All Time Prog Hero
For me it is a toss up between Jon Anderson and Peter Gabriel. Yes and Genesis being my favourite bands.
Jon for his voice. There is no one that can get close in my opinion.
Peter for his sheer inventiveness and quirkiness

Gabriel for prog heroism. He was/is the face of prog - eccentric, over the top, and yet clearly possessing both musical ability and a sense of humour.

Hammill, without a doubt. one of the most creative musicians in prog.
he has a huge output, with some 40+ solo albums and about a dozen
albums with VdGG (I'm already counting the forthcoming live album of
the RFH gig, which is overdue and should be out any day now). and of
course he is THE VOICE

Without any hesitation Peter Gabriel because of his mindblowing stage antics during early Genesis and his wonderful first 4 studio albums and Peter Gabriel Plays Live  !

Ian Anderson.
Charismatic frontman, good sence of humour, great range of emotions.

It's Fripp in this case, if you had another choice I'd go for Steve Howe.

this question is a bit "puerile"...well, let's say Florian Frike for his philosophy of music
Mr Bern, who is the girl on your signature?
