Steve Hackett gets my vote, but not by much. All three are fantastic artists on their own right.

Hackett or Oldfield... I love both. In the end it's Steve Hackett but other day it could be MO :-) Zappa isn't my cup of tea... I've tried one or two times but he leaves me cold.

Hackett, but I don’t like not voting in favor of Zappa. So, no more polls pitting Hackett and Zappa, please.

All three have made some of the most wonderful music I've ever heard and all three have also made some absolutely unlistenable garbage in my opinion. I voted Zappa because I think the high points in his career have meant more to me... and only then did I notice the "solo only" caveat in the OP and most of those high points in his career in my opinion were put out under the Mothers moniker, but I still think his solo oeuvre just narrowly outshines that of Hackett for me.

Sir Hackett (yes, I know, he's not ennobled, but he should be.)

Steve Hackett though I have a world of respect for the other two so not an easy choice to make.

Hackett's guitar is what drew me to Genesis (also Gabriel's weird lyrics). And Hackett is probably the reason I'm a progger.
I liked his solo Please Don't Touch. And when I sprung for Lamb Lies Down later, I was buzzed to find out that Hackett was the guitarist.

this...even if his all his albums aren't perfect--and there are a lot of them---most of them just suffer from his singing--the songs and his playing are excellent.
