This would probably be better accepted in the non-metal forum.

If you like female vocalists:

Fairport Convention (folk rock)
Pentangle (folk)
Rilo Kiley (they're only good when Jenny sings, in my opinion)
Clannad (Irish folk)
Moya Brennan (Enya's sister; better, in my opinion)

That's all I can think of right now.

Then of course:
Pink Floyd
Genesis
Jethro Tull
