This album is perhaps my favorite of the genre, showing how King Crimson might have sounded with women vocalists!!  Highly recommended!

Try these for starters:
Strangers On A Train: - 'The Key Part 1: The Prophecy', & 'The Key Part 2 : The Labyrinth' (Tracy Hitchings - who also sings on Landmarq's excellent 'Science Of Coincidence' and 'Entertaining Angels' studio albums, and a couple of live ones too: -  'Thunderstruck' and 'Aftershock').
 
Janison Edge -  'The Services of Mary Goode' (Sue Element) - excellent melodic neo prog!
 
Legend: - Four fine albums (Debbie Chapman (3) & Kerry Parker (1) - see http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=602)
 
Arion - Arion (Tânia Braz) Three live videos embedded on their main page: http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2609
 
Flamborough Head (last three albums: - Margriet Boomsma - see http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=109

The keyword for search is "women".


Some other threads dedicated to female singers:

I don't know how i always forget that project. Still haven't sat through the whole thing - though what i've heard is great.

White Willow's new album, Terminal Twilight is quite good.
Marriages is a side project of Red Sparowes that has Emma Ruth Rundle singing.
Introitus has female vocals, not sure if she is the only lead vocalist though.

I know about a few of them, like Renaissance, Madder Mortem, Mostly Autumn, and some others, but is there a comprehensive list or a category somewhere on PA?

I did a search and one topic, about 1 band, showed up.

I listen to quite a bit of metal bands that have gals singing, like Nightwish, Within Temptation, Epica, Xandria, Diabulus In Musica, etc etc etc. but for all the prog albums I have, I don't think I have one with a female singer.
