I think it's more about your user name

Thanks back to you for inventing jazz! 😎

You're most definitely welcome for the jazz! And perhaps the fact that I completely missed the Gumplord/ Forrest Gump connection speaks to the appropriateness of my username for me 🤣

I think the point is that you never know what you're going to get... not quite sure how that relates to this discussion. Like I said, you guys invented prog rock. Thanks for that!

Hey my friends from across the pond... I've said it before, but thanks again for inventing progressive rock. It  could not have happened without the classical influence.

Wow! Zombie thread resurrection 🧟 .

Sorry... just found this!

Dan, I think they're quite similar in style aren't they? Ok, Yes were (are?) more progressive, but still you can hear the similarities in their playing.

Strange question. Two very different players. What's the point of comparing or attempting to rank them (or any musician/artist)? The eye of the beholder and all that.

And as an American (sorry), I'm grateful that you guys invented progressive rock. I don't think it could have happened without the classical influence, and, frankly, that wasn't here in my country. Thanks always for that!

Interesting that Nancy suggests they're from different genres... I don't think so. The Who might be the first progressive rock band. Way before progressive rock was a thing. Thoughts? 

It's clear The Ox was a major influence for Chris, but no doubt my favorite is The Fish. Both phenomenal players. Huge influences for me, along with Geddy Lee
