4. Landmarq
5. Epica? (Maybe...)

Interesting choices. Have you ever heard Tarja Tarunnen (ex Nightwish)?

Oh, lol, I get it now! I thought he was playing AtomicCrimsonRush's guessing game, so I corrected his number 5  In retrospect, I probably should have noticed that there were only 4 pictures

There was a funny story about Berlin from the Yes tour of 90125 in the States. They had been lined up to support the band, Anderson found out about it, and said "who the f*** are they? Don't want them on my tour", which is why (and it was continued into the UK) we had the far preferable Loony Toons as the support act. Daffy Duck & Bugs over Berlin any day

hah HolyMoly that's funny with Jon Anderson! I'm glad girls don't really sing like him though  . I've only heard Ren-as-ance and I wasn't overly impressed, though I appreciate Haslam's vocals especially on "It's All Over Baby Blue" from Howe's portraits of Bob Dylan Also, Kiki Dee on Freudiana (APP) "Your On Your Own" Clair Torrey (spelling) on "Don't Hold Back" APP, from Eve. I don't think too, too much of Phideaux's female vocals Non Progwise, cuz I have to, Definitely Berlin, my favorite female vocal'ed band (Teri Nunn). They are New Wave and famous for "Take My Breath Away." Try em'. Hint: "Pink And Velvet" from Count To Three and Pray, with one of David Gilmour's best solos.

Kate Bush has got a premium in this neck of the woods
Not from a prog band but delightful singer and gorgeous I agree. Now back to female prog bands to keep the sanity.
Then there is the space Witch from Gong - Shakti Yoni
hmmmm.... listen to 'I am Your Pussy' again now!

Oh, I am sorry I had missed that capitalized declaration that Bush is prog...nah, definitely not...I agree, she's not prog, that's why she's in PR. But since she's on PA, I picked her anyway, sorry!

Beg your pardon, what is the source of confusion here? I know she's a solo artist.

Top eight:
Curved Air
Jefferson Airplane
String Driven Thing
Its a Beautiful Day
Renaissance
Affinity
Babe Ruth
Magic Carpet
If the traditional folk bands included there are a heap of others (Fairport, Trees, Fotheringay, Pentangle, Spriguns of Tolgus, Spirogyra, Tudor Lodge etc) but i've never been quite sure how they qualify as prog.

If I were to pick Renaissance it would be for Jane Relf.
