I might add that Chrisian Zander would challenge Anderson on this, but i suspect the constitution would disqualify the insane.

I'm not familiar with the constitution of progland but i suspect that being dead may disqualify Zappa. 
 
The qualities presidents of all countries need are: a huge ego, ambition to match, a poorly developed sense of humour and an ability to wear people into submission.
 
I think Jon Anderson is the one on the list best endowed with these attributes.

Fun Game!

I voted Neil Peart for his thoughtfulness and  seeming sincerity.

At one time I would have voted Ian Anderson without hesitation, but of late he's said things that disappoint me.

Frank Zappa is by far more qualified than any of the other canidates.
 
Here's a very interesting link of Frank on Crossfire from 1986. Take the time and watch it. really good stuff.
 
Also Frank's testimony before congress on censorship.

Vander is on the list actually, end yes of course Vander should be the ruler of 99.99% bands that he has nothing in common with! In the end we'd have a billion bands sounding like Koenjihyakkei or ZAO! My vote goes to Vander

One not on the list that would be absolutly fu**ing insane (and he'd probably drive everyone else crazy too) is Christian VanderLOL But of the choices on the list, I'd have to say it's the almighty Zappa over Fripp, since one of them has charisma and the other, besides his music, seems to be a nonexistent entity.

Not a single Floyd member in here... No Steve Howe, no Hackett...Come on!

I won't vote for this poll.

I mean that he can't improvise llolol
 
If "Reciting Scripts" is one of the criteria, then certainly Fish has Peart beat on this! Wink

Fripp's about as charismatic as a block of ice, so I think Ian Anderson or Fish would be the best.

My heart votes for Peter Hammill, but the real winner would be Jon Anderson - he has already been succesful governor of Yes, Brian Lane and Eddie Offord would produce great campaign for him
 
Robert Fripp would say - "I was betrayed back in 1970 in America by Ian McDonald and Michael Giles so f**k these progressive mainstream dunderheads" and he would resign from election 
yet you still have time!

Peter Gabriel, because he's good in unusual lyrics, experimental music which at the same time could appeal to many people, he's good as it comes to theatre, he doesn't stand still in his music: is progressive in the true sense of the word; he has a very remarkable voice; he is a good songwriter and a skilled musician, and a visionary artist. All in one. Peter for president!
