where are the WOMEN?

Over the years I have come to prefer the female voice in music. I just think the style blends in very nicely with certain types of prog. In the latest issue I notice there is virtually a complete blank on

anything female. This seems to be a continuing trend with this magazine. Just wondering what you think? Also, during time I have been buying Prog I don’t recall Roger Chapman and Family ever getting a mention. Correct me if I’m wrong. Just because they are my favourite band of all time is irrelevant. So please, something on Family – very prog, especially in the early days. Roger is celebrating 50 years in music, so the timing would be perfect.

We’ve covered lots of women in prog over the years, Stephen – just look at the small selection of images to the left. Also, do check out our feature on some of the most innovating women in prog in this very issue on page 80, and our in-depth Sonja Kristina interview on page 94. – Dep Ed
