People to meet:
Neil Peart
Dave Gilmour or Rick Wright (not Waters, he's too ornery)
Ian Anderson
Peter Gabriel
Adrian Belew (not Fripp, he's too ornery)
Geddy Lee
The 2 Steves (Howe and Hackett)
Fish
Brian Eno
Peter Hamill
Bill Bruford
Kate Bush
Tony Levin
My vote for "Idol" would be Mr. Gabriel to be sure...

Frank Zappa, John Lennon, and Jimi Hendrix. Yes, I realize one hated prog, another was rooted mainly in pop, and the third died before prog even showed up on the radar screen... but those are the people I aligned with while I was growing up.
If you really need a 100% prog idol... I don't know. Robert Fripp, I suppose. I admire his commitment to his craft, if not his fans.

Peter Hammill. Nobody (except perhaps Zappa) explored so many different areas of music as he did, and yet there is something typically "Hammillish" (or "Hammillesque"?) about all of his recordings.

I love ELP for the co-operation of Emerson & Lake, Pink floyd the same with Waters & Gilmour, Genesys in the 70's , Perter Hamill for his sole work And with VDGG, Robert Wyatt and so many others.
But for me, Robert Fripp is something special. With many diferent musicians he kept (and still does) composing music which is at least fantastic.
I am curious what a co-operation between him and Emerson sound like.

Yeah, the way he plays the keys. I mean, Wakeman and Moraz are good too, but Emerson is an incredible composer as well.

Simon Cowell wouldn't have a clue about the Prog auditions he would say CRAP throughout...
Shame that as his taste in music seems to be as lame as a cheap packet of crisps.

The Beatles playing "Revolver" (the whole album)
live with full arrangements, including the tape machines at "Tomorrow
Never Knows". Let us dream... 
In a more realistic way, Van Der Graaf Generator. But i think this dream will come true very soon...

I forgot Neil Peart. How? How did I forget on of the
greatest drummers of all time. His skills in "Animate" inspire me
more than any other Rush song.
