    I wish Rick Davies got a few more votes. Then again, Supertramp is kind of a nameless and faceless band.

    Tossup for me between Rick Wright and Nicky Hopkins. Rick by a hair.

    Ian Stewart would have been my third choice.

    It's missing the one who would tie my selection honestly, Robert John Godfrey (Enid)

    Tony Banks is neck and neck, and third would be John Tout (Renaissance)

    I'd also probably have Richard Barbieri somewhere, too... most of these leave me hanging.

    EDIT: oh and, Billy Currie too. Very underrated musician.
