Most boring progrock in my opinion is solo Rick Wakeman. Without the
rest of Yes, he's tedious!

I always found ELP the most boring of the progrock
bands. But if
anyone is interested
there's also a great BBC documentary

I will trade all of my ELP for a single track by Soft Machine...

You think Wakeman-senior is boring? Try any of Howe's solo albums.

Yeah, they all need each other, pretty much, though they all had their
moments (Squire and Anderson at least had solo albums that were
interesting, and Howe and Wakeman themselves had some moments on their
earlier ones, in my opinion.)
They also need a producer, as evidenced by, say, Tormato. But the late
70s weren't kind to any of the prog rock guys, really. Nor the mid-80s,
for that matter.
I'd love to post some on-topic, Linux-produced prog rock, but nothing
I've recorded since moving to Linux has really been prog rock.

Yeah, as
amazing a guitarist as Howe is, and he really is IMO, his solo
stuff is a yawn, by and large. Can't say I agree about ELP, though.

Haven't heard Howe's solo work.
I like The Nice and some of ELP. Not happy with Emerson's propensity to
lift stuff from other artists and not give them credit for it. He gives
credit for some of his classical-based work, but not for one of the
extended synthesizer solos on Welcome Back My Friend. Or maybe I'm the
only person in the world who has Dick Hyman's LP Moog, with "The
Minotaur" on it ...

I think most Yes albums are tedious. I am in the small minority of
people who when he goes to listen to a Yes album, reaches for Drama,
first.
None of Jon Anderson's annoying voice. Steve Howe grew up and started
playing solid body guitars through real amps, and the album is filled
with SONGS!!! Not mind bendingly boring album sides filled with their
musical interpretations of Zen. Geoffe Downes' keyboard parts are tasty
and to the point.
Rich.
