exept of Rick and Roger the other dudes are rarely mentiond, or know but their have been many skilled people in the band.
 
Some of them need more attention then others, but first and formost, their is three dudes that are standing out, the three Musceteers, that were the classic lineup, those who gave SP their signature sound, the poignant style, but who is the most important contributer to that. who is the sound (exept for Rick and Roger) of SP, who gave the classic SP their signature sound, gave them the distict sound that few other band had,
 
also this is the band member list so you have a clue whos in and whos out

I did a similar poll already:

My vote goes to John Helliwell because it is the inclusion of wind instruments that makes this band special, among others.
