 Fripp with 50 years worth of recordings.......Still will always be Hendrix. Hendrix at Woodstock is more than enough.

Hendrix was far more groundbreaking and influential but I prefer Fripp’s playing. Why do we have to compare?!?? It’s pointless. (I’m not a fan of polls as you might imagine)…..

If you think comparing is pointless and you're not a fan of polls in general, why not simply stay away from the poll-lounge?

Without getting into free will and determinism, I'd add that we don't have to compare. Still Duddick did compare the two before asking the why question.

^Yep he did, but to be fair it's obviously what the Capt'n wants us to do (I just voted for Fripp because I love the music of King Crimson so much more than The Jimi Hendrix Experience)

^ I know. Just because we are asked to doesn't mean we have to. I find it kind of bemusing that someone compares the two then writes "Why do we have to compare?!?? It’s pointless."

Head and discipline versus Heart and Intuition I would imagine both would have admiration for each other's different qualities and approach. For that reason i can't 'pick' one over the other.

Fripp. It's okay to be a loaf of bread on Mondays.

It's pretty cool that they did meet once. Hendrix in England watching King Crimson live and sitting next to Fripp's sister's table. The label had asked Fripp to play standing like a normal guitarist which he had been doing, but this was the first show where he reverted back to sitting, and for good. I actually love the contrasting styles between these two legends. Fripp said when he met Hendrix after that show that Hendrix insisted in shaking his hand with his left because it was closer to his heart. Just too cool.
I prefer Fripp's angular style and his soundscapes.

Jimi was ambidextrous but favored his left.

Both have their merits. I vote for Fripp.
