 Topic: Female element in Prog Rock
Posted: July 24 2010 at 12:30 |
Let look, Prog Rock (and Rock generally, in fact) is a quite masculine matter. And a little bit of women is a lucid exception here. I´m glad for this fact and I wish more girls and ladies in Prog! 
My choice is Annie Haslam of course.

Miss Haslan from Renaissance, or Kate bush, if you count her. You didn't include her so I don't know. I also have a thing for Bjork.

That´s not about vocalist only. Barbara Thompson didn´t ever sings but she´s excellent sax player (and strong person) for example.

Stella Vander isn´ t too significant for order to this list. The same governs about Miss Holmgren, because Anglagard was mostly instrumental band.
Just remember that there are 25 places here only!

Björk isn´t in PA, I don´t know why. Kate Bush is in Prog Related subgenre, that means not Prog at all...

Like so many others, I am going with Annie Haslam, but I like Maddy Prior from Steeleye Span just as much.

- Nicklas Berg / guitar, Mellotron, Wurlitzer, voice
- Peter Nordins / percussives, vibraphone
- Anna Sofi Dahlberg / Mellotron, piano, Rhodes, cello, voice
A Time Of Day:
Line-up / Musicians

- Anna Sofi Dahlberg / vocals, Mellotron, violin, synthesizers
- Jan Erik Liljeström / vocals, bass guitar
- Peter Nordins / drums, percussion
Besides, she´s very nice.

Oh, did you mean KNAUP?
Sorry, I cannot inflate this list! I must to spare with additions, therefore I´ve eliminated (with some excepts): Proto Prog, Prog Related, Crossover Prog, RIO/Avant, RPI, Krautrock, Experimental/Post/Extreme/Tech Metal, Post/Math Rock, Prog Electronic, Indo/Raga and Zeuhl. I didn´t find any female artist in Neo Prog because that´s double Dutch for me, sorry.
The rest is pure Art Rock in narrow sense.
