There are very few women to sing in prog bands, and the ones I selected for this poll are probably the most representative.

NO, NO, NO, I cast my vote for Annie Haslam because she does truly have a wonderful voice but there are about thirty wonderful lady singers singing for what are generally termed Gothic-Metal or Symphonic-Metal bands which in reality are Sub Genres of Progressive Rock/Metal. Here's my top five:
Sharon den Adel - Within Temptation
Tarja Turgen - Nightwish
Medeah - Artrosis
Cristina Scabbia - Lacuna Coil
Vibeke Stene - Tristania
------------- <i>Sports cars</i>, helping ugly men get sex since 1954.

How about Sylvia Crichsen from White Willow, who's voice I find very evocative. Not to mention the occasionally awesome Lana Lane?
And even if you only give her prog cred for "Time Stand Still", you have got to love Aimee Mann.

I agree Semismart, gothic and heavy female singers are great, specially Tarja, what a voice! I add the Par Lindh's female singer, Magdalena Hagberg. Her voice is incredibly. Listen her singing in Bilbo or any Par Lindh's album, you'll believe there's an angel.

I feel like I can hardly vote since I'm such a Sandy Denny fan; i think she's just the best female vocalist ever, and a really good songqwriter as well.

What about Jennie Haan from Babe Ruth? She kicked some serious ass on that first album and at times she almost didn`t sound human! Presented with these choices though, I went with Joni. Renate Kanup kicked ass on early Amon Duul albums as well. I`ve tricked a lot of people into thinking that it`s Grace Slick singing on Archangel`s Thunderbird! I like Maggie Reilly a lot who sang on sevral Mike Oldfield albums. I particularily like her on Crises. What about Darga McBroom on Pulse By Pink Floyd? What amazing intonation! There are also a few good German bands that featured female vocalists back in the seventies. Although not a "prog vocalist" my favourite rock female voice would have to be Stevie Nicks with that killer vibrato. But the goddess of them all is Ella Fitzgerald without question or contest. Has anyone ever heard the killer version she does of Sunshine Of Your Love? If you haven`t it can be found on an album of the same name which was released in 1970 and still available.

Voted for Kate Bush 'cause her voice is very strange and unique. Also she not just singer or songwriter as it often happens. She is a great composer and her 82 "The dreaming" - best prog album of ALL 80s.
I think we should not forget such ineresting female singers as Linda Hoyle from AFFINITY and Janita Haan from BABE RUTH. They desrve to be mentioned.

Kate Bush. I was lucky enough to see her in concert back in 1979. She was brilliant. I think she is currently working on a new album which I am looking forward to, though I think she has been working on it for quite a while apparently.
Also, look out for a Welsh group called Magenta. Their first cd, Revolutions is stunning in a prog sort of way with great vocals from the female lead, Christina. they have their second disc coming out at the end of March
Mostly Autumns Heather Findlay has a lovely ethereal voice and absolutly gorgeous with it. Her vocals within this group fit perfectly and can change from a gentle melody to full, in your face rock.

I saw Magenta at 'Progeny' last year.Very good they were.I'm still waiting to receive my copy of 'Revolutions' having ordered it some 3 months ago.Annoying!
I've got a sampler CD of Mostly Autumn which is very good.They are clearly influenced by Pink Floyd.

No mention of Stella Vander of Magma? Or Anna Meek of Catapilla (whom I would have voted for; but she is definitely not everybodies taste)? An interesting female vocalist (though not exactly a singer) is Gilli Smythe of Gong. Also not exactly a singer is Rosi Müller of Ash Ra Tempel (to be heard on "Join Inn" and "Starring Rosi"). Honorable mentioning: Julie Wareing of the British Amon Düül (a band that for some reason still is missing in the prog archives, although they have 4 major releases and a sampler and such notable figures as Guy Evans of Van der Graaf Generator, John Weinzierl of Amon Düül 2, Dave Anderson of Hawkwind and Amon Düül 2, Robert Calvert of Hawkwind and Ed Wynne and Joie Hinton of the Ozric Tentacles played in them).

Sarah Jane Morris has a wonderful contralto that can easily be mistaken
for a man's voice. She made some solo albums and appears as "The
Chorus" on Peter Hammill's opera "The Fall of the House of Usher". Her
voice is lower than the voice of Andy Bell, who sings the character of
Montresor on that album.

Kate Bush, followed by the great Joni Mitchell. Tori Amos is quite good too. From outside the list I'd mention Grace Slick, Sandy Denny, Maddy Prior and Jacqui Mc Shee, and Maire from Clannad. I'm not too keen on Loreena McKennit, who sounds rather contrived to me.
BTW, though she's not by any means prog, has any of you ever heard Skin, formerly of Skunk Anansie? She sings a track on Tony Iommi's first solo album, and she's simply awesome!

I am confused. Are we voting to our questions or to the one in the poll. The poll was on best voice not best artist.
After said that I must agree about "The dreaming". Excelent album and for me her best work (Night of the swallow is my favorite song in the album and of all her work).
Yet, did they put Kate Bush in the archives without informing me ? Last time I checked she was not in (though I think she should be ) !

OK,
I voted for Annie, coz she is my fave...love her voice on 'Song for all seasons' and 'Live at Carnegie hall', just wonderful
I do agree that Sonja Kristina should be in there, her voice and looks should guarantee enrty!!
I also agree that Christina from Magenta should be too, she does sound alot like Annie, but she is very strong and exact to be sure, oddly the best example of this is the 'Prog aid' song 'all around the world' where her voice comes out of nowhere and cuts right through every thing else and you immediatley know it is her singing.
I LOVE Kate Bush, lets hope after finally having a kid and raising him it might persuade her to finish off that album, jeez, the orchestral parts were done almost two years ago, i heard.
Then for different reasons Cathy Alexander of The Morrigan, she has a great voice also, but I have had the pleasure of mixing her voice. fun it was too!
