All great axemen, but I,ve always had a hankering for Hackett. He put the "feel" and atmosphere into Genesis IMO.

Hillage, always a pleasure to hear his soaring guitar work

Howe, in a class of his own.

So.....my vote Hackett, but its not an easy choice!

A tough choice, but I like all 3. Steve Hillage reminds me of another guitar player that hardly anyone knows, but who had some interesting output: The late Christian Boule.

He appears on one side of the first record of Clearlight and on their release "Vision" too and also produced two solo albums that are worth being listened to, especially the first. He also played in the band of Steve Hillage for a while, as can be heard on "Live Herald".

Here the covers of his solo albums and the cover of the first Clearlight recording. (By the way, there are 2 guitar players on the first Clearlight album, one on each side (or track for the CD version); the other is Steve Hillage. One could make a quiz out of it: Play the first Clearlight record to someone and ask them which of the 2 giuitar players Steve Hillage is; the question is extremely difficult to answer.

Of the three, doesn't Howe have the best collection of riffs - check out Mike Keneally's Faithful Axe, ex Boil that Dust Speck for a demo.

 ˇFelices navidades también!.  .

 I read in a spanish prog forum a post about a guy that had sent tapes of the main prog guitar players (The Steves, Fripp, Latimer, Oldfield...) to a professional music expert to judge the quality of the performance, not the composition. He concluded that Howe was technically brilliant.

But this is, for me, the cream over the ice: I like a performer to be great, although is just very secondary to the compositions.

Steve Hackett for me.

Genesis ceased to be in my eyes once he'd left, and his solo work is exceptional.

Steve Hackett was the man that kept Genesis alive, not even Peter Gabriel's departure affected Genesis so much as Steve's.

Steve Hackett has a more prolific and succesfull solo career than Steve Howe, and not because he sold out (not saying Steve Howe  sold out) but even when he kept faithful to the genre. Genesis without Hackett is not Genesis, Yes without Howe doesn't sound as good as with him, but still is Yes.

Steve Hackett created a unique atmospheric sound that no other band achieved.

Hackett's accoustic albums and songs like Midnight Summer's Dream or Horizons are simply perfect.

So my vote goes for Steve Hackett.
