While we're on the topic of  folk singers, what about Bridget St John (a favourite of John Peel), and Lesley Duncan (who guested on Dark Side)?
Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?

Tale Cue's Laura Basla is a hottie. Too bad they only did one album. It's a sleeper-classic.

Vocals, too; she does most of the vocals on their album.

Another Québécoise is Christiane Robichaud of Contraction.

One of the drawbacks of liking the sort of music I do is that there are so few women artists-- I'd like to keep my music collection fairly balanced but it just doesn't work out.  Thanks for this thread; I'll have to check out some of the bands I didn't know about--and really I'm at least as interested in bands with non-singing women, because female-fronted bands with male musicians are much more common than the opposite.

I remember seeing Babe Ruth live in the mid 70's and yes what a great performer Jenny (Janita) Haan was.

Not prog, but I always thought that Elkie Brookes was one of the best ever jazz/blues cross-over singers.

P.S. Susanna Hoffs of the Bangles was a darned good singer and pretty hot. too.. come to think of it they all were. Embarrassed

You'll find that many will submit another post rather than edit. Strange behaviour I know, and mildly irritating.
 
I didn't know that edit possibillity exist.Embarrassed  You've been a member a while now, so this is suprising.

I agree 100% on Kate Bush and Joni Mitchell. They're among my all-time favourite female singers and musicians (and not only female, I have to say). Joni's live album "Shadows and Light", featuring among others the incredible talents of Pat Metheny and Jaco Pastorius, is utterly magnificent. And Kate's comeback album, "Aerial", was without a doubt one of the best releases of 2005.
