Probably, Steven Wilson, if you think that he is only Porcupine Tree or his solo albums, you are totally wrong!, he has made a lot of albums under different projects, under different names and collaborations with other legends.

Go to this link and see his entire discography up too 2012 (500 pages)

Met him ... don't need to tell you anymore!
 
There is only one hero I have, and you likely would not get it ... Chuck Jones, and I have written 2 other scripts for Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Century ... and he was someone I got a chance to talk to and enjoy!
 
Progressive music ... that guy had more "progressive" in his finger tips than all the music in the world!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Agreed. And for all the reasons listed. Thumbs Up

Brian May...not only a great guitarist, singer and songwriter, but also an astrophysicist.  Cool
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I'm saying this as a writer/musician: I would not want to be another musician. That's like having a burger and a tub of ice-cream and turning them both into just a burger. Each one of us has some missing pieces to add to the overall musical puzzle, a character (or multiple characters) to put on record. I do imitate other musicians, however. Recently, I've been getting into Springsteen and Walter Becker's guitar work, so I'd try and imitate their styles, learn from these guys.

Hard question. Robert Fripp or Jimi Hendrix, wish he didn't die. Then there's Peter Gabriel. I'd have been happy being a roadie for aforementioned bands and experience the late 60's, early 70's prime of prog first hand, plus the whole culture.

Robert Fripp.

Because he can play any musical genre he wants to.

Tony Banks, without a doubt.
His musical interpretation is closest to what I would like to be able to do, but don't have the imagination or thought to achieve.

Rick Wakeman on the other hand - I appreciate his vast skill, but it always seems to me that he plays too many notes. Why play one note when 20 will do?

I mentioned that to the guitarist in my band, and he suggested that I have the same tendency, which is probably true (except I can only manage 10 to Rick's 20 ).
