Sorry progsters, it's either Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughan and I don't care if I died young.

I wish I was myself in an alternative universe where I'm a better player, have a fairly large cult following, and am Annie Clark's boyfriend.

I've always admired Jeff Beck for being true to himself and still being such a cutting edge force in the world of both rock and fusion...and he looks great at his age btw.
On the prog side I like what Wakeman has done over the years and is still going strong and has become an elder statesmen for prog these days.

I would be Tony Banks. That way I would have had involvement in creating some of the most inventive and influential progressive rock music of all-time. Not only that, but I would be one of the keyboardists that's so often sited by listeners and musicians alike as a master musician. A musician that plays for the song and not their ego.

Hi,
NONE!
I'm not them, and they are not me!
Very simple!
If you find yourself, why would you want to be someone else? You jealous?
I'm gonna put on that David Bowie song about the groupie and the star, now!

I'll have to go with Bill Bruford. Such a unique and skillful drummer with the added bonus of seemingly having been in half of all the 'classic' prog bands!

Oh Mosh, why do you have to be so serious all the time? Try to have some fun for once. I bet you wouldn't mind being Zappa.  |

^I'm not sure if Mosh has a chill zone so Zappa might be a bit too intense for him.

Definitely Johann Sebastian Bach, who composed some of the most robustly theological material ever written, could sight-read and improvise like it was nobody's business, and was arguably the greatest composer of all time. Plus, he was a Lutheran too

More a composer than a musician, but still: Alf Hurum!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alf_Hurum English Wiki doesn’t mention it, but he actually founded Honolulu Symphony Orchestra and toured with them in the USA and Europe. He died at the age of 89, probably quite happy with what he had achieved. Edited by refugee - July 21 2014 at 07:17 |

Conductor Artur Nikisch. He lived and worked at the same time as the great Late Romantic Composers in Europe like Brahms, Bruckner, Wagner, Mahler, Elgar, etc, and was able to premiere some important works of theirs. Imagine being able to conduct Bruckner's 7th Symphony for the first time! Nikisch did.
