As of this moment he is tied in second place with Fripp himself, not bad at all (I don't usually see him getting so much apreciation on classic rock threads).


Steve Howe's guitar sound is definitely one of the reasons I can't get along with a lot of their stuff. Now, Trevor Rabin, that's a different matter..

Hackett for sure
Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

For his work in the 70s, Howe. If it were the more recent output, I would have voted Hackett.

If acoustic performances were taken on a par with electric ones, then Ant Phillips should be doing much better than this.

No Trevor Rabin? Yet other bands other guitarists get a mention.

Trevor Rabin did not join Yes till 1983; this poll only covers the period 1967-79.

I assume it is regarding the amount of guitarists that would need to be acknowledged, and the fact that there are only 25 spaces in the poll. 🤔

Much more turnover of personnel, plus prog searching for direction after that little upstart called punk tried to upset the applecart.
