I have a theory: your friend is ...(insert a word of your choice here)... ¿How can anyone hate music because of the sexual identity of it's creator?.

And the Cello player from Anekdoten... mhhh... I don't know if Sigur Rós's vocalist also plays something, but she is very good. Thinking... I think one of The Residents is a girl, wich is quite something. I don't know. The gender of musicians is not important for me. And, as far as I know, it is allways better to have a lot of women around...  ...

Certainly there are. To name a few: Lindsay Cooper - bassoon (played with Henry Cow, Slap Happy and Steve Hillage, for example) Georgie Born - cello (plays on albums of Henry Cow, Bruford and National Health; also founded an all women band with Lindsay Cooper) Barbara Dennerlein - organ (fusion; she publishes albums under her own name) Ruth Underwood - percussion (played with Frank Zappa) Mireille Bauer - marimba, xylophone, vibraphone (played with Gong) Sophia Domancich - keyboards (played with Hatfield and the North; also solo albums and an album with Elton Dean of Soft Machine)

Curved Air
Joni Mitchell - She might not be prog but what a beautiful voice she has! Full of passion and beauty. She's also a songwriter, plays piano,guitar and paints. I usually don't like female leading voices, but she is great.
