Hey people..
It seems that prog is kinda dominated by men.....What is that all about?
Let´s talk about the wonderful women out there!  ------------- "when routine bites hard and ambitions are low, and resentment rides high but emotions won´t grow And we´re changing our ways, taking different roads.. Then love, love will tear us apart again.." |

This girl (she´s not a girl anymore, she´s passed 45 i think) has everything.
She has the piano on her knees, she has the voice, she has sensuality, she has presence, her music has everything. I first heard of her with boys for pele (still my fav), but little earthquakes is mindchanging, specially silent all these years - how many cigars i´ve smoked while driving and listening to that song......

I love Alanis Morissette enough to vote for her instantly, without thinking of any "Other", despite having so many favourites.  I had the biggest crush on Fiona Apple, though... 12 years ago or something like that.  |

From the list, Tori is my favorite. I got into her thanks to my girlfriend at the time. Pretty Good Year was the new release. I think it was due to the Kate Bush influence and the fact that she is very good at the keyboard. Think of your favorite officially prog keyboardist. She can play rings around him, whoever he is. Long time fan of Sarah. Got into her because I read a review of Solace that compared her to Kate and tried it. I think her first three qualify her for a place in the archives. Currently enjoying her latest one. Speaking one I tried due to being compared to Kate Bush again, Happy Rhodes (thanks Finn). It was like discovering lost KB albums. I've had Alanis' first since it came out. Interesting stuff even though she really didn't quite get the concept of irony.  Laurie Anderson. She's worked with Peter Gabriel and Adrian Belew. A really strange person to avoid if you don't think humor belongs in music. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

None of the above.
I like Lucinda Williams & Kate Rusby a lot, lately.
Other ladies who loom large in my collection are Annie Lennox, Kate Bush, Alison Krauss, Sandy Denny & Maddy Prior.
Many are from folk circles -- lots of great female artists in folk! ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

Actually, though I find that sexy, it's the fact that she's a kick ass keyboard player and has a really weird mind that I find more appealing. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Where is Clare Danes? I picked Beth Orton. She has a natural kind of beauty as well.

From the list, maybe PJ Harvey, but Barb Gaskin is still my ultimate favourite female vocalist. I'd like to mention another special lady with angelic vocals from a band really worth checking: Shanti Curran from Arborea. |
Posted By: Raff
Date Posted: August 08 2010 at 14:51
 One of my favourites, together with the mighty Siouxsie. I'm much more into contraltos than sopranos (with some notable exceptions). Speaking of which, I'm surprised no one mentioned Lisa Gerrard - one of the best voices I've ever heard, period. |

^Or Liz Fraser, to remain in the same era. Speaking of the 80's, I would like to know more about A.C.Marias: I only have her 1989 album One Of Our Girls (released on Mute) which is another treasure forgotten under the dust of times. She started her career in 1980, singing on the song "Cruel When Complete" from Dome's first LP (Dome was a band created by two former members of Wire). Her music is rather atmospheric, each instrument resonating in a "full empty space"... Wonderful. Also, Julie Crusee for her 1990 album Floating Into the Night (including the song you can hear in David Lynch's Blue Velvet). |

Yes, for seeing her live, I second the Emmylou recommendation. All the usual suspects have been cited. Now for the ones that deserve some more attention : Polish vocalist Agnieszka Dudek (Turquoise, Ankh) has also a lovely voice : Ukrainian vocalist, Roksana Vikaluk (who is somewhat prog-related, at least in some prog rock websites) can be recommended as well : Spanish vocalist Patricia Tapia (of AOR band Nexx) is also incredible : Tracey Blue of the AOR band Life On Mars should not b overlooked (listen to the song "nancy dear") : http://www.myspace.com/lifeonmars Beatriz Pichi Malen of the mapuche tribe : Reinette l'Oranaise from Algeria : ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

Few very important female singers are missing here :
Crystal voice - Amanda Parsons, Barbara Gaskin and Grace Slick (If I had to pick 1 it would be BG).
Breaking glass voice - Boby Watson, Dagmar Krauze and Renate Knaup (very close match between Renate and Dagmar. I think Renate wins).
Unique voice - Kate Bush ------------- omri |

Arborea are a wonderful band indeed - I'm not so sure that they would get cleared on the site for addition in Prog Folk (maybe worth a shot anyway?) but for anyone passing through here who does like women - just head on over to http://arborea.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - http://arborea.bandcamp.com/ , where you will find all the releases of this artist gathered together for your listening pleasure (and/or purchase).

Gotta love female singer-songwriters, Kate Bush, Bjork and Joanna Newsom all have garned tons of listening time from me.
The Thinking Plague women (Sharon Bradford, Susanne Lewis, Deborah Perry, and Elaine Di Falco) are all also fantastic. Imagine if they had all been in the band at the same time; I feel some interesting things could have happened. Also from the ZART world, Dagmar Krause, Stella Vander, et al are also wonderful. Susanne Sundfor, Charlotte Church, Bat For Lashes, etc... Gotta love Satomi from Deerhoof and Kazu from Blonde Redhead, Eleanor Friedberger of The Fiery Furnaces, and the ladies of Dirty Projectors. Phideaux's band has some great female vocalists. Gotta give credit to Dominique from Stolen Babies for making harsh vocals sexy. The list goes on so I'll just stop here. I do have a preference for female vocals over male vocals so I could go on and on.
