There was a poll a while back called Best Prog Songwriter.  I voted Ian Anderson for that one.

But Prog Composer is very different from Songwriter.

I voted Kerry Minnear

From this list Tony Banks. He knows how to write epics but his epics always have a good sense of melody.

I wanted to vote for Jon Anderson, but he's not in the list, so Tony... this vote's for you.

Fripp is a genius...I voted for him
Zappa and Minnear are among my favorite composers  anyway

Yeah, love Wakey; along with Jon, probably my favorite Yes man.

But I had to give it to Steve, because I tend to like Yes songs better than Wakeman's solo stuff, and he wrote a lot of their material.
