But since he's from Floyd, I guess he's considered a prog guitarist? I don't know. I'm not trying to hate on him, I'm a big fan. Also, if John McLaughlin is included then why not Santana? McLaughlin was more proggy but as already mentioned he was just as much a fusion guitarist, as was Santana. Santana was just bluesier.

Meh. I used that logic when I called Asia a prog band. Though I suppose it could possibly work here too. Floyd being a prog band doesn't necessarily mean the guitarist is proggy. I don't know. my knowledge in this isn't very wide. It's mostly assumption.

Ya I agree. I don't necessarily think just because he was in Floyd qualifies him as a prog guitarist.

Looking at the poll, some very good picks up there, which makes it very difficult to choose. Gonna go with Steve Howe on this one followed by Steven Wilson.

Wow what a lot of names on this poll, one doesn't know where to start.

I had the same problem. I was going to choose Steven Wilson because of how underrated of a musician he is. Than I wanted to choose the guitarist of Marillion for the fact of how influential they are. It was a tough one.

I voted for Robert Fripp.

I'd probably vote Robert Fripp, it actually says I've already voted which must have been ages ago.......no idea who I voted for.

I don't listen to King Crimson enough to give a viable opinion on him, however he does play very well.
