Turner’s first solo Xitintoday (1978) is fantastic. Miquette and Steve are part of the ‘band’ he assembled for the album, though it could be considered as ‘guest’. She has vocals on a couple of tunes. Check it out an decide anyway. I’m sure it’s an album you’d love.

Be wary though. Turner made two versions of this album; the second one in 1993 on the Cleopatra label. The only thing that remained the same are the lyrics. The music is totally different. Not just the same compositions newly recorded, no, totally different compositions. The second album is not bad, but the first version is in my opinion much better. I'd give 5 stars to the first version and 3.5 to the second.

I'm shocked that a Bay Area resident would have forgotten Carla Kihlstadt of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Charming Hostess. The latter ensemble is full of prog goddesses.


And what about Diamanda Galas?

Uhhh that second version is horrendous compared to the original imho. The production in particular kills it for me. Plastic everywhere....on a record so set on ancient Egyptian mythology is just...wrong. The Conchita Würst of Nik's oevre.

Some more goodies - all bands that I had the pleasure of seeing on stage in the past few years:

Alec K Redfearn and the Eyesores (Avant Prog, USA) - Lots of different ladies have been part of this great band (see their PA entry for details). I think Ann Schattle (horn in F) is a steady band member.
Forgas Band Phenomena (JR/F, France) - Karolina Mlodecka (violin)
Moraine/Zhongyu (Eclectic Prog, USA) - Alicia DeJoie (violin)
Travis Larson Band (not on PA - guitar-based fusion, USA) - Jennifer Young (bass)

Thanks for the suggestion but that's a guest role. I have not heard this album so thanks for putting it on my radar. As hard as i try i can't listen to everything Confused

I'm shocked too. I'm a baaaaaaaaaaad dog. They are one of my favorite bands. I did included Faun Fables and then got sidetracked i guess. Both of those added. Thanks!

Diamanda Galas isn't prog to me. I've seen her live. Own a few albums and find her experimental and weird as hell. I know she's on here but i don't hear it. If someone can point out one of her albums that is truly prog then i'll add her otherwise, i don't wanna scare aware the viewers LOL

All excellent suggestions and ALL added! Even Travis. This is MY list and doesn't need any team to vote on it Tongue
Travis Larson is listed as progressive rock on all his albums. Wonder if anyone has suggested it here yet. 

It was a last minute decision to start this thread to see if i missed anything. OMG, this list has become so much better than what i found myself! Thanks, everyone Clap

Nope. Two things. I'm only adding members of a group. I might make an exception for guests that play serious roles such as in the case of Deluge Grander but one song on an album that isn't progressive isn't good enough. But thanks for the suggestion :)
I suspected as much, but figured what the heck to throw it out there.

I think this list is demonstrating that women are hardly a stranger to progressive music and much more prevelent than i had realized. Yay! You go, girls!

I didn't see Pascale Son of Cos (Belgium), who provides vocals and oboe . It's the first name I looked for as I adore the Queen of Cos.

Another Belgian band, the RIO Aranis, if you think applicable (it would be to me), has various female members including: Linde de Groof (violin), Liesbeth Lambrecht (violin), Marjolein Cools (accordion), Axelle Kennes (piano) and Jana Arns (flute).

Let's also add the estimable female members of Wapassou:

Karin Nickerl / vocals, acoustic guitar
Eurydice / vocals
Veronique Nickerl / vocals

Nobody really seems to give a damn about Wapassou Cry but I think they were great.
