5: Fred Frith vs. Robert Fripp

This contest has been a bust so far, partially because I've been too lazy to frame this in a an interesting way providing cases for both in the initial post, and because, well, my choices haven't always been that good, but this one is the best match-up so far, in my opinion.

Here's the results so far:

Poll Question: Who is the more innovative artist?
Poll Choice	Votes	Poll Statistics
Frank Zappa	24	[85.71%]
Don van Vliet (Captain Beefheart)	3	[10.71%]
Arthur Brown	1	[3.57%]

Poll Question: Which artist has been more innovative?
Poll Choice	Votes	Poll Statistics
Miles Davis	25	[75.76%]
Roine Stolt	8	[24.24%]

Poll Question: Which do you consider to be the more innovative artist?
Poll Choice	Votes	Poll Statistics
John Zorn	15	[78.95%]
Toby Driver	4	[21.05%]

Who is the greater innovator in your opinion?
Poll Choice	Votes	Poll Statistics
Vander	29	[61.70%]
Shuldiner	9	[19.15%]

If I feel so inclined, I might do a secondary contest between the two "losers" who have the highest percentile of votes in the contests.  For instance, Roine Stolt has done best of those at 24.24% and Toby Driver the second best at 21.05% thus far.

I encourage those who are not reasonably familiar with both artists in the poll not to vote ( a good rule when voting for politicians too -- if not sufficiently aware/ well-versed, it's your patriotic duty not to vote... Better still to educate oneself using a wide variety of sources).
