Trevor Rabin? Really? He's good, but that's a shocking choice to say the least.

I love those weird solos he does though.

Alex Lifeson for me, hands down. He's widely underrated simply because he's in a band with two of the best musicians to ever play their instruments. His dynamics and feeling for the mood is absolutely incredible. The three solos in 2112 show this perfectly, throughout the story which the song tells, three different moods are focused upon and Lifeson's solo work in each section of the story really shoves the emotion down your throat. One of the best and my personal favorites.

I wanted to vote for Steven Wilson so badly...but I voted for David Gilmour...maybe in a decade Steven

Yeah im not suprised Gilmour is dominating. I think its the obvious choice for most people.

well, in my opinion, i see Mastodon and Between the Buried and Me as Progressive these days, so the lead guitarists from those bands, Brent Hinds and Paul Waggoner


i came really close to some of the other choices on the poll though

I still can't believe I voted for John Petrucci back then... /facepalm

Well I was about to alter Petrucci's votes and send him spiralling into the negatives but it seems poll editing has been buggered since the forum upgrade. :(

Whenever it's fixed, rescind my vote please :thumb:

I'm listening to Caravan right now and I can't believe I left Pye Hastings out.

Kinda wish I had voted for Fripp back then rather than Buckethead, but I definitely still like the latter....darn it! :banghead:
