Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

Hiroko Nagai of Pageant should DEFINITELY be in the poll. She's who I'd vote for above the other choices... |
I agree with this opinion.
Also Jane Duboc, Donella Del Monaco, Jacqueline Darby, Catherine Ribeiro, Annisette, Sera Junko, Mitose Noriko, Jerney Kaagman, etc are great female singers.

I agree, it's a shame that Kate Bush isn't there...
And I would say Sandy Denny too... Listen for instance to the songs with Strawbs... they're great.
And Yvonne Ellimann, Mary Magdalene in Jesus Christ Superstar (and co-singer in Clapton's Slowhand)

Oh, what a voice in Mary is that!!
" I don't know how to take this
I don't see why he moves me
He's a man he's just a man
And I've had so many men before in very many ways
He's just one more
Should I bring him down should I scream and shout
Should I speak of love let my feelings out
I never thought I'd come to this - what's it all about"

Listen to Turkish psych/prog; you won't regret:
Baris Manco,Erkin Koray,Cem Karaca,Mogollar,3 Hürel,Selda,Edip Akbayram,Fikret Kizilok,Ersen (and Dadaslar) (but stick with the '70's, and 'early 80's!)

From the list ANNIE HASLAM... my personal taste DIAMANDA GALAS (not so prog but what a f****** voice!!!) and of course SARA TRONDÄL (former White Willow), MAGGIE REILLY (Mike Oldfield) and the great ARLETTE JECQUIER (Fulano, Mediabanda)...

shame to not see Renate Knaup-Krotenschwanz included

I also checked the previous pages to find other overlooked names, but alas:
- Stella Vander - Magma (though she doesn't sing solo as far as I know)
- Rosi Mueller (of Ash Ra Tempel fame... she's just amazing in the album where herself is "Starring")
- Gille Letman (where she sings along with the former in the Cosmic Jokers albums... I don't discriminate her voice, though)
out of the list, I only recognise Renaissance and Curved Air singers, so I better not vote.
btw, what's the fuss about Kate Bush?!?!? OK, her voice is fine, but as far as I have given my ear, there's nothing so proggy in her solo works. She's under "prog-related" category, anyway... the strongest relation of her to prog is where she backs up Peter Gabriel IMHO...
as for prog-singing, I think Renate would beat 'em all, because as much as Haslam's and Kristina's voices are strong, they sing renaissance style IMHO... Renate's voice is rather "distorted", but most proggy...

Not on the list, but I adore Jane Duboc's voice (from Bacamarte). My wife called it whiny.
My favourite voice in Prog at this time is Carolina Prieto from Kotebel. I also like the use of voices in Karda Estra.
Dagmar Krause certainly gets points for distinctiveness. Rather unusual. Almost too distinct at this time for me; I'd have to listen more.
Kate Bush is a long-time favourite artist with a distinct voice... Could vote for her.
Annie Haslam... Well, her voice is strong and very pretty, but I don't find it that extraordinary. Still, I really like her voice.
Joanne Hogg's voice is pleasant, but I'm a little New Aged out.
Sonja Cristina's voice is very nice indeed.
Christina Booth -- I don't care for the music or her style.
As for the others (showing my newbieness), I don't know them.
A very strong list! I particularly want to find well-trained operatic female voices, however, in Prog.
Oh, one singer that would fit well into your list, I think, but didn't make your list, is Jerney Kaagman of Earth and Fire.

It's got to be slow
Taking love the only way
It's got to just flow
Making love and taking time to let it grow

After Annie Haslam, I would vote for Kate Bush too. Prog without a doubt. An incredible talent.
