Stationary Traveller from the album of the same name is also a great piece. That's their real 80s album, but I'm still quite fond of it as it was my first Camel.

Very tough choice between Zappa, Fripp, and Gilmour.

I'll... have to think about this.

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez-he is ****ing unbelievable. They are all good but Lopez just gives me the chills when he plays.

I went with Buckethead, I'm in love with him and I've barely scratched his discography.
But it was a tough choice between him, Fripp and Lopez, they're all brilliant.

What a tough one to answer. Gilmour plays the most "passionate" guitar, although he's not the most technical. I'd have to give it to one that's not even on the list. Trevor Rabin, who did a stint with YES would probably be MY favorite Prog guitarist. That guy is amazing.

Tough, and I've heard 'em all.

Still voted for Gilmour.
