I know you don't want to scare her, but if she likes funky stuff, you've got to give her some Gentle Giant (they're the funkiest prog band).  But obviously, do so with CAUTION!

Most girls I know liked Renaissance when I played it for them.  Probably because the music is beautiful and there's a female vocalist they could identify with.

My girlfriend loves Peter Gabriel, but doesn't like a lot of early Genesis, especially The Musical Box (my favorite of their songs), because it scares her.  But she kind of likes The Lamb.  She also doesn't like Yes for some reason, except for some of the eighties stuff :(.

She sort of likes Opeth though, although she has to be in the mood for it.  Actually that's how she is with all my music.  She has to be in the mood for it to like it.

Hello all of you.

I think that the question "why girls dont like prog" is important question.

I'm a female, not "girl" anymore.

My taste is not a usual "girl" taste, but steal i dont like prog-metal in general.

I assume that: when the prog just developed, weman where still not enough express themselves in music. while males yell their sexuality to death (like Robert Planet, for example), weman in music where still a "good girls" with "quite and nice" music - Jony Mitchel, Keroll King, etc.

It was not until the late 70' when Kate Bush came around. She gave much better presentation of "woman world" including sexuality of course, and many weman emotions...

But - this was not prog anymore.

After that came Bjork, and expanded the woman possibilites to express themselves... she quite close to prog i think, but it's defenitly not prog.

Then came PJ Harvey -WOW What a woman... what a presentation of weman world... just listen to "little fish big fish swimming in the water, come right here and give me my daughter"... but - not prog at all. blues stuff.

MABY IN THE FUTURE, if there will be a band, with weman singer like these singers, that could express herself, in prog band - maby than.

I dont consider here prog bands with "nice" woman singer.

IF someone know about such a band - let me know.

CHEERS !!!
