I love his first solo record Concerto for Electric Violin. (Ian Mosley plays drums on the final piece.)

Many good choices but only Curved Air had Sonja Kristina. Love that voice.

Where's my beloved Horslips? Charles O'Connor is/was absolutely brilliant on violin on all of their albums. Here's the magnificent King Of The Fairies. |

I'll add the other nominees shortly. I had forgotten about Horslips. I have a couple of LPs but never added any CDs to my collection.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Could have voted for everybody but if it's violin that stands out, love the playing of Darryl Way in Curved Air.

Never listened to Bent Knee and Dixie Dregs. Mahavisnu ok, they are great but… I need time to listen better… UK: good albums but they are not the early and genuine prog… they sound like already listened… Kansas? I know only some songs by them but, in my opinion, they are not at the same level of the other bands in this poll. I cant say that Kansas is a great band. Good, ok, but not great. I cant compare Kansas with King Crismon…. So, I voted for Kc and Curved Air.

It's difficult to argue against anything Jean-Luc Ponty contributed to (as good as Jerry Goodman, Mark O'Connor, Eddie Jobson, and Geoff Richardson were). The award winning fiddler cut his teeth going toe-to-toe with Stéphane Grappelli!

Stephane Grappelli actually passed his violin on to Jean-Luc Ponty, who in turn passed it on to Didier Lockwood.

Not much of a Kansas fan. David Cross is excellent but I'm going with Jerry Goodman of Mahavishnu Orchestra. Awesome violin work!

I chose Curved Air even before I saw who was included in the poll.

Voted Jerry Goodman and Jean-Luc Ponty but would've had to think harder if you'd have included ASTURIAS, BELIEVE, and, especially, KBB. Akihisa Tsuboy is AMAZING!!!!

I'm going with Bent Knee. I've been really enjoying their music lately.
