And some that are prog... ain't there...

Hey my favorite female prog voices.. are the Pink Floydettes....including Clare Tory.. and I guess you know that Toni Tenneille (The Captain & Tenneille) was a Pink Floyd back up singer for awhile.... she evidently didn't learn a lot..

I voted for Chrissie (Magenta) although I think Magdelana Hagberg (Par Lindh Project) should be in the poll .She practically fronts the band now.I also like Sonja Kristina but my favourite is Chrissie.

I vote Kate Bush. I consider many of her works prog. And I don't care that she's not listed in the poll.

Of the above list, it's almost unfair to compare anyone to Haslam since she not only has one of the most God-given voice gifts in music, but was something of a "trailblazer," and thus some (if not many) of the others owe at least a small debt to her.

I also like Alannah Currie of Babble, whose voice is one of the most mesmerizing in prog.  (Babble's conspicuous absence from this site continues to bother me...)

However, although she might not be prog, the best female voice in "proto-prog" has to be Grace Slick, one of the most expressive, "honest" singers in rock.

Noone in the Poll. I like Astrid van der Veen's voice, from the Ambeon album. Talk about the voice of an angel!

I agree 100%!! The only female singer of the prog scene I know who can be compared to Annie is: MAGGIE REILLEY, from Mike Oldfield.

The poll list should be bigger: I think those women have outstanding voices:

Anita Hergerland (Mike Oldfield)

Kate Bush

Clare Torry (If you want to hear her normal voice, then listen to Don't hold back from Alan Parson' Eve; also Tangerine Dream's Yellowstone Park is a mini Great Gig in the Sky!)

A special mention to :

White Willow singer, Roger Waters' vocalists: Madeleine Bell-Doreen Chanteer-Katie Kissoon, Clodagh Simmons (Mike Oldfield), Presence singer, Bobbie Watson (Comus).

Finally, non prog artist: Emma Shapplin (opera), Mylene Farmer (French pop), Barbara Streisand,  Daze singer (Euro-dance), 4 strings singer (Trance+Euro-dance),

Agree 100%

Kate Bush made some very progressive albums IMO. I love 'The Dreaming' album, and 'The ninth wave' suite on the 'Hounds of love' album is superb.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Annie Haslam  had no peers she was the first lady of prog and had a truly god given gift that lifted her away from anyone else.From Prologue and onwards she had a voice that captivated me almost like Jon Anderson.Like Sv and Batts I would herald the voice of Heather Findlay of Mostly Autumn.Go see her live she is a wonderful talent.Away from prog Joni Mitchell had a voice that could mesmerise.Hey Batts welcome to this forum you will enjoy.

Hiroko Nagai of Pageant should DEFINITELY be in the poll. She's who I'd vote for above the other choices...

As I said before, I agree with Clare Tory and also another PF backup singer.. Sam Brown, who is a great jazz artist in her own time.

I also agree with Annie Haslam.  She was an original and she has one of those naturally talented voices (sort of like our Ms. Carey) in that she can sing about 5 octaves... without a strain.

Has anyone heard canadian singer... Mimi (Goese).  I loved her album "Soak"... and it had lots of prog tendancies... She also has a brilliant voice..

Again we agree Richardh, Annie Haslam was always my first choice, but Christina Murphy Booth from Magenta has slowly became my favorite vocalist, she's always precise and the sould of the band.

Also agree about Magdelana Hagberg, she should at least in the poll.

I DIDN'T HEAR ENOUGH FEMALE VOCALISTS TO MAKE A FAIR DECISION, SOME OF YOU ONLY MENTION SOME GIRLS THAT HAD PARTICIPATED WITH PROG GROUPS, BUT NOT AS A PERMANENT BASIS MEMBERS. SONJA KRISITINA (FROM CURVED AIR), IS THE ONLY WOMAN THAT I WOULD CONSIDER AS A GOOD SINGER, BUT SINCE I DIDN'T HEAR SOME OF THE GROUPS (OR NAMES) LISTED ABOVE I CANNOT VOTE WITHOUT GIVING A REASON WHY SHE AND NOT THE REST...

BY THE WAY, I WONDER WHY MARIAH CAREY WAS NOT CONSIDER ON THE LIST, MANY POSTS ON HER DISCUSSION ROOM THAT I GUESS SHE DESERVES A PLACE
