Why do topics like this pop up from time to time? Does it matter?
I've seen threads like this before, and threads like 'how many black people plays prog?'
Nobody have asked how many white men who plays prog 
Sex and colour doesn't matter at all.

Well, it's a term that I think would apply to some Led Zeppelin tunes, so...
To me, PJH is very traditional (except for some Post-Punk/Goth
influences), but I will admit to not having heard too much of her stuff
after the mid-90's.

PJ Harvey? I have to vehemently disagree on both the Proginess and the attractiveness.

Well perhaps I got a bit carried away there. But I really like what PJ does with the blues, particularly on To Bring You My Love and Is This Desire. Kind of a "mutant blues" thing is the best way I can describe it.
Is there a term "progressive blues" or would that be considered an oxymoron?

FYI: Nightwish are also discussed and reviewed on many other prog websites. Maybe you should consider the possibility that it's not the archives that are giving a lot of "leeway" ... but that you might be too strict in your definition of prog.

No mention of one of the best female singers of the genre, Janita Haan, of Babe Ruth fame. Very attractive lady with an awesome voice- check out their superb album 'First Base' from 1972. A mixture of rock, soul, jazz and blues.

I guess that one diplomatic way of putting it. I stil don't see why
they're listed here, not that I've heard much, but what I have heard
doesn't even come close to qualifying them for inclusion. Again, it
seems that Metal and Hard Rock get one hell of a lot of leeway on PA.

Can you believe that there is one band from Japan playing complex prog almost as good as Il Balletto di Bronzo with decent material and they all are women? Yes, that´s true and they are ARS NOVA and they have at least two exellent LPs on Black Widow Records: The Book of Death and Android Domina with beautiful cover. If you are into that kind of stuff I strongly recommend these records! Have a interesting journey to the world of ARS NOVA.

Well, Ofur, this topic is about women in PROGRESSIVE MUSIC so Grace Slick 
belongs here. By the way, how can I forget Ars Nova, I have seen these outstanding Japanese ladies on the Dutch Pul Festival in Uden, some slightly overheated progheads were screaming 'backstage'  .... And Interpose is worth to check out  , a very promising Japanese band! |
