Sometimes you have to agree with Walter. For similar reasons, Fripp is an amazing guitarist and his approach to music wonderful.

Bruford's drumming on One More Red Nightmare is one of the best there is.

Bill Bruford. Jazzy style, but he's the best for KC by far.

Bill Bruford - loved his work with Yes and King Crimson, though Michael Giles is tied  with Bruford when it comes to King Crimson.

Bruford had killer chops, but Giles fit in with the band better. Maybe it's just because there's all ready a little too much Bruford in my prog diet: Second's Out/CTTE/One of  Kind.

Bruford of course. I think that Gavin Harisson shouldn't be included (yet).
