EDIT /// Frank Zappa & Ian Anderson were an oversight on my behalf of course they should be on the list  Doing these type of polls isn`t easy I can never get them perfect, so many phases of prog so many things to consider. By rights proto progs John Lennon should be there also ... oh well .. 25 is all they let me pick, I did my best. If who you think is the perfect Role Model isn`t listed please pick the next best candidate on the list and make a mention of who you would have gone for  This isn`t a normal pole its more discussion thread with a pole added for interest sakes

| I chose Phil Ehart, he doesn´t have lots of baggage, gets the job done (managing Kansas too) and seems pretty down to earth. Amazing drummer too (See DVD Device Voice Drum) |

I'll go with Mr. Fripp. I know a lot of people think he is stuck up. I like his mottos on life and his work ethic. If you ever check out the Crimson web site, theres always a line from a quote of his scrawled at the bottom of the web page. He says some really thoughtful stuff.

I go with Peter Gabriel, he had some problems with his voice, he worked them and make an advantage. He is bipolar, he used his own demons to create deep and intelligent lyrics. And of course I admire his reject for drugs and as Peter Hammill is a cultivated person. Iván -------------

If I were to choose naming a role model for me, it would definitely be Mr. Fripp. Probably one of the very few musicians who care a lot about what they do and the role their music is supposed to have in other people's lives. Everything he does, from his attitude on stage to every musical statement he's ever made, seems to be well thought of and faithful to a personal and coherent vision. Not to mention his seemingly neverending inspiration. But what am I saying? you all know these things already. Anyway, Jim Matheos is pretty close, basically for similar reasons (humble, inspired, obviously communicating himself through his music), but since I can't vote twice, I go for Fripp. ------------- Tous les chemins qui s’ouvrent à moi ne mènent à rien si tu n’es plus là |

well he might not be the best example of a posative role model, but he sure deserves some respect I have to go with Robert Fripp though. His determination is unbelievable. And although he may seem to be a stand offish prick, he has perfectly good reasons for doing the things he does. Like his whole thing with camera's. I can imagine it would be an annoyance to have people flashing camera's at you while you're attempting to give them some quality entertainment. ------------- Watch out where the huskies go,dont you eat that yellow snow |

Hard to think of a better prog musician to be a role model, although Chris Cutler and Brian Eno would also be good. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

I agree with The Beard,Neil Peart is not only a terrific musician but a cultured,learned and sensitive guy. Right up to Lifeson's contretemps in Naples,Florida I would have said that all the guys from Rush set great examples.Even then Lifeson was merely protecting his son (who appears to be a total ****) from heavy-handed policing. Overall most Prog Musicians appear to be well-behaved,if a little weird.. |

I don't know how anyone could vote for Fripp As for this group, I have to go with Carl Palmer. Reached the apex of his genre and instrument, and couldn't be a nicer guy. Should be sainted for putting up with Lake and Emerson for years. -------------
