At the risk of sounding like the stereotypical male, I'm glad to see some nice looking members of the opposite gender in progressive music. Not limited to just the men-folk, who is the musician within the progressive genre who raises your blood pressure?
For me, it's Susie Bogdanowicz of Glass Hammer. Not only is she hotter than doughnut grease, but she also seems like a very sweet woman. Appearances aside, I really like what she adds to Glass Hammer's dynamics. Her vocals on "Run Lisette" are absolutely stunning, too. E -------------

Are women allowed their say in this thread?  Unfortunately I don't know many of the newest bands (though I've seen pix of Daniel Gildenlow, and he looks pretty hot), but I can mention some of my favourite male eye candy of the Golden Age of Prog:- Eddie Jobson - David Gilmour - John Wetton - Tony Banks - Peter Gabriel (not bad-looking even nowadays) As to non-prog, the list would probably be longer, but I'll only mention Iron Maiden's Steve Harris and the stunning John Sykes with his flowing golden locks. I expect some feedback from the other girls here! |

without causing any offense to you lovely guys......... none of the few girls there are around got into Prog for the blokes either!!!

Well, I rarely find fanciable people around, as I've always been very difficult... Anyway, it's quite true that none of us got into prog in order to drool at babes or hunks - would've been easier to get into boy bands or disco music, if that had been the purpose! BTW, I had a look at the Riverside website... Is Mariusz Duda the one with blond hair and a beard? He does have an air of Sean Bean ( ) about him.... I wouldn't mind seeing him live! |
