And for the poll: Only because of you, but the others are great, too.
but what would you say is the core essence of Rogers music, everyone have it easy to explayn Ricks style (jazzy-bluesy-funky), but what genre is Rogers consist of ( i am tired of hearing "that typical old SP sound" i think Rogers sound is as neuanced and defining as Ricks, while Ricks songs are heavyer, harder and darker bluesy, jazzy and more direct, Roger is mysterious, calm and reflected, with folk, psych and more of the poppy jazz sound,

But it actually is "that typical old SP sound". That's why I wondered Roger is put in a different category than Supertramp...

outside one track on Rites Of Passage with Terry Riley, most of his solo songs are not prog per se.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
