Favorite guest appearance on a prog album? - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Peter Banks guested on the song "Hello" by Lionel Richie, his solo begins at 3:30. Very emotional, tasteful, not a note wasted.

I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!!

Darryl Way of Curved Air playing violin on Jethro Tull's "Acres Wild." Great track.

...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

Phill Collins making a vocal appearance on Steve Hackett's
"Star of Sirius"

"Together We Stand, Divided We Fall"

I love Steve Hackett's Hoping Love Will Last from Please Don't Touch with Randy Crawford on vocals.

Robert Fripp on Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill

Steve Hunter performs all the guitar parts on "Solsbury Hill". Fripp has acknowledged this.

I'm a huge fan of the late, great Peter Banks, and he was known for inviting many guests including:

a) Tony Kaye on the debut "Flash" LP (pity that Tony was never made a permanent band member!)

b) John Wetton, Phil Collins, Jan Akkerman and others on his solo LP "Two Sides of Peter Banks"

He also was a frequent guest on other musician's projects! What an interesting fellow, RIP Peter!

My favorite guest appearance on a prog album is when Mark Andrews played keyboards on Richelieu's Prayer 2012 on the album Beyond the Realms of Euphoria by Galahad.
