Good Prog-Rock Songs w/ Female Vocals

She's probably my favorite singer, and Curved Air is probably my favorite non-mainstream band (ala Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Genesis).. I could list 20 songs! Hard to pick a favorite, I have a handful.

Dance of Love

Hi,

I kind of wished that Renate had done a solo album, however, as is the case in one CD, I think that she might be the one person in the band that did not want to rehearse and try to make things look better, and still keep that "krautsomething" alive by improvising, and just doing stuff that might not sound as good as material that is a bit more focused. But she is strong in her own way, and I wish that she had been able to channel it into something more than a haphazard improvisation lasting a long time, that was ... maybe just for me ... meaningless ... otherwise, except for the fact that it was an improvisation, and one that ... probably won't matter, anyway!

Her vocals, for my ears ... were fairly well tuned to the material for a few albums, but I have a feeling that the band deciding that she was not going to be up front all the time, probably had a side effect that we see later in at least one CD of her live in performance. 

But you could take one or two pieces from each album from WOLF CITY on, and make a stupendous album. And "Surrounded by the Stars" is not the only one. The biting venom of the deadly snake in "Mozambique" tells you more about her style and ability that the band was probably afraid to take on, and become some sort of metal band doing a growl like delivery by Renate! But it was effective and a couple of months later that country got its independence ... that was kind of strange, but for me, it brought the message home like so many "songs" can't even try ... 

But there is something really scary here, and it is in the HIJACK album in "Da Guadeloop" when the feminist wants to march and stand up, and is laughed off! That while funny in a sense, is down right insulting and I think that Renate was shut off probably more times than we know ... but I am not sure that she gives a darn ... she continued on!
