STEVE HACKETT

Stephen Richard Hackett (born 12 February 1950) is a British songwriter and guitarist. He gained prominence as a member of the British progressive rock group Genesis, which he joined in 1970. Hackett remained with the band for eight albums before leaving in 1977 to pursue a solo career.

In 1986, Hackett co-founded the supergroup GTR with another progressive guitarist, Steve Howe of Yes and Asia. The group released a self-titled album that year, which peaked at #11 on the Billboard 200 in the United States and spawned the Top 20 single "When the Heart Rules the Mind". When Hackett left GTR in 1987, the group disbanded.

After leaving GTR, Hackett resumed his solo career and has released albums and toured on a regular basis since. His body of work has encompassed many styles, such as progressive rock, world music, and classical. His playing has influenced guitarists such as Alex Lifeson[1] and Brian May.[2]

PLEASE LISTEN BEFORE YOU VOTE!

[a21schizoidman]

dont forget this one!!

[DarkSide247]

I vote Hackett. While Nancy's a good player, I prefer Steve's style.

[OldFogey]

Hackett. Nancy's much better than often given credit for -- but as good as Steve? No way.

[NX013]

Hackett is an original, his style is unique and all his own. So I vote for him

[AxlVanHagar]

Guess I'll be in the minority here and say Nancy. I've always really loved her style.

[Mystlyfe77]

Oh god, this one's tough. Think I'm going to have to give the slight edge to Hackett.

[JukeBoxHero]

I tend to like Heart over Genesis, but I recognized in terms of skills that Hackett beats Nancy in skill. Steve Hackett on this vote.
