The Ectophiles' Goddesses: Tori Amos; Kate Bush; Veda Hille; Sarah McLachlan; Happy Rhodes; Jane Siberry.
Kate Bush: "One of the Ectophiles' goddesses. Ethereal experimental, evocative/eclectic pop. Sometimes one of the beautiful and fierce."

In Wicca and related Neo-pagan religions, the Triple Goddess is held in particular reverence, and her three aspects are most often portrayed as being of different ages: Maiden, Mother and Crone.
Maiden (Waxing Moon)
Among Pagans, "The Maiden" represents enchantment, inception, expansion, the promise of new beginnings, birth, youth and youthful enthusiasm.
Mother (Full Moon)
The Mother represents ripeness, fertility, sexuality, nurturance, fulfillment, stability, power and life.
Crone (Waning Moon)
The Crone represents wisdom, repose, death, and endings. It is a term of respect and honor. Like the moon which waxes once again after the new moon and like in the year, where spring always follows winter. The Crone is an end, but she is always followed by the Maiden once more. It is death and rebirth, representing the common pagan belief of reincarnation as well as the renewing cycles of the moon and of the year.
So which Music Goddesses represent your Triple Goddess?
My fun three would be:
Maiden: Kate Bush
Mother: Joni Mitchell
Crone: Dory Previn
