 Topic: what's the best Female Prog band?
Posted: July 09 2006 at 20:44 |
It's no surprise that prog music over the last 30+ years has been male dominated. But I want to know what some of your favorite 'female' prog bands are (i.e. prog bands w/female vocals). Maybe there's some new bands out there I haven't come across yet, just waiting to be discovered.
Here's my short list of some female prog bands I find noteworthy and enjoyable (all listed here on prog archives):
Mostly Autumn
Magenta
Renaissance
Curved Air
The Gathering
Karnataka
Iona
Glass Hammer
Nightwish

Renaissance is the only one I've ever heard. I do like Kate Bush, but she's prog related.

If you are talking about female vocalists then I can recommend you Spirogyra (Barbara Gaskin - vocals), a British Prog-folk band from the earlier 70's.

Aside from Naomi Miura's composition on King's Boards did any of their albums ever make it onto CD?

King's Board is omnibus album by keyborad-oriented progressive rock songs. This was released in 1990.
Miura has played in Rosalia, Ars Nova etc, but she hasn't stayed for long time in one group

Ars Nova for an all-female bad.
Mostly Autumn and, to an extent, Pure Reason Revoulution for female vocals.
Medieval Babes is something else... But Miranda Sex Garden are worth considering.
