In the latest issue of PROG are published the results of their Greatest Prog Musician poll and making the Top 50 (just barely) is Our Trev - here is the entry on the list for him.

48  TREVOR RABIN

"I still love playing guitar, and have never stopped working on my technique.  But there's little more satisfying than knowing what you have in your head will come out so well when you have an orchestra to bring it lo life.  With Yes, I didn't have much opportunity to work in an orchestral vein; we did do a little of that on Talk, but not much.  Since I left, this whole world has opened up for me."

Listen to: Changes

Trevor joins such guitar luminaries as Al DiMeola, Adrian Belew, John McLaughlin, Allan Holdsworth, Neal Morse, Steve Hackett, Alex Lifeson, Frank Zappa, David Gilmour, and Robert Fripp as well as fellow bandmates Steve Howe, Bill Bruford, Chris Squire and Rick Wakeman.  Plus many many other leading lights of the genre.

And in the number one spot: the much-mourned incredibly influential and masterful drummer, lyricist and author, Neil Peart of Rush.
