I adored Kate Bush in my teens (and I still like her). Canadian JANE SIBERRY has been my special favourite about 16 years already. Anyone here know her? She has also progressive elements in her music. Suzanne Vega and Joni Mitchell came around later but not as strongly. The big lady invasion came with my drift towards jazz and entertainment music. Swedish Jeanette Lindström is my favourite modern jazz singer/composer. I greatly enjoy good old entertainment music a la JULIE LONDON, Astrud Gilberto, Peggy Lee, etc. My recent listenings include Mary Coughlan, Jane Birkin, Juliette Greco, Dusty Springfield, ...

In prog that I listen women are far too rare. Renaissance (Annie Haslam), and some minor bands such as Affinity, Babe Ruth, Curved Air... (Strangers on a Train f. Tracy Hitchings disappointed me). Hints, anyone?

Yes, Matti -- I have most of Siberry's albums, and even met her once.  I talked to her one-on-one for about 10 minutes, around the time of her 2nd album. She's very original, a good writer, a fine singer, and a terrific person -- very easy to talk to.Smile

I also quite like Kate Bush.

Outside prog or near prog, I'm a big fan of Lucinda WilliamsHeart, Annie Lennox, Joan Armatrading, Maddy Prior, and many others.Big smile

Oh yeah: Joni Mitchell, Suzanne Vega, Tracy Chapman, and Beth Orton too.

Lots in the realm of trad/Celtic.

The list goes on....Smile

Joni Mitchell is at the top of my list, highly creative and willing to explore new frontiers.

Followed by:

Aretha Franklin, because her voice is inspirational.

Carole King (early seventies), because my girlfriend liked her a lot and I have great memories of us together.

The Wilson sisters (Heart), because they rock with feeling.

Kate Pearson and Cindy Wilson (B-52's), because their a lot of fun.

That's interesting, Peter. Can you remember what you talked about?

It seems that female singer-songwriters prefer to have a solo career than to be a singer-songwriter in a band. And ladies in music are either very creative or just a singer-idols in the commercial business. That's one reason ladies are quite few in prog, and solo careers - think of Kate Bush - are seldom categorized as prog anyway.

To add some sad news about Lindsay Cooper: She is suffering from multiple sclerosis. She and Georgie Born used to play in an all female band too.

I heard about that as well, Baldjean - the last I heard Fred frith was working on some music software so she could continue composing, though sadly her days as a performer are over .

I believe that she and Georgie Born were in FIG (Feminist Improvising Group) together, is that the all female band you were thinking of?

If we're talking in terms of looks as well, Bjork and Kate Bush both do it for me.

The sexiest woman ever to play cello was classical cellist Jacqueline Duprés. Her playing was incredibly intense. Sadly she died of mutliple sclerosis at age 42. And she had to stop playing cello a few years earlier.

Typo: she was Jacqueline du Pré. I don't agree with the "sexiest" thing (I prefer Anna Sofi), but I do with the intense playing, very especially in Elgar's concerto and Brahm's sonatas (the later with her hubby Daniel Barenboim). Although I guess the Stradivarius cello she received as a gift from a secret admirer had something to do with that beautiful sound...

Right about the spelling but wrong about the sexy. I saw some incredible footage of her playing cello on tv.

I have a feeling lots of the guys here mixes between great singers / song writers to sexy lady who sings. That's a well known male disease (Linda, how can you stand us ?).

Mine are :

Annie Hasslem - great voice but never wrote anything.

Janis Joplin - The same.

Grace Slick - one of the clearest & finest voices I ever heard and also good song writer (Lather, Hey Fredreich, Greasy heart, Have you seen the saucers to name a few). I was happy to see lots here remembering her.

Kate Bush - great singing & writing.

Tori Amos - the same as Kate Bush. It seems she is the heiress of Bush.

Flora Purim - worked a lot with Chick Corea.

P.J. Harvey - A real rock singer and excelent song writer.

Bjork - The most special voice (but I do'nt fancy her as a woman, sorry).

I will add Kristin Hersh that made a duet with Stipp (Your ghost - an excellent song and a nice album) and Dolores O'riorden that Linda mentioned (I did'nt know the name but I did like her singing and special voice).

Btw, Joan Baez is not bad especially when she sings live Gabriel's Biko or Al preso numero nueve.

I hate to say this on a prog forum, but I actually like Mandy Moore.  I first was interested in her, because she's hot and was most popular at the peak of my puberty years.  Now I have come to like a few of her songs, for newer, "teeny" music she is one of the few that uses background music (besides the same terrible  beat as everyone else.)  And her singing is pretty good.

the best PROG female vocalists of all time!
Jerney Kaagman of Earth & Fire

unfortunately she never was coherant as STEVIE
NICKS and probably outclassed her stable mate,
Grace Slick(Jefferson Starship - Dragonfly is a
tossup)! Close call, she was excellent on "Song of
the Marching Children" which has a great
bonus track or two on the recent CD release.
