So, as the festive period is here, which prog rock "star" would make the best Father Christmas?
You've got to have the physique, the beard, a nice hat and be very jolly and generous.
I think Ian Anderson would take some beating...
What does everybody else think. By the way, if you look at this and don't bother posting, I have only one thing to say, Bah! Humbug.

Robert Wyatt. He would be a FANTASTIC santa. May I suggest Heather Findlay to be the angel on top of the tree?

I propose Phil Collins to be the baby jesus. He just has that infant look about him

| It would have to be Greg Lake (with false beard). He has the size now, and the song. |

without question
though if Santa wants to be all hip and funky and swaps his beard for a trendy goatee...

 but if you're looking for someone to play Father Christmas, it has to be Clive Nolan:
 ...or yours truely...
 and just to preserve this image for after Xmas when Mrs Fripp shall return to my sig....

Ouch!!! That's going to leave a mark. I do agree though. Father time and his eating habits haven't been good to Greg. |

In this moment I'm coming to the realization that I've never seen Deen, Wyatt, and Santa together at the same time, oops, wrong thread. On an unrelated note, I'm dreaming of a wet Christmas... http://www.weather.com/weather/wxdetail/30033?dayNum=2 - Thu

 If I read that correctly, Micky said "If today I hadn't promised Raff to marry her, I'd make a pass at Dean"?????Congrats by the way - Raff. ------------- http://www.iskcrocks.com" rel="nofollow - ISKC Rock Radio I stopped blogging and reviewing - so won't be handling requests.
