Agreed, all of the Renaissance studio albums from Prologue through to Azure D'Or, plus Live at Carnegie Hall.  Annie Haslam's solo albums, Annie in Wonderland (1977), Still Life (1985), Annie Haslam (1989), Blessing in Disguise (1994), and The Dawn of Ananda (2000),  tho not exactly prog are definitely worth checking out.  If we really must have a Prog Related category then it is a bit of a puzzle why Annie's solo work isn't listed on here given her involvement with Renaissance.  Did I mention that I'm a massive Annie Haslam fan?

Plus I recommend the first three Curved Air studio albums (Air Conditioning, Second Album, Phantasmagoria), and Curved Air Live.

Somewhat darker and harder RPI (and really bombastic)

Preferably 70s (and late 60s).. If YOU think it's prog, please paste the YouTube link... Duets are cool, too, and the blending of certain voices can be quite great. I keep running into them, and many are not well known.

I tend to love soothing, voices in a high register, with piano, violins, slower-tempo, but of course there are exceptions. I notice many of my favorites might be considered "classical" (piano), like the song "Face of Yesterday" by Illusion.

Here's one I love... I'll post more if the thread gets going.


I just noticed you posted the same thread on another music forum, nice strategy for a lot of suggestions. The other site (non prog) is leading though with replies and views Confused.


It's cool to compare answers.

Some excellent South Wales bands with stunning female vocals. Panic Room, Luna Rossa, Three Colours Dark, Karnataka, and The Reasoning, all linked by common persons at one time.

All of the White Willow albums have good female vocals.....and though Trees is more  folk that prog Celia Humphries does some nice vocals.

Great prog, but vocals are controversial, just look up PA reviews:

Here's another! It's our loss that Laura Basra has vanished from the limelight.

Almost anything by Mostly Autumn has either Heather Findlay or Olivia Sparnenn-Josh singing, and it doesn't get much better. I'd recommend Evergreen, Shrinking Violet, Sight of Day and Run for the Sun.
Obviously, Renaissance have sublime vocals by Annie Haslam, but the first incarnation (which later became Illusion) have Jane Relf, who is also superb. (Funny how Illusion have turned up twice today and I've never seen them mentioned in the 10 years I've been on here, which is disgraceful).
Joanne Hogg of Iona has a beautiful voice, Magenta's Christine Booth is great, Steeleye Span has the marvellous Maddie Prior and Mike Oldfield has Maggie Bell on several tracks.
A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

Intrigued by a lot of the tracks suggested on this thread and want to explore them. 

A personal favourite is Mike Oldfield 's 'Song of Hiawatha'  based on the Longfellow poem  from ' Incantations' . Maddy Prior was the vocalist. 

Here is an extract from a live performance . The full version is on Youtube as well.

One of the few RPI bands with a female vocalist - and an outstanding one at that - Saint Just, their self-titled debut album:
