Same idea as the previous poll only with runaway-winner Annie Haslam removed and replaced. So who was the second best singer from prog's "classic era"? (And don't worry: I'm not going to keep doing these after this one.) ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

She's not in the poll, but predictably, Jane Relf is my second-favourite after Annie Haslam. 
From the poll, I'll go with Barbara Gaskin. |

Still Pascale Son, but love most of these (including Annie) actually. I think I might have a slight preference for the female voice. Linda Perhacs Paralellograms is a masterpiece. I wish she got to have a full career (in the 1970's). I would have included Flora Purim and Catherine Ribeiro over a few of these though.

I think Sandy Denny is a better singer (certainly much more prolific) but the stuff I love of hers is 99% folks, but must post a great jazzy-folk song.. As well as the bluesy "One More Chance" with Fairport Convention or the funky "Gold Dust" on her last album. When it comes to prog, I gotta give 2nd place to Beate Krause. Only one album, but I think it's one of the last great prog albums. Would love more songs like this! ------------- https://www.youtube.com/c/LoyalOpposition https://www.scribd.com/document/382737647/MortSahlFan-Song-List |

Damn! I thought of including Jane but the one album-and-disappear-act kind of discouraged me. ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

Nice to hear from you, Morty! I quite agree with you about that Carol of Harvest album: one of the last great prog albums of the "Classic Era". ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

Many years ago I've been impressed by Jacqui McShee with John Renbourn in a small venue in Rome. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Sonja Kristina for me, with Jacqui McShee a close second (or should that be 3rd?). BTW I'm slightly surprised that Jenny Haan (Babe Ruth) is missing from the list. One of the most captivating and mesmerising prog vocalists I've ever seen on stage. ------------- "We're going to need a bigger swear jar."

While I like Jenny Haan, I think Babe Ruth's music was really good and wonder how they would fare out with another singer like so many prog-rock bands (at least in the 70s) who would have multiple singers. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/c/LoyalOpposition https://www.scribd.com/document/382737647/MortSahlFan-Song-List |
