Three of my fav's and they are all a "Steve H" how about that?

There's plenty of Steve's in the musical world(including Stevie Nicks) but are there more than 3 Steve H's?

Oh and Mr. Hillage for me

Steve Hogarth not included?

Well, anyway, Hillage gets my vote (for 'Fish Rising' alone). It could be any of the other 2 as well (3 geniuses, hard to make a choice).

Steve Howe is under-rated IMO.

He can play different styles, and incorporates them all into Yesmusic with a sound that is definitely his own.Yes is guitar music predominantly and it his leads that define the music. If Yes are so good surely that reflects positively on Mr Howe.

Maybe if his name was Steve Rothery I guess.

Steve Howe all the way.

Not his greatest work, but had it not been for Howes' leads in Yes' Tales, Tales would have been a disaster rather than a controversy of an album. Howes' work on other Yes classics, in particular Relayer, Fragile and the Yes Album, is just fabulous.

But, although Howe is an amazing guitarist and his imput in Yes is essential, his solo career is not as interesting as Hackett's. So I go for the latter.

I really like all of the three!

But Hillage's GREEN (1978) is seemed like my favorite album of all the three discographies...

Are you including the long period before Yes, during which Howe paid his dues? e.g

Tomorrow,

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00000IBDY/qid=1103 287713/sr=2-2/ref=sr_2_11_2/026-3256401-3420413

Bodast,

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000000828/qid=1103 287488/sr=1-5/ref=sr_1_11_5/026-3256401-3420413

For snapshots of pre-Yes period also try Howe's Mothballs:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000061AT/qid=1103 287488/sr=1-6/ref=sr_1_11_6/026-3256401-3420413

and I'm lead to believe Howe contributed to probably the first pop/rock opera Mark Wirtz's Teenage Opera:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000006YZZ/qid=1103 287791/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_10_1/026-3256401-3420413

I thought I had already replied on this pole, guess not.

For me it is steve Howe, though I'm beginning to think better of Steve Hackett every day. i think his influence on the Genesis sound is bigger than I previously thought.

Don't know much about Steve Hillage though (I never heard from him, or Gong for that matter, until I start visiting this website, I love the available download from Fish Rising "Solar Musick Suite).

I doubt any guitar player will ever come close to Jimmy Page though.

 

BTW. Great Dick, If we didn't already have you on this Forum we would have to invent you, as alway's a great lead to new things. Someone always has the trivial and the important information, thanks for Sharing Dick.

That's a tough decision to make, it would have to be Steve Howe. I saw Yes at Glastonbury last year (the first prog band I've ever seen live) and watching him play blow my head off.

Sorry - I've been too long in the academic game (as well as being pretty ancient), to avoid not throwing in the odd fact and correcting if necessary. But that's is my perception of Prog Archives: to inform and be informed (and I for one have certainly benefitted from the latter). Music radio and written media rarely provides such things to progressive rock fans.

 

I guess Danbo and I would argue against Mr Page - but not here.

Interesting point Paco and one which cannot be argued with.Howe's solo stuff is nowhere near as good, but as Reed said, Steve's guitar drives Yes's music and still does. I believe he is the master guitar man.

I gave Hillage a pity vote.  A great, painfully underrated guitarist.

Steve Hackett was the man that kept Genesis alive, not even Peter Gabriel's departure affected Genesis so much as Steve's.

Steve Hackett has a more prolific and succesfull solo career than Steve Howe, and not because he sold out (not saying Steve Howe  sold out) but even when he kept faithful to the genre. Genesis without Hackett is not Genesis, Yes without Howe doesn't sound as good as with him, but still is Yes.

Steve Hackett created a unique atmospheric sound that no other band achieved.

Hackett's accoustic albums and songs like Midnight Summer's Dream or Horizons are simply perfect.

So my vote goes for Steve Hackett.
