THAT'S RIGHT!! Flutist/violinist extraordinaire MAURO PAGANI would have been a hell of an option. His playing in the first 4 PFM albums was exquisite, colourful, varied, precise, energetic. But again, this Italian band was not as famous as JT, Camel, Genesis or Focus, so no wonder he hadn't appeared listed on this poll. The same goes for the late flute player in Supersister - his lines and improvs were both exquisite and funny.

Thijs van Leer gets my vote. Focus got me into progressive rock music. It is just too bad that Akkerman and Van Leer don`t get along anymore.  It is great to see Pierre van der Linden on drums again though.

Neither Thijs nor Ian, (or indeed anyone I can think of) can come close to the great DIDIER (Bloombido bad de Grass) MALHERBE.


Who's with me??.....



Yes i agree


Indeed, Didier is the king on the flute.

Unfortunately, I do not know Van Leer or have heard him...I certainly would like to. Any song suggestions? Anyways, my vote goes to Ian, but I really like the flutist from Moody Blues and Peter Gabriel.

I much prefer Anderson's style, especially on 'Thick As A Brick.'

Van Leer is technically better and more adventurous than Anderson. Tull are a great band and extremely popular but Anderson is a very good flautist, nothing special.Latimer and Gabriel are not as technically gifted but play very melodically.

But, I've said it before and I'll keep saying it until people get the message:

By the way, who plays flute on "i talk to the wind" by KC?

Ian McDonald, i think. Mel Collins took over sax and flute stuff on "Islands" and possibly "Lizard".

I voted for Anderson but only due to the lack of music i've heard by Focus. Pierre Moerlen is in my opinion better then both of them.
