So, as the festive period is here, which prog rock "star" would make the best Father Christmas?
You've got to have the physique, the beard, a nice hat and be very jolly and generous.
I think Ian Anderson would take some beating...
What does everybody else think. By the way, if you look at this and don't bother posting, I have only one thing to say, Bah! Humbug.

Robert Wyatt. He would be a FANTASTIC santa. May I suggest Heather Findlay to be the angel on top of the tree?

I propose Phil Collins to be the baby jesus. He just has that infant look about him

It would have to be Greg Lake (with false beard). He has the size now, and the song.

without question
though if Santa wants to be all hip and funky and swaps his beard for a trendy goatee...
 but if you're looking for someone to play Father Christmas, it has to be Clive Nolan:
 ...or yours truely...
 and just to preserve this image for after Xmas when Mrs Fripp shall return to my sig....

Ouch!!! That's going to leave a mark. I do agree though. Father time and his eating habits haven't been good to Greg. |

In this moment I'm coming to the realization that I've never seen Deen, Wyatt, and Santa together at the same time, oops, wrong thread. On an unrelated note, I'm dreaming of a wet Christmas... Thu

Wow, Dean, if today I hadn't already promised Micky that I'd marry him, I'd make a pass at you
P.S. Micky just said the same thing .... |

 If I read that correctly, Micky said "If today I hadn't promised Raff to marry her, I'd make a pass at Dean"?????Congrats by the way - Raff. |
