damn, I wish I would have known more McLaughlin when I voted, he's definitely a favorite.

The early stuff with David Byron is, they played a brand of hard rock that used progressive elements.

His stuff with Mahavishnu Orchestra was pretty proggy.

McLaughlin is much too low. Ill go with buckethead, McLaughlin, gilmour and Zappa. Is gilmour really prog? Floyds music is as a whole but his guitar playing is mostly blues based. If gilmour is prog then Hendrix certainly is

I have to agree with this. Gilmour isn't very proggy but it's easy to be mislead.
