My favourite is Kate Bush - not only a great singer, but a complete artist as well.

Ann-Mari Edvardsen (3rd And The Mortal):For how it interprets reciting a lot of passages of the song of 3rd And The Mortal.
Annie Haslam (Renaissance):For its immense voice.
Sandy Danny (Fairport Convention): For the sexy office that introduces in its interpretations, very exciting, beyond that for the marvellous and very very very warm voice. Requscant In Pace Sandy...
 
For always yours, Mandrakeroot.

I've never heard any of those listed, but I think Christian Vander's wife Stella Vander has a great voice, also I think her name is Maggie Reilly she worked with Mike Oldfield.

An excellent list, Christina from Magenta getting my vote.
 
Heather Findlay & Annie Haslam are superb also, but doesn't Sonja Kristina get a mention?
 
There are of course female singers who really would sound great in a Prog Band - Elkie Brooks, Shirley Manson, Anastacia, Macy Gray to name but a few. I also think that Lisa Scott-Lee would sound better doing the more off-beat arty stuff - she seems to have the kind of voice that would suit!

I'm not keen on female vocalists: background vocalists - yes, lead vocalists - no!

Of the above, Annie Haslam is in a different league to the rest - a superb singer, and technically the best vocalist I have seen performing live. Most of the remainder (Heather Findlay, Christina Murphy, Tracy Hitchings, Lana Lane) are average singers making average neo-prog.

She still is. A friend of mine who went to Fish's concert last Sunday bumped into the both of them and they seemed to be a happy couple.
 
Now I wonder about Damian Wilson?
 
Okay, back on topic. This isn't Prog People Magazine, after all LOL

Jane Sorrenti... she really was great! And she didn't sell out like her brother did...Dead
 
Talking about great female vocalists, let's not forget Sandy Denni (RIP), Maddy Prior and Jacqui McShee - the fantastic trio of '70s English folk rock. Another superb voice is Maire Brennan from Clannad (sister of Enya, but I definitely prefer Maire).
 
As to singers of other genres who would sound great in a prog band (as Dabaynton suggested), I wonder how Skin would fare... She's one hell of a vocalist!

Yes, I forgot about Skin - she's excellent!Star

the most UNSUITABLE voice for a prog band has to be Rachel Jones - Karnataka. She's a good singer, but I would have thought more a Broadway/West End musical star than prog. She's left the band now - anyone know what she's doing at the moment?

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
