How many women are there in progressive music, especially ones who sing? The only one that I've come across on this site was Kate Bush (unless I'm blind), she can't be the only one. -------------  |

Check out Glass Hammer (Lex Rex, Shadowlands, Live At NEARFest, and The Inconsolable Secret). They use a few female vocalists and they add such beauty to their sound.

Well, Ofur, this topic is about women in PROGRESSIVE MUSIC so Grace Slick 
belongs here. By the way, how can I forget Ars Nova, I have seen these outstanding Japanese ladies on the Dutch Pul Festival in Uden, some slightly overheated progheads were screaming 'backstage'
.... And Interpose is worth to check out

Can you believe that there is one band from Japan playing complex prog almost as good as Il Balletto di Bronzo with decent material and they all are women? Yes, that´s true and they are ARS NOVA and they have at least two exellent LPs on Black Widow Records: The Book of Death and Android Domina with beautiful cover. If you are into that kind of stuff I strongly recommend these records! Have a interesting journey to the world of ARS NOVA. |

I guess that one diplomatic way of putting it. I stil don't see why they're listed here, not that I've heard much, but what I have heard doesn't even come close to qualifying them for inclusion. Again, it seems that Metal and Hard Rock get one hell of a lot of leeway on PA. -------------

FYI: Nightwish are also discussed and reviewed on many other prog websites.

Well perhaps I got a bit carried away there. But I really like what PJ does with the blues, particularly on To Bring You My Love and Is This Desire. Kind of a "mutant blues" thing is the best way I can describe it.
Is there a term "progressive blues" or would that be considered an oxymoron?  ------------- So much music. So little time. |

Well, it's a term that I think would apply to some Led Zeppelin tunes, so... To me, PJH is very traditional (except for some Post-Punk/Goth influences), but I will admit to not having heard too much of her stuff after the mid-90's. -------------

I really recomend "Takako Minekawa" if you like Kraftwerk-ish prog-pop mixed with Shonen Knife's cuteness. Tends to cover a few classics from favorites like Mike Oldfield and the Beatles. But then there there are a lot of simular groups like this from the last 10 years and it's not really what people here normally consider prog. She's just my favorite of their lot.
Francesca Nicoli of Ataraxia (my top fav gothic medieval-ish prog pop, simular to dozens of other goth groups out there though with female leads.)
Tracy Hitchings of Quasar on The Lorelei. (Simply the best female voice on a true prog album IMHO. Never heard her other releases as they are fairly obscure and I never felt like ordering them directly from her).
Barbara Gaskin of Stewart/Gaskin. (some perhaps would say it's more AOR than prog)
Grace Hearn of Oho. (same story as Stewart/Gaskin ?)
Sally Oldfield (Come on, Water Bearer anyone? Cannot forget her!)
Maggie Riley's work with Mike Oldfield. (her solo stuff is bleh AOR)
There are others which I would consider prog or close enough to progish, but I know others would not say this, like Toyah (Toyah Willcox went and married a top name progger), Enya, Louise Tucker (Midnight Blue), Maddy Prior of Steeleye Span, The girls in Manhattan Transfer, etc...

I agree 100% on Kate Bush and Joni Mitchell. They're among my all-time favourite female singers and musicians (and not only female, I have to say). Joni's live album "Shadows and Light", featuring among others the incredible talents of Pat Metheny and Jaco Pastorius, is utterly magnificent. And Kate's comeback album, "Aerial", was without a doubt one of the best releases of 2005. |

to mention a few that have not been mentioned before: Miquette Giraudy and Mireille Bauer of Gong. the former also appears on albums of Steve Hillage and System 7. in Kraut there are Gille Lettmann (Cosmic Jokers), Rosi Müller (Ash Ra Tempel) and Limpe Fuchs (Anima). Djong Yun sings on "Hosianna Mantra" by Popol Vuh. Maria Archer sings on Embryo's "Bad Heads and Bad Cats" and "Live". Claire Torry has to be mentioned for the vocal performance in "The Great Gig in the Sky". also Irene Papas for orgasming on "666" by Aphrodite's Child. Sally Oldfield appears on Steve Hackett's "Voyage of the Acolyte". his second album "Please Don't Touch" features Randy Crawford -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

Not prog, but I always thought that Elkie Brookes was one of the best ever jazz/blues cross-over singers. P.S.

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. |
