I'm no expert on La Femme de Prog but I would've thought Kate "I had David Gilmour play guitar for me' Bush might've rated a mention.... 'Course she might be mentioned on one of the other nine pages of topic exploration so apologies if repeated...
Maybe Jennifer Batten, and those highly talented bass players (oh and singers - Imogen Heap and ... Joss Stone? - Jeff Beck gets as well... (that Live at Ronnie Scott's DVD / CD is the business btw...)

Diamanda Galas for me. Annie Haslam has a lovely voice, but Galas's music is just astonishing. I think Amanda Palmer (of The Dresden Dolls) deserves a mention here as well.

Not sure if mentioned over 8 pages but no Maggie Reilly? Just for her singing on Mike Oldfield tunes. She may have a wonderful voice but I recommend avoiding her solo albums, unless you like anonymous programmed computer pop of course.
But for her work with the Oldfield fellow, marvellous....

Largely agree except that Rockalise off Annie in Wonderland is the best thing she ever did, far better than any Renaissance, not so much compositionally but singing-wise (and personally I don't listen to Renaissance so much for the compositional aspects where they are not so interesting). She also interpreted the traditional funeral song Going Home magnificently in that album.
