Female Lead Singers

[Scrotum Scissor]

Arlette from Fulano/Mediabanda

Yup, but she never sang with Yanni. Hee-hee.

[BaldFriede]

Inga Rumpf (Frumpy, Atlantis and solo)

Inga is one of my favourite singers. The sheer power of her voice!

Here a video of Frumpy:

Very cool. I'm guessing Julian Cope was into her the same way he was into Renate Knaupp of Amon Duul II.

[Dana5140]

Always I would include Stella Vander, but I think one of the hidden treasures of Magma is Isabelle Feuillebois:



All three in happier days (Himiko Paganotti):



And Diamanda Galas is the scariest vocalist in the world, bar none. What she did with JPJ is nothing compared to her own vocal work.

[Svetonio]

I'd like to mention Anna Meek's vocals on this album as well:

[bill g]

Still my favorite female vocalist:



No voice quite like Amy Darby

[regenerativemusic]

The band Aslan is so obscure I am even having problems finding the personnel list. I have heard the main singer's name once, now just to track it down....

Sam Brown on Just Good Friends with Fish is an all time favorite.

[tormato]

Annie Clark (St. Vincent) currently has a lot of my attention, plus I think she's an interesting guitarist



I really dig Carla Kihlstedt of Rabbit Rabbit, especially after seeing them live a few years back.

[TheH]

Yup, but she never sang with Yanni. Hee-hee.

Mediabanda's new girlie ain't that bad either.

[Scrotum Scissor]

^ Yes, I just happened to see from your site today (babyblaue) that they're finally back with more - fabulous!

[Rand Kelly]

Great band great video. Nikki Squire is awesome and I love her hair.

[progeezer]

Amen in spades!!

Donna Godchaux. This is not one of her better efforts. Her only lead vocal was on the song Sunrise (Terrapin Station). A much better performance in the studio, check that one out instead.

Oops, you're right, this isn't lead vocals.

MIKE (a.k.a. "Progbear")

N.P.:“Ice Age”-Ambrosia/Road Island

Nice List, particularly those bolded.

[jim1961]

Here's more, maybe some have been mentioned:
Simona Angieloni- Aries

Nice one!

[Progbear]

Familiar with bolded. Checking out some of the others. Thanks.

Definitely try Toccata. Andrea Medina is a force of nature. Whatever became of this band?

[progfan915]

Nice! I've never heard them before. Where's a good place to start?

[jim1961]

I think most folks around here are partial to "The Water Road". Personally, I like "One For Sorrow...". The newest "The Clockwork Universe" I haven't become that familiar with, but has the same hooks.
