Okay, we all have our own opinions on who are the best bands in
progressive rock, but who is the coolest-looking?

This is based on style and demeanor. Their method of playing their
respective instruments (vox included) is important too.

I personally think Steve Hackett circa Foxtrot-era (with the glasses) wins,
but Nick Mason from the "Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii" film is a close
second.

I always thought Neal Morse and NDV were cool on stage together...
Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Mike Portnoy from Dream Theater. I mean c'mon, the man embodies what it means to be a rock star, and the fact that he has the chops to maintain a superior talent makes him the coolest prog-rocker by far (the rest of Dream Theater don't fall too far behind...except for John Myung ).

The dudes from Pain of Salvation look pretty badass as well

The Two Steves win hands down, both for the 'coolness' factor and the sheer shock value of their faces/attire/glasses which IMHO defines prog rock!

I cant decide who's the cooles of em... meby Roger

Seriusly i think Gilmour was the coolest prog rocker

And dont forget Fripp!

mmm when you start to think there where many cool prog rockers... 

In the 70's they where all cool and then came the 80's and no one was cool anymore

And not the music either...
