Fripp did appear on a game show with his wife. Other than that I have no idea what you might be referring to.

Well then, you must not prefer the style because the melody is beautiful. It's far from being a complex piece, but not a long shot when you compare it with Anthony Phillips "Nightmare". Many of the ideas repeat endlessly and the music is more dependent on the melody of the piece by taking a back seat to complexity. It's just a different method of writing that may not appeal to you. |
That may be true.

I'm much more moved by the 3 minute solo at the end of "Every Day" than by the tune "Spectral Mornings", which I agree drags on too much. The Every Day solo seems to have been a huge influence on artists from Mostly Autumn to Collage, and many I probably don't know. |
Yes! That's a very moving solo

That's a tough one to choose.....I like Hackett's individual solo guitar leads better on the Genesis tracks but I think Fripp is a better overall composer and band 'leader' who really set a tone for future prog rock bands. His leads can be melodic and pleasing but also abrasive and hard to get into at times.
Having said that KC is probably my favorite prog band.

Oh look. Dead heat. 31 all.
It's a bit like having to choose between Firth and Lark's Tongues (any of them).
Not going to happen.

Wow!! Last I looked Fripp was way ahead, but it might turn into a come from behind victory by Hackett. I've already voted for you know who, but my hat's off to both.

The little breaks on the track Spectral Mornings, especially the last one, also show to me how damn good is Hackett with the melodies...

Steve Hackett.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Hackett is a melodic genius--his playing has moved me. As the great Quincy Jones said on NPR today---"there are only 12 notes---and the most important thing for me is a great melody----a melody is God's voice". I agree and Hackett has come up with some extraordinary melodies.

Steve Hackett is very expressive on electric guitar depending on which track you choose. On "Spectral Mornings" he is God of the Andy Latimers and David Gilmour's in the world. Fripp has played electric guitar solos having almost the same affect on me...like on Eno's Here Come The Warm Jets or during Bowie's Berlin period...or even on recordings by a folk band called The Roches.

There are some things Steve does on the electric guitar that don't make an interesting, coherent solo. I find him to be much more expressive as an acoustic guitar player. Robert impressed me on both instruments (especially in the early 70's), so it is anybody's guess who I'm voting for here. Not just a great technical player, but also a very expressive one.

Fripp. Was never much impressed by the quiet competency of Hackett.

Both are maestros but Fripp is , along with Hendrix a rock music monument. Very close competition though, I would have loved hearing both together.
