Love that Andrew Latimer and guitarists from Gentle Giant and Focus are included with the more commercially successful guitarists.

[@МаксРогозин-е1ю]

Greg Lake is kinda underappreciated as a guitarist (almost always remembered as a singer and a bassist). Michael Dunford a humble guy sitting in the corner with acoustic guitar but he was Renaissance prime composer and deserves a respect.

[@BackingTrackCenter]

Greg Lake is indeed underrated as a guitarist. Michael Dunford, with his skill and contribution to Renaissance, also deserves respect. Great suggestions for future lists! Thanks for the comment!

[@clannad99germany70]

That is BS, both never played actually electro guitar and the sound of Renaissance was totally keyboardish, and Lake was more a good bass playing, who used the bass as an solo instsrument, just like Chris Squire of Yes did. So when it comes to the best !!!! this list is more or less ok and right.

Nektar is so overlooked in the history of prog rock, it's almost criminal! So glad you gave them some love! Wish you would've added Adam Jones of Tool, though!

Great list. Never really been a fan of Fripp, Holdsworth and Howe, but they are clearly great players. For me, Andy Latimer sets a standard no-one else can match. But I'd add to the list Steve Rothery of Marillion, Mike Holmes of IQ, John Mitchell of Arena, Frost and It Bites and the late Piotr Grudinski of Riverside.

People confuse jazz rock with progressive rock

[@andrewhoag6167]

@@joaquinlezcano2372 : Please then, define the difference.

[@joaquinlezcano2372]

@@andrewhoag6167 in jazz rock you have rock songs (typical song structure of verse and chorus with rock vocals, very much guitar based, focused on being punchy) with the language and elements of jazz (long jam sessions, typical jazz chords and chord progressions, playing reminiscent of jazz players, some times a big band kind of sound) In prog rock, apart from jazz influence you have also classical and the songwriting is very different. It doesn't have the typical song structure, as the songwriting is focused on dividing the song in sections, with instrumental sections that aren't necessarily related with guitar solos but with complex passages. Most of the prog has an oniric and/or grandiose type of songwriting and playing.

So complaining about musical names is pointless, they are social conventions. You may dislike it, but as long there's no better name, this one remains.
