I'm the worst prog fan ever. Only just now learned that Wake played 'tron on "Space Oddity". |

can anyone explain what criteria is being used? If it's hair, then I would probably have to go with Wakeman's flowing golden locks. If it's not hair, then what?

Surely that doesn't surprise you but sadly , no, they are not kidding you at all. Simply because of the formidable size of his output and the incredible quality of his work Eno stands out like a bright shining beacon but I'd even put Harper and Wyatt ahead of Hammill .... damn it all probably even Wakeman. ------------- Andrew B “Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.

My vote goes for that Hammill Guy. Brian Eno would be a very close second. They're all brilliant dudes though ------------- "Hey there, Dog Man, now I drink from your bowl." |

Wakeman because he looks like me (I have been mistaken for both him and Chris Squire in the past) and he's a grumpy old sod like me. Pity he's so f*****g right wing, though (not like me!). I also like Eno a lot. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Fripp is a winner. He can go win in another poll with Gabriel, Waters and the two Andersons. ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

Went to a San Francisco modern art exhibit that was accompanied by Eno's ambient music, and it absolutely bored the s' out of me. Just awful. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

Actually, you are certainly right about Fripp and Gabriel, they would win just about any poll around here. But not Waters nor Jon Anderson, not on this site anyway (though I do prefer them both over Fripp and Gabriel). Ian Anderson I guess would win many polls, but I guess he's not in the same league as the first two on this site. I guess, for another winner, you might just as well add Bruford. |
