Guess...... Ian Anderson ;) As flautists, there's obviously no contest; and as singers, I've to go with personal preferences, and I barely stand Gabriel's voice and style of singing. Then, uncle Ian by gazillion miles

Refusal to desist from stalkery, what would the admin group say?

Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?

Well it is inferiour to Thick as a Brick... something like the Mont Blanc is inferior to the Everest.

I would vote Anderson only for Thick as a brick and some other tracks. Gabriel has Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot and Selling England on his shoulders. And he's my vote..

You're quite right ...
but I don't think flute-playing Ian would look better than flute-playing Gabby (pre-obscene costumes/ persona).

Didnt mean to fail you too bad!
Anyways, if were talking about vocal range and skill, there is no comparison, Ian destroys Gabriel. Songwriting skills is a different story.
I'll vit Ian just cause!

Anderson all the way! I've never been a fan of Gabriel's singing... come to think of it: I don't think he's above mediocre with his flute neither. Anderson has got a very distinctive style to his playing. It's really weird and quirky, but unique and innovative. I like his singing too.
Gabriel is extremely good on stage! Probably the most adventurous performer in rock-history. Anderson is the greatest! No amount of costume changes and effects can beat good old fashioned charisma.

Those Andersons are all alike, I don't think you can tell them apart.

Ian Anderson better by a mile.
Better Flautist...is there even a contest?
Better stage presence..this can be argued, but he was humorous and Gabriel was just...Gabriel.
I do prefer Gabriel's voice

Oops, misread, though it was Jon  . In which case, both are good, but I still prefer Gabriel.
