Yes - Nightwish are on PA and Tarja has a very unique vocal style  |
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.

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.

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.

None of them are considered prog by this site (I don't think) but lets hear it nonetheless for:

PJ Harvey
All absolutely have elements of progressive music in their work.

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?

I have one of Zeena Parkins' solo albums, very interesting stuff.

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.

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.

Another to add to my list of "not quite prog but deserving of respect" would be Sonic Youth bassist/composer Kim Gordon.

Great to see some one else appreciates Sharon den Adel's vocals. She is the lead singer of the Dutch Goth/Metal band "Within Temptation". Nice eye-candy too :-

Got nothing against Annie Haslam, but I think Sonia Kristina is the one
who's lonely at the top. (Not counting the all the great progfolk
singers)

I really recomend "Takako Minekawa" if you like Kraftwerk-ish prog-pop mixed with Shonen Knife's cuteness. Tends to cover a few classics from favorites like Mike Oldfield and the Beatles. But then there there are a lot of simular groups like this from the last 10 years and it's not really what people here normally consider prog. She's just my favorite of their lot.
Francesca Nicoli of Ataraxia (my top fav gothic medieval-ish prog pop, simular to dozens of other goth groups out there though with female leads.)
Tracy Hitchings of Quasar on The Lorelei. (Simply the best female voice on a true prog album IMHO. Never heard her other releases as they are fairly obscure and I never felt like ordering them directly from her).
Barbara Gaskin of Stewart/Gaskin. (some perhaps would say it's more AOR than prog)
Grace Hearn of Oho. (same story as Stewart/Gaskin ?)
Sally Oldfield (Come on, Water Bearer anyone? Cannot forget her!)
Maggie Riley's work with Mike Oldfield. (her solo stuff is bleh AOR)
There are others which I would consider prog or close enough to progish, but I know others would not say this, like Toyah (Toyah Willcox went and married a top name progger), Enya, Louise Tucker (Midnight Blue), Maddy Prior of Steeleye Span, The girls in Manhattan Transfer, etc...
