friends when they lived in a hippie commune. Love altered the song by adding new lyrics.
- Madonna has cited Mitchell as the first female artist that really spoke to her as a teenager; "I was really, really into Joni Mitchell. I knew every word to Court and Spark; I worshiped her when I was in high school. Blue is amazing. I would have to say of all the women I've heard, she had the most profound effect on me from a lyrical point of view."
- Marie Fredriksson has also cited Joni Mitchell as one of her greatest inspirations. For example fellow Roxette band member Per Gessle has written that the Roxette Album "Pearls of Passion" was a mix of Joni Mitchell and other musicians: "Clarence Öfwerman produced the album and it certainly was a somewhat strange combination; Clarence with his Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush preferences, Marie with her Joni Mitchell and Suzanne Vega-fantasies and me with my candy-coated Blondie collection." Fredriksson had also covered Mitchell's hit For Free. There are rumours that she is working on a new Joni Mitchell tribute album.
- In 2007, Nonesuch Records released A Tribute to Joni Mitchell, a CD featuring Sufjan Stevens, Björk, Caetano Veloso, Brad Mehldau, Cassandra Wilson, Prince, Sarah McLachlan, Annie Lennox, Emmylou Harris, Elvis Costello, k.d. Lang and James Taylor. Some of the recordings were made in the late 1990s when a project entitled 'A Case Of Joni' was developed, although never released. Among those who recorded tracks for the first tribute album, and remain unreleased were Janet Jackson and Sheryl Crow.'
