Zappa over Wilson and Gabriel...
He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore

1a) Frank Zappa
1b) Mike Oldfield
I think that even the greatest Zappa records - Hot Rats, Waka/Jawaka, Roxy & Elsewhere, you name it - can't beat Oldfield at his best. But sheer volume of Frank's work (and his consistency in the 70s) gives him a nod.
03) Peter Hammill
04) Steve Hackett
05) Peter Gabriel

Mike Oldfield

I did expect to see Al Stewart on the list as a 'prog tinged' solo artist
