I voted other and was going to call it a toss up between Frank Zappa and Andy Powell (Wishbone Ash) but then noticed that Frank Zappa was an option ![]()

Best prog guitarist eh.
If we're going by just pure technical merit here, then Buckethead, Zappa and Fripp are the main contenders. However, if we're judging by guitar solo-wankery, then the choice becomes a lot harder... ...oh **** it, Buckethead for the win.

I have to go for Steve Rothery, cos for me he typifies the sound of the resurgence of prog in the early to late 80s, with bands like Pallas, Pendragon, IQ and of course Marillion coming more into the public consciousness. Listen to his work on "Grendel", "Chelsea Monday" or Lost weekend", and then listen to him on their current album, "Happiness is the road" -- the boy's still got it!
To paraphrase Mark Knoplfer, he can make that guitar cry or sing...

I haven't heard much, but I've actually heard a little Camel. I don't remember the guitar work, but my old history teacher gave me one of their albums. I should go look that up, I miss it. I loved Spirit of the Water.
