A close one between Waters and Hammill for me, but i'm feeling Roger today.

In the Shadow of the Hierophant. 
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Hackett, Wakeman, SWilson.

Wilson by a molecule over Hackett, followed by Hammill, Waters and finally Wakeman. Never liked Criminal Record very much.

I'll have to vote for Voyage, one of my favorite albums of all time. Amused might be second, Criminal Record third. I never got into Hammill for some weird reason.

I give the edge to Roger Waters over Steve Hackett. The SW and PH albums are also good.

A Criminal Record s appropriately named. Hamill's singing has the same effect on me as fingernails scraping down a blackboard, so he's out. I've never really liked Water's solo stuff (including The Wall).

That leaves us with the two Steves. If Mr Wilson's effort had been Hand Cannot Erase, I would probably have chosen that, but TRTRTS is weaker, so I'll choose the lovely Voyage of the Acolyte.
A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

Acolyte. 
I like "Amused" so much and IMO this is the best of "Post 80's" albums from Pink Floyd (band and solo albums). Peter Hammill have too many! albums. "In Camera" is his one of  Top 5 albums (IMO).

Criminal Record is criminally under-rated; Hackett's solo debut irritated the hell out of Banks (allegedly)

A toss between Hackett and Wilson. 

I went with Steve Hackett, probably because I'm seeing him soon. Also, I'm listening to "Blackfield V" right now, and it's making me forget how amazing his other stuff is. Not that the new album is particularly bad... It's even good... to a certain level... maybe it will grow on me..............
