^ As a matter of fact, I have some of their albums already. I have the first album, Living in the Past, and Songs from the Wood. As well as some live ones, Live: Bursting Out, Live in Montreux, and Living with the Past. As a matter of fact, Aqualung and Heavy Horses are two of the albums I'm considering next, as well as Thick as a Brick. Now, to tell you the truth, I have mostly liked the live versions of their songs better (and the ones from Live at Montreux and Living with the Past rock so cool), so I was considering to get the live version of Aqualung first (though I know that may sound as sacrilege to most, and most will recommend me not to do such a thing), however, I'll see what I do. Since I liked the way the band from those two last live albums played, I'm also considering to get Dot Com and From Roots to Branches.

yeah,its got to be thijs van leer for me too, -the emotion of some of those focus songs -always brings tears to the eyes! i"d also say the guy in asia minor is a personal favourite. i prefer ian anderson"s flute on tull"s proggy albums "thick as a brick" and "a passion play"- amazing!

Mel Collins of King Crimson is my favourite and obviously Peter Gabriel is a Flute God.

Wow this is turning into quite the flute salad

Ian Mc'Donald (King Crimson) certainly. Not just for his technic, but cause he does a diferent sound of the rest of progressive flute players, whose generaly uses a variation of folk/rock/pseudo-symphonic melody. I should say that flute wasnt made for rock - ok, what ian anderson did was cool -, but the combination of smooth rock and flute its very nice, as we can listen in works like Gotic - Escenes (i dont remember the name of the flutist).

Jacques Harrison from the Canadian band Dillinger and then later of The Hunt. I'm not saying that he's in the top 20. Also played keys and sax.

Gonna be a bit predictable and go with Adrián Terrazas-González, I also love his sax playing and what he can do to a set of bongos.

Also, Ian McDonald.

I know there are many more I have yet to have the pleasure of, and I will check some of those mentioned in this thread.
