Worst-Dressed Proggers

Perhaps it's a touchy subject, but I recall in the 70's a lot of people being
turned off to progressive bands merely because of their wardrobes, since
visual presentation was and is so overly important in rock music. In the US,
the attitude was often that real rockers wore black leather and tank tops,
and those British guys are a bunch of fairies, lumping prog and glam-rock in
the same basket. OK, it was dumb and unfair, but it must be admitted that
some proggers were somewhere in the outer fargonosphere of good taste.
Peter Gabriel was the most outlandish, but very interesting and original in
his surrealistic costumes. On the other hand (while intending no disrespect
toward their impeccable, influential playing), some Yes members made at
times a rather silly impression in their galactic pajamas, and Steve Hackett is
certainly quite special in that interstellar leisure suit. My nomination would
go to Chris Squire, but I'm sure there are other suggestions.

I BETTER NOT HEAR PETER GABRIEL'S NAME IN HERE,OR ELSE...

you guys are bashing squire and rick LOOK AT GABRIAL AND IS FLOWER CONSTUME OR maybee HIS ELPhantitis CONSTUME GEEZE

I SAID NO MOCKING OF GABRIEL'S SUITE...THAT MAN WAS DAMN GENIUS CHOOSING THAT STYLE OF DRESSING ON STAGE...

I couldn´t agree more. Just take a look:

I think Tull's outfits on the "A" tour were pretty terrible, especially Eddie Jobson's!
