Thanks, I saw that as well! Considering the huge contribution that women could make to prog music, I'm really amazed that they contribute as little as they do. Prog would be improved with far more female vocalists and instrumentalists, as would rock in general. Let's face it....pop rock really rakes in the cash with its selection of women vocalists! Maybe if Lady GaGa would reprise "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway?" I bet she'd do a bang-up job with it!!

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

... which kind of proves the point that "prog" is of men, by men, and for men
Kate Bush would probably be the most imperial female figure of prog, if she had anything to do with prog (alternative eclectic art-pop isn't quite prog). Anneke v G is a royal character of magnitude, but she is a bit of an outlander in the prog realm. That said, the Queen of England is German, and so was Catherine the Great of Russia. Go figure .. Marjana is too young, and Hiromi is just way too good (and too busy being the Princess of Electric Fusion) Annie wins, therefore, and not by default. She is the only one I can think of who is a fantastic music-maker, not weird, incontestably "prog", and has done more than enough to earn the title. |

Kate Bush for sure. Quit saying she's not prog! She's probably the best female songwriter of all time and, we can claim her if we don't discredit ourselves!

Annie may be a better singer but she's not the only one as per those criteria. |

Yoko was a progressive artists before "prog" even began! Yoko is the queen of prog - she tore down the kings of pop, then had John playing fuzzed out Krautrock guitar on the Plastic Ono Band LP.

However, Renaissance is still the most famous female fronted prog band. Specially if we consider full prog bands, and even more so, from the golden era of prog (the 70's, of course), so, indeed I consider Annie to be the queen of prog. And indeed, for me she is among the very best prog singers, male or female. Among my top 5 at least, and at this point I wouldn't be able to put them in order. |

Don't forget about Lisa Gerrard of Dead Can Dance. Well, if she is not the queen of Prog the. She is definitely the queen of art rock. ;) |
