You sure you're not forgetting Roger Waters and Ian (not Jon) Anderson????AngryConfusedTongueWinkLOLLOLLOL
 
 
 
With Hammill, that's my top three, followed by Gabriel
 
who's Kevin Moore, and what is Steven Wilson doing here
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
