Well they aren't all exactly prog... but
Eric Clapton shopped at the same store as Pink Floyd evidently...
Bill Bruford had a few awkward periods...
Great hairdo for David Bowie:
Keith Moon cleans up pretty well
Something those boys like about toilet shots:
and of course my favorite shot of Yes.... wonder if Chris Squire still has this suit:

Wrong.. I don't think all attempts at humor are childish.... You remind me of the big bully in the sandbox.. and that is childish. But like with most bullies, I realize thats just your way of making you feel better about yourself. Never been scathing of God.. so don't know how that relates.. but I do know that Greg regardless of whether he reads here or not, is not deserving of your ridicule!

Actually this is quite funny. I suppose that Greg Lake is the only rock star that has gained a little weight from the 70s and you just picked that picture out of thin air. I can pull up a few of Dave Gilmour, Chris Squire, Rick Wakeman, etc... who are actually larger than Greg... Give me a break... you selected Greg's picture as a push at me.. and you know it. You do it constantly... So I may be obsessed with Greg... but you seemed to have acquired an obsession with me... Ignorance seems rampart in your neck of the woods also... most of that crap during the "religious debate" I was just spouting off the top of my head to push your's and Maani's buttons.. and you didn't even get it.... ------------- THIS IS ELP

Yeh, right... Your serious debate was all crap from the beginning... you spouting Catholic idealogy while claiming to be atheist... and Maani completely on the opposite ends. And I didn't join the debate to have a go at you... but to see what both of you would do with a "middle of the roader".. since you both seemed to have the extremes well discussed... and as I thought.. you both could deal with the extremes, but couldn't handle the middle... Admitting that only shows how ridiculous your responses were... not my contribution.. But you go ahead and cover up your ignorance any way you can to make yourself feel better... Typical! Sorry but Maani already knows it... why would I want to bother any further.. I got my answer. Sure wouldn't put myself thru that any longer just for your entertainment. ------------- THIS IS ELP

The trouble is that Roger has this slack-jawed face that has continued through the years. I know people rag on him for his looks--but all he would've had to do to solve the problem was SMILE. Seriously, he looks all right when he smiles. But he never did. So blehhhhh.

BTW, the first Geddy Lee pic isn't horrible. The second, however...
Here's one. Michael J. Romeo from Symphony X. I love the band, but he seriously needs to tone it down here!

The problem was, this pic wasn't taken in the 80s. It was 1994 at the VERY earliest. Romeo has taken better pics than that...but on occasion he seems to need to ham it up for the camera to where it's just laughable. Then again maybe he WANTS to look silly.

One more from Symphony X. Sorry guys, the pirate look is out. Didn't you watch Seinfeld???
One of Dream Theater, from Images and Words. Boy did this ever backfire. So there's James LaBrie standing there looking cool in a T-shirt, and the rest (even Kevin Moore, with the statue-face) look WEIRD. If I were LaBrie, I'd be pretty put-off to be in a photo with this bunch, too...Portnoy's outfit especially could put your eyes out.
