I was surprised that I could not find her on this site.  I enjoy Bjork from time to time and really haven't considered her anything but progressive.  Is it because it's a heavy dose of electronic music?  Maybe I should suggest her.  Really good voice and interesting arrangements.

Like all sensible nations, Iceland exports it's waste products. She gives squeaky toys a bad name. The first Sugar Cubes album was pretty good, but solo, beige pants for me.

Her jazz albums before she went bonkers were rather good. But no, I'm not surprised not to find her here.

Seems there are a lot of people on both sides.  But for some reason, she doesn't seem to be getting the time of day.  I would think with a lot of people favoring her inclusion that it would at least be considered, with such a high percentage and all.  I haven't heard EVERY album by her, but enough that I don't consider her mainstream in the least.  There are a lot of rock type beats in her song, albeit a lot of the instrumentation is electronic, but there are quite a few symphonic/avant-garde elements as well.
 
I would certainly list her higher that Peter Gabriel on the prog scale, as pointed out by others.

She always sounds somewhat tone deaf to me.

Well neither of them rock very hard. :P 

From what I've heard of Medulla, I can see the arguments for her, but I think she's too deliberately pop to fit in Crossover, and not influential enough to be in prog-related.

She's progressive pop. Seems like the prog-related category includes a lot of progressive pop as it is, so I think she'd fit well there.

Take a listen to Medulla album and say it's not progressive... Robert Wyatt even had his guest appearance there in delightful Submarine song + the whole album made almost entirely by human voices :)
