Chris Squire, Ant Philip, Chick Corea and several others didn't make it to the top twenty.

No one included Anthony Phillips in their Top 10 list of solo artists so he has 0 points in the poll and Chris Squire finished up in 36th place with 18 points so neither artist made it onto this Top 20 poll, and regarding Mike Oldfield,  he's still a solo artist even though he's never been part of a band - apart from the 1960's folk duo, The SallyAngie. Smile

I understood, no need to overexplain. 
He did an album with his sister when they were teens. That makes him a solo artist? Ok then. Confused

Kate Bush and David Bpwie weren't previously part of a band either, but they're still regarded as solo artists. Smile

was he session musician? 

Anyway, just my opinion, Oldfield's long career is not a solo one, you can disagree.

They were a touring band originally put together to tour the Joy Of a Toy album then performed on two following albums, sounds like a band member to me, they were named Kevin Ayers & The Whole World similar to Springsteens E Street band or Tom Pettys Heartbreakers. Are those session musicians or band members depends on which side of the semantics you want to argue.

Straight choice between Hackett and Wakeman.
I give it to Hackett by a short head.

I think its his best album too --sounds like what the next Genesis album might have sounded like--but with better production and with his old bandmates---so voted for Hackett.
