    What's your favourite prog guitarist's album ever? (pick one!)

    My fav is Private Parts & Pieces II: Back To The Pavillion (1980) by Anthony Phillips.





    This is an amazing album with a lot of pastoral English symphonic rock aesthetic of beautiful harmonies and pleasant folk-ingredient.

    If you count Mike Oldfield as a guitarist I'd go with Ommadawn, if not I'll go with Larks Tongues in Aspic, if you want solo then I'll go with Roy Harper - Stormcock.

    For live albums it's got to be Yessongs with Steve Howe at the absolute top of his game. Studio, I'd say Focus Moving Waves with my other favourite guitarist Jan Akkerman in similarly stellar form.

    EDIT: Obviously misinterpreted the title of this thread, so I'll go for Mike Oldfield's Ommadawn instead of the above, with Spectral Mornings by Steve Hackett not far behind.

    Not positive I understand the OP, but I think I go with Floyd's Animals.

    Wow, Eric Johnson Tones is also a favorite of mine, but I have to go with Steve Hackett - Spectral Mornings.

    If we are expanding to guitar performances on any prog group's recording, that opens up a huge number of choices. I thought we were going with prog guitarist solo.

    Too tough for one choice...

    Most likely one of these:

    Steve Hillage - Fish Rising
    Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acolyte
    Holdsworth - Metal Fatigue
    And if there were a god, I think it very unlikely that he would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence - Russell

    Gilmour's s/t debut solo. A natural for early 70's Floyd fanatics! (Like me.)
