Maddy Prior. Sally Oldfield is good, too. Mike had a great ear for female singers, because Maggie Riley was great too.
As I said before: Mike Oldfield had the best female voices, and King Crimson the best male voices.

None of them! 
I'd rather go for Emila Derkowska (Quidam) , Petronella Nettermalm (Paatos) or Linda Agren (Sinkadus)

Maggie Reilly of Mike Oldfield or Candice Night of Blackmore's Night. I could listen to either of them all day.

Sarah Jane Morris has a wonderful contralto that can easily be mistaken
for a man's voice. She made some solo albums and appears as "The
Chorus" on Peter Hammill's opera "The Fall of the House of Usher". Her
voice is lower than the voice of Andy Bell, who sings the character of
Montresor on that album.

Kate Bush. Although Tori Amos, Björk, Máire Brennan, Lisa Dalbello, Ann Wilson, Joanne Hogg (Iona), Edie Brickell and Rachel Jones never cease to amaze me.
Aleena, who worked with Kaipa ("Keyholder"), is rather good, too.

Inga Rumpf is an excellent call, though neither Frumpy nor Atlantis are in the database. Her voice is very "black".

Females aren't very important in prog so I can't say.

What? Nobody listens to The Gathering. As a famous icon in Australia once said "Do yourselves a favour".

Marcela Bovio has the best female voice around. Listen to Ayreon,
Stream Of Passion or Elfonia and you shall love her voice like many
before you

Kate Bush, followed by the great Joni Mitchell. Tori Amos is quite good too. From outside the list I'd mention Grace Slick, Sandy Denny, Maddy Prior and Jacqui Mc Shee, and Maire from Clannad. I'm not too keen on Loreena McKennit, who sounds rather contrived to me.
BTW, though she's not by any means prog, has any of you ever heard Skin, formerly of Skunk Anansie? She sings a track on Tony Iommi's first solo album, and she's simply awesome!

[QUOTE=lucas] There are very few women to sing in prog bands. [/

Actually, there have been many hundreds over the years, although many
are extremely obscure. I'm preparing an encyclopaedia of female
progressive and psychedelic rock musicians, although it will probably be
years before it's finished (if I ever get round to it).

Voted for Kate Bush 'cause her voice is very strange and unique. Also she not just singer or songwriter as it often happens. She is a great composer and her 82 "The dreaming" - best prog album of ALL 80s.
I am confused. Are we voting to our questions or to the one in the poll. The poll was on best voice not best artist.
After said that I must agree about "The dreaming". Excelent album and for me her best work (Night of the swallow is my favorite song in the album and of all her work).
Yet, did they put Kate Bush in the archives without informing me ? Last time I checked she was not in (though I think she should be ) !
