Because every time I (and not only I ) wrote a post, you came and bit my leg.
 
You never explain with your arguments on posts you don't like.
 
(I will use edit key to add some more)
 
That's the reason you have over 9000 posts here


Ok..youi're right, I'm wrong, happy now!

The groupies of all are wonderful prog bands! They keep them happy and in good morale. Very essential if you ask me. Wink

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

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.

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

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)?
