Personally I dont like these female voices in metal but some ones would be: After Forever, Within Temptation, Epica, Without Face, Mostly Autumn (?)

Blackmore's Night, really great band, Ritchie Blackmore's solo project with his wife on vocals. Fires At Midnight would be a good place to start if you want to start listening to them.
I'm actually going to be starting a prog band with a female vocalist, cuz well...I think it's awesome shit. I don't know of a lot of really good bands like that (Which is one of the reasons why I'm starting this band), but some personal favorites are Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, Sinergy, and Lullacry (not as "metal"). If I could think of more, I'd tell you, but I'm at a loss, so yeah.
It's hard for me to get into metal bands with female vocals, since I'm so used to hearing male voices. Don't bother with Arch Enemy. I'd say Within Temptation is pretty good, but I can't listen to their stuff for too long because it starts to get on my nerves. Other bands to listen to include ABBA, Heart, and The Carpenters. Enjoy!

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Edenbridge. I think they are amazing, and the album Arcana is extremly good from start to finish. I view them as a much more mature Nightwish, and stylistically it's more melody and atmosphere based. Their newest album is horrid, but the first two are really good, and I would highly recommend at least Arcana to any melodic metal/prog fan

I saw them opening up for Symphony X here in Holland. I honestly thought they were the worst prog-metal band I've ever heard in my entire life. That old woman who sings for them really can't sing live.Emanuele said:

veto after forever and epica. They are good, but have the "heavy" male vocals that luis was bitching about.

I know you're out there
There is a band I have brought up before that is female fronted and the band even is described as being halfway between Nightwish and Lacuna Coil. The band is called Mercury Rain and their official forum is actually here on UM, give them a try. They are still not too well known because they don't have a label and do pretty much everything themselves, but they are good enough that Therion has them opening for them on their most recent tour.
