I HATE Joanna Newsom's music, but I don't see why not. Because she isn't rock? I don't recall Comus or Blackmore's Night doing anything rock either.
Whole categories like progressive folk and progressive electronic includes music that isn't rock at all.

I don't see how that's relevant as they sound nothing alike.

[Roger,
Outside being a Kate Bush clone, could you be a little more specific and argument as to why you'd see just another singer-songwriter and her piano being anything remotely "prog"... just look up a DVD of her concert, you'll be bored by the fourth song, because she's fairly one-dimensional artiste (something that we couldn't possibly say about Newsom, though) and her stage presence (outside her atrocious tastes in clothes) is about lesser than a carrot..... |
Yeah, if a woman makes weird music that makes her a Kate Bush clone. It's good to know this forum only lets the best and the brightest contribute.

If you believe the press, then practically any woman singer who isn't Britney Spears/Cheryl Cole is a "Kate Bush clone" or "Kate Bush influenced" e.g. Bat for Lashes, Florence etc etc.

From the one track posted, I wouldn't call her a Kate Bush clone. But her voice and phrasing are a bit like Kate's.

Hear hear! BTW I heard Paul Stump, author of 'The Music's All That Matters', interviewed on the radio recently about the latest edition of his book and he chose three tracks to be played: Genesis - The Fountain of Salmacis Egg - While Growing My Hair and Joanna Newsom - Monkey and Bear I know it doesn't prove anything but it does show that the idea of Joanna Newsom being progressive has a currency beyond a few people posting on this forum.

That's similar to my line of thinking.

Re: Bush vs. Amos, I don't mind Tori being on PA, but do find it kind of odd that Kate is in Prog Related while Tori is in Crossover. Maybe I'm missing what makes Tori more prog than Kate. I dunno. *shrug* I'm not going to lose sleep over it. I'm really more flustered about Tori making it and Happy Rhodes isn't here at all! No justice, dang it!

He was talking about Tori Amos and not Newsom, though even then I am not sure about the comparison. I suppose Newsom is just another singer-songwriter with a harp.

yes, I was speaking of TA.... To me Newsom doesn't remind me much of Bush....
and Kate is harfly "just another singer-songwriter", she's much more than that  .... I used that expression only for Tori Amos, which I also happen to like the first two albums.... the rest is more of the same but in a more boring singer-songwriter manner...

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
