Tough for me to choose between Fripp, Zappa, Frith, Karoli and Belew. All among my favourites and masters of their respective styles but hardly comparable to each other. Fred Frith might be my favourite guitarist generally but more for his free improv stuff.
Edit: Imho including Can in a prog list is wrong(ish).

In hindsight my biggest f*ck up with this poll was not including Allan Holdsworth, an incredible player who played with so many bands in the 70s, he was like the Forrest Gump of prog.
Also I would have left out John Petrucci and for other reason than I f*cking hate Dream Theater and wouldn't be able to resist the urge to bully anyone who voted for him.

Out of the ones you listed I would have to go with Alex Lifeson. But then Rush is my favourite prog group so that's a given. Jan Akkerman would be my next choice though, guy has a totally unique and instantly recognisable playing style.

I voted Martin Barre because I'm a JT fan (seen 3 times) and have even seen Martin on a solo tour which was amazing.
I think that people forget (or never knew) what a juggernaut Jethro Tull was back in the day. Between '71 and '75 they had 5 top 10 albums in the U.S. with two being #1 . Their live album "Bursting Out" is Martin and the band firing on all cylinders. Recommended. This video from Madison Square Garden is a nice sample of the band's prowess. |
