There are precious few  in this male-dominated genre! Kate Bush or Annie Haslam gets the nod....
My fave overall (non-prog) female vox?
Annie Lennox
Maddy Prior
Kate Rusby
Karen Matheson
But Peter, you ask, who are the last two?
 Peasants!

I know they are not exactly progressive rock but IMO Medieval Baebes and Miranda Sex Garden (Gothic/Celtic/Folk) have a common denominator, the wonderful voice of Katharine Blake.
Excelent vocalist and closer to prog' than most people believe.

Agreed Sandy had a lovely voice but outwith the prog scene the timeless beauty of Joni Mitchell's voice is unsurpassable.

"Their singer" is actually Sandy Denny, who lead also a short (RIP Sandy) but briliant solo career. Her voice is as beautiful as Maddy Prior's or Annie Haslam's.

Agree 100% 
Kate Bush made some very progressive albums IMO. I love 'The Dreaming' album, and 'The ninth wave' suite on the 'Hounds of love' album is superb.

Kate has the most outstanding voice in the realm of pop/prog music.

You are totally foregetting the late 60s female singer Grace Slick. She sang in Jeffersson Airplane from 1967-1972.The band at their artyest point in their career played some kind of psychedelic proto-artrock...

| I voted for Chrissie (Magenta) although I think Magdelana Hagberg (Par Lindh Project) should be in the poll |
Again we agree Richardh, Annie Haslam was always my first choice, but Christina Murphy Booth from Magenta has slowly became my favorite vocalist, she's always precise and the sould of the band.
Also agree about Magdelana Hagberg, she should at least in the poll.

As I said before, I agree with Clare Tory and also another PF backup singer.. Sam Brown, who is a great jazz artist in her own time.
I also agree with Annie Haslam. She was an original and she has one of those naturally talented voices (sort of like our Ms. Carey) in that she can sing about 5 octaves... without a strain.
Has anyone heard canadian singer... Mimi (Goese). I loved her album "Soak"... and it had lots of prog tendancies... She also has a brilliant voice..

Hiroko Nagai of Pageant should DEFINITELY be in the poll. She's who I'd vote for above the other choices...

Annie Haslam had no peers she was the first lady of prog and had a truly god given gift that lifted her away from anyone else.From Prologue and onwards she had a voice that captivated me almost like Jon Anderson.Like Sv and Batts I would herald the voice of Heather Findlay of Mostly Autumn.Go see her live she is a wonderful talent.Away from prog Joni Mitchell had a voice that could mesmerise.Hey Batts welcome to this forum you will enjoy.
