For me it has to be Steve Hackett. I don't think he has released a bad album; even his lesser works are interesting. He has remained truly progressive, and shown off his talent in many different styles. At his best he is as good as his old band, and he has also established excellent longevity, being more popular than ever with his fellow musicians. One of the few true giants of the genre.Smile

Yngwie J. Malmsteen. Seriously. He has a very good career, in my opinion. The debut, Marching Out, Trilogy, Odyssey, Alchemy, and the Concerto album are great albums. Fire and Ice, Attack, and Unleash the Fury aren't bad. I'd say they're good albums, too. Eclipse is meh, ok. Facing the Animal is pretty mediocre. I haven't heard any other of his albums, yet, but The Seventh Sign is supposed to possibly be his best post 80s album. The only other studio albums are Magnum Opus and War to End All Wars, and I've heard some great stuff from those albums. I've heard some mixed opinions on Inspiration, but I have no doubt Trial by Fire, Live, and The Genesis are enjoyable albums as well. 
 
Since when did Yngwie (gå släng dig i väggen ) Malmsteen, have anything to do with prog Confused
...NÅ!

Rising Forse, the Malmsteen covers on Inspiration are really good. His covers of Kansas Carry on Wayward Son and Rush´s Anthem are excellent.
His debut and Concerto have a lot of prog moments, although not considered a prog artist he has done a lot of prog stuff.
