Hey all! Since that thread that emerged complaining about women not getting a fair shake in the prog world, it got me wondering how many bands throughout history have had women involved. So i started a list on Rate Your Music titled:
I want it to be as complete as possible and would appreciate any suggestions for addition or any corrections. Also this thread could be a place to discuss women's roles in prog music in general. It was a fun experience. I started it more for my own educational purposes and then sort of got carried away. Found almost 400 artists but i'm sure there are many more. Please do check to see if it's already on the list before you start suggesting away. The obvious suspects like Renaissance, Comus, Art Bears etc are well represented already. Thanks! :} Hopefully the link works! https://rateyourmusic.com/list/siLLy_puPPy/goddess-prog-women-in-progressive-folk-rock-and-metal/" rel="nofollow - Goddess Prog: Women in Progressive Folk, Rock & Metal - Rate Your Music If not, copy paste: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/siLLy_puPPy/goddess-prog-women-in-progressive-folk-rock-and-metal/ -------------  https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

Fantastic work on that list so far! One that I'm a little surprised you missed is Bubu with Cecilia Tenconi on flute. You could also include Alas if you wanted to be a completionist about it, since Cecilia contributes some flute parts to their second album Pinta Tu Aldea. And while we're in Argentina, MIA is also worth including for Liliana Vitale, who contributed vocals, flute, drums, percussion, bass, and recorder over the course of their 3 studio albums! ------------- when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers - now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents |

^ Thanks! Both for the kind words AND for the suggestions. I knew i would miss some obvious ones as well as ones i've never heard. Even though i actually own all those albums, i actually didn't know about the Alas and MIA ones :o Will check them out now ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔ ------------- https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

Some additions from Finland: Auli Lattunen: Vocals in Haikara (1973-1976) Saara Hedlund: Vocals in Haikara (2001) Pia-Maria Noponen: Vocals, Flute, Synthesizer and Grand Piano in Scapa Flow (1980) Pihasoittajat are not in PA, although they should be, just because Fairport Convention is. Anyway in their most proggy album "Kontaten Kotia" Arja Karlsson does very great vocals, also in their earlier "Hattukauppiaan aamu"-album. You could add Jane Relf also to Renaissance, because he sings in their first two albums. Also, Judy Dyble has short, but great band Trader Horne and she has made also quite great solos later. I really hope you will put P.J Harvey there, because there are also Bush and Björk. Listen her "Is This Desire?", "Dance Hall at Louse Point" and/or "White Chalk" so you will notice she is as much prog-related than those other lovely ladies.

Thanks for all the suggestions! @Tom Ozric & Someone else.... ALL ADDED! @Mortte.... poor Jane, how could i forget to add her for Renaissance?!!! All others added except i'll have to think about PJ Harvey. I own several albums and have never considered her prog but it's been a while since i've given her a spin so i'll check her out. @PhildeauxFan... Lesoir is listed under alternative rock and not on PA so i'll give them a skip. Monnaie de Sange has no listing and isn't on PA so i'll check them out a bit more unless you convince me :) Others added. Keep em coming! ------------- https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

Lots of talented ladies on today's prog scene. Edit: All the bands of the "Cardiacs family" have great women musicians in their ranks: Knifeworld, Chrome Hoof, North Sea Radio Orchestra, William D. Drake - and of course the Cardiacs themselves. |

| Turner’s first solo Xitintoday (1978) is fantastic. Miquette and Steve are part of the ‘band’ he assembled for the album, though it could be considered as ‘guest’. She has vocals on a couple of tunes. Check it out an decide anyway. I’m sure it’s an album you’d love. |
Posted By: BaldFriede
Date Posted: February 09 2018 at 02:13
Be wary though. Turner made two versions of this album; the second one in 1993 on the Cleopatra label. The only thing that remained the same are the lyrics. The music is totally different. Not just the same compositions newly recorded, no, totally different compositions. The second album is not bad, but the first version is in my opinion much better. I'd give 5 stars to the first version and 3.5 to the second. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

I've seen her live. Own a few albums and find her experimental and weird as hell. I know she's on here but i don't hear it.

That's not a bad album at all. Probably one of her best. I like the Paul Kantnor collabs as well. Somehow i just put Grace Slick in the same category as Nico. Art rock / psychedelic folk and the like but not really progressive enough for inclusion into the club. Sorry :( However, you did remind me about Julie Slick!

Great list however most of these were already there. I did neglect Godspeed, Harmonium and Malicorne, so thanks! BTW in Godspeed someone is named Norsola. Is that a female name? One of the challenges of this list is that i find gender names in Japanese, Finnish and other non-Indo-European languages to be somewhat of a challenge! ------------- https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

My love for all-female Japanese bands knows no bounds, so here's a few: Paranoid Void: Meguri (vocals, guitar), Yu-Ki (bass, backing vocals), Mipow (drums, backing vocals) Very progressive, jazzy math rock...not on the archives yet, someday I'll submit them (that team has enough to deal with I think). Tricot: Ikkyu Nakajima (vocals, guitar), Kida Motifo (guitar, backing vocals), Hiromi Hirohiro (bass, backing vocals), Yusuke Yoshida (drums) Math rock, and on the archives! A little more indie than Paranoid Void, but still cool and oddball. Angel'in Heavy Syrup: Mine Nakao (guitar, vocals), Mineko Itakura (bass, vocals), Fusao Toda (guitar), Tomoko Takahara (drums, flute), Mandrake Yoko (drums), Naoko Otani (drums) Didn't check if you already had this gang on yet...trippy, shoegazy psychedelic prog rock.

Wow! I didn't know JT had female behind the scenes. Of course i don't know half of the musicians even though i love the music! She was definately "IN" the band, so bravo! Great find, matie! ------------- https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

Added. Except Decemberists. I know they're on here and i own most of their albums but WHY are they considered progressive? I don't find them to be at all. What am i missing? Thanks for suggestions! ------------- https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

She was still known as David Palmer (her birth name) when she was part of JT. Her name change came much later - in 1998, according to Wikipedia. |

Maybe people don't like them because the name sounds like WHOP A SOW! Anyways, my list loves them, thanks :) ------------- https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

You mean a transexual? I'm not sure that counts. I mean i have friends who are trans but when it comes down to it, one cannot change their chromosomes no matter how much snippy snippy one makes. What does everyone else thing about this? To me trans is a third category. No disrespect or anything but some sort of middle ground. Mostly because she was still influenced by the male hormones in development, something a person can never divorce from totally. ------------- https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

Great suggestion, but that's more of a guest appearance. Three songs on one album isn't enough for me on this one. ------------- https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |

Seeems there’s a truckload of female talent in the Prog-World. Still, there has to be more........especially in the Tech-Extreme zone

Oh, I hear you there! Hell, arguably my current favorite guitarist is Hanako from Octaviagrace, but unfortunately their style is probably just a little too power metal for "prog" standards (man is she great though). Here's a couple of more individual Japanese wunderkinds that need serious consideration though: Starless: Yoshiko Miyamoto (vocals) Named after the KC album, their Silver Wings album is one of the best Japanese heavy prog albums of the '80s. Seriously classic stuff. Although you might kick yourself for not catching this one considering their regal status in the E/T prog metal scene... Sigh: Dr. Mikannibal (alto saxophone, vocals) aah Japanese women proggers...

@ silly puppy: No idea about Decemberists! Just mentioned it because it's listed here and because it used to be very popular among the forum members at one point of time.
