Schon. He's got the touch as he showed with early Journey. I also have the albums he did with Jan Hammer (Schon & Hammer), and those tend toward the prog side in the vein of Jeff Beck and Steve Morse.

I finally got around to voting in my own poll. Good to see everyone enjoying it.

I voted for Carter Beauford, too. Definitely one of the best drummers to come along in a long time. Very dynamic style.

Carter Beauford is so good. A drummer who can play well in different times is so important for prog. Carter Beauford in a prog band would be awesome.

He could do prog, maybe. But I wouldn't listen to anything by him.

Someone mentioned RHCP, I think they could pull it off if they really tryed to do prog, but from the list I voted Dave Grohl, but for his drumming not his singing/guitar playing.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

If you could get Carter Beuford to be in a prog band, he and Neil Peart would tear up all the other genres! Wink

Oh yeah, I forgot, I actually voted for "other" that other being Roland Orzabal (Tears for Fears) I had to go check the archives to see if they were there, (they are not) If you don't believe how prog they are check out "Raoul and the kings of Spain" even the "sowing the Seeds" album............so prog!
Great stuff, really great!

hmmm, I would like to see Mike McCready prog out!
I really enjoy Pearl Jam stuff,

but Chris Martin............smug, whingey, irresponsible, selfish little git I would say. So if that could be prog, then yes, i agree with him also.

I´d say Mike McCready as he has a bit unconventional attitude ( I think)

 This is a really tough call, but I'll have to go with Neal Schon only because he was in the original Journey along with fellow Santana mate Greg Rollie.
 
 I give an "honorable mention" to Chris Martin, for the reason cited earlier in this poll: that Coldplay is approaching a more prog sound.

True, but he's played with more non Prog acts methinks.
