Not really singing, but still sexy. (the guy before me mentioned Gong but I was thinking of a different song)

Hot songs by women or songs by hot women?

how about any hot song sung by a woman ie Ann Wilson, Debbie Harry, Chrissie Hynde
 
Kate Bush for sure.
 
Sandy Denny. Reynardine and then One More Chance! Matty Groves, too!
 
Esperanto - The Last Dance
 
Gilly is far "sexier" in GLO and the album with the whale cover ... where the music is easy going and very trippy and it's like you got this siren talking to you here and there and everywhere ... I always thought that few women "exposed" themselves inside and out more than this one ... and that Madonna and all the others were all show and not a whole lot of go after that!
 
Sonja is an interesting thing ... and I think that she was made up to be more sexy than she really was, and that another group of folks wanted her to be more like Annie Haslam, and I do not know that the group was well defined inside, and lasted together long enough to help her define herself better. When you hear "Phantasmagoria" it's like two different women from the first album, and while the acting side of that is nice, for me, it made the group sound weaker and not as strong all around, like it was a problem for each player and their family things too, I'm sure. You do know who she was married to, right?
 
The voice in Brainticket's Cottonwood Hill is down right sexy, crazy, amusing, and makes you wonder. I once asked a woman that heard this, if many women were like this in sex, or any other moment ... and she said ... "all you men would like to think that we're all that confused!" ... and she made it clear that some were more romantic and dreamy, and not likely to have the mind run a muck! But that she knew many folks whose mind was a mess in the dreaming ... and it actually scared her, and was a determining factor in her partners!
 
Janita Haan - Babe Ruth, and those first two albums are still neat and good, and on one night at the Whiskey A Go Go, she made Iggy Pop look like an idiot kid from down the street that couldn't dance, or even stand up, on the stage! Janita was not only sexy, I would imagine very real ... that voice did not sound like a fluke at all!
 
Sexy, however, is relative ... I never really thought of Gilly, and I have spent time with her, as an "image" of what a woman should be in my fantasies at all ... I would rather have a real woman with me, than a doll for my fantasies ... and this was the part of a lot of music that threw me ... some were being blatant about a sexuality they hever had ... like Madonna!

My favourite women singers

Pascale Son - Cos (Belgian jazz-rock/canterbury band) 

Anneke von Gisbergen ( The Gathering ,Netherlands.  Sounds like a more "rockish" version of Bjork :-) ) 

Inga Rumpf of "Frumpy" . Bluesy singer with unique "mannish" voice for the woman. Signature song is "How the gypsy was born" 

Dagman Crause in Henry Cow, especially "living in the heart of beast" ,truly epic song and great voice

Magdalena Hagberg in Par Lindh Project's  Mundus Incompertus (beautiful "operatic" voice)

also Deborah Perry from Thinking Plague is good

enjoy!

OK, so this band started off as heavy/psych rock before becoming a prog band. I really thought someone would have got to this one before me - Holymoly, I'm looking in your direction! , but enjoy!

Hey, no one has mentioned "Great Gig in the Sky", by Pink Floyd. I think it once won the title of the best song to make love to... though I can't quiet picture that.

Click on the icon "insert movie", then copy/paste the YouTube URL, then you can click on "preview" to be sure that it got right.

Thanks, I've done many YouTube posts on PA, but the https ones seem to give me fits.  I think YouTube does that to prevent us from embedding the videos (thereby forcing us to YouTube to watch endless adverts!)

Sad ... you didn't mention that she also played violin and flute in his concerts and that her voice was not the best part of her work with his group at all ... her playing was!
 
But it was nice and different!

It's about commerce and money ... why are you complaining? Best way to fight it is to NOT use it, and let them die for being selfish and stupid and throwing customers away!

Like the Irene Papas suggestion . That song was dubbed the 'orgasm song' although in fact it was meant to be an exorcism.
 
I'm going to see the Australian Pink Floyd for the third time in February and they do a mean version of Great Gig Gig In The Sky. Its amazing live! There is also a great performance on the Pulse DVD by Sam Brown. Now if that doesn't get you 'going' nothing willEmbarrassed
 
Magda Hagberg - great singer and violinist. RIP.
 
Sonja Kristina for sure. Grab the Beat Club performance of Curved Air from about 1971-2. Brilliant.
 
Christina Murphy Booth (Magenta) . Anyone mentioned her? I've seen them live a few times and she is rather captivating.
 
Never found Kate Bush sexy in the least although I love her music.

To-Mera and Aghora are just 2 that I like. I'm not really too big on female vocals in prog. I would actually prefer To-mera without the female vocals but I have no say in that matter so I just have to accept it.
