Dave Stewart is a Canterbury legend, participating in 5 (!!!) great prog bands in his career.  Pick your favorite. 

Mine is Egg, Arzachel is amazing as well.....oh, hell they are all great

Hard to choose between Hatfield & Health really, but I think I'll go for Hatfield, if only because of Richard Sinclair. Everything he appears on is the better for it.

I love them all, and agree that Dave Stewart is an underrated Prog genious!!!!!!!  That being said, I think that his work in National Health was the highlight of his career, at least for me.

Dave Stewart is a leg end... or course so are Pip Pyle et al. For Stewart fanatics, National Health is his finest hour, but as a bandi prefer Hatfield... but only just

 I think he also participated in Khan and a band called 'rapid eye movement'

     I adore all Nation Health and Hatfield. There's a lot of other
great musicians at work there as well, including keyboardist
Alan Gowen (with NH), and Phil Miller is my favorite guitarist at
the moment. The album "The Polite Force" by Egg though is
thoroughly Stewart through and through, and original in every
way. I can think of no one else, Emerson included that comes
up with so many ways to make a Hammond sound incredible
(maybe Larry Young with Lifetime?).

I haven't heard Uriel/Arzachel and I also agree with Froth that our boy played with Khan ... but for me, there's no doubt that the finest band he played with is Hatfield and the North ... he may have had more room to stretch out in Egg (and also at times in National Health), but Hatfield's the most enjoyable ...

Hail Dave Stewart! I picked up my first Stewart-related album when I got Bruford's 'One Of A Kind'...then I unintentionally moved backwards through his work with National Health, Hatfield & The North and Egg (haven't heard Uriel/Arzachel). After all that, I also thought this guy was a genius.

His solo in Hatfield's "Share It" is masterful.

Don't talk crap. Th Eurythmics Dave Stewart is by far superior to any prog Dave Stewart...

I cherish the 3 Bruford studio albums: Feels Good To Me, One Of A Kind and Gradually Going Tornado. Two of them are probably in my top 10 of favourite albums, and One Of A Kind probably in my top 5. Those albums are so good, all 3 of them. Great compositions and Dave Stewart is fan-tas-tic. A genius!

I also love both National Health albums and the second one, Of Queues And Cures would be in my top 10 as well.

Those are my absolute favourite Stewart-bands, but Bruford is my top favourite. And yes, I think Stewart is on a par with Emerson, Wakeman, Moraz and Jobson.
