Still don't know why Steve Rothery isn't included in this poll. Are you saying he's too good and so it wouldn't be a contest? For the record I like all three guitarists in this poll and give it to Mike Holmes.

I listened to Jadis yesterday, I agree, great guitar work. 
 in fact I was thinking to create a neo-prog poll. Smile Jadis included.

I'll vote for Nick Barret. He's a great lead player, and somewhat 'underrated' although Pendragon are my least favourite neo prog act out of those.

John Mitchell is also excellent, although I much preferred Frank Dunnery in It Bites. He was an exceptional guitarist.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Agree that all 3 are great, but Mike Holmes gets my vote by a considerable way.

He would also get my vote if Mr. Rothery WAS in the poll...

All three are great, so this is a difficult one.

Nick Barrett, I think.

Mike Holmes is fantastic but I love John Mitchell as well. Never bothered that much with Pendragon so don't know Barrett very well.
Not sure if Magenta are classed as 'Neo' but Chris Fry is another one worthy of mention.

Now, this could be very useful for specific sound effects...

Not listed, but if he was included, my vote would go to Niall Matthewson (from Pallas fame).
But from these three Mike Holmes (I actually don't remember hearing farting crows in IQ's music, though...).
