[atlantaprog] Re: Stumbled across this essay...

So has this supposedly knowledgeable guy who claims there was no 
fingertapping in prog prior to Eddie Van Halen never heard "Return of the Giant 
Hogweed"?  
Am I the only one who hears no particular EVH influence in Alex Lifeson's 
guitar work, post Permanent Waves or otherwise?  It seems to me that the major 
stylistic shift in Lifeson's 80s guitar work was marked by an Andy Summers 
fixation, not an EVH fixation.
