Robert frıpp ıs a great compuser,maybe best progrock compuser,but hackett ıs a better guıtarıst ı thınk.but they are better than so many guıtarıst ın thıs musıc.

Fred Frith. Always Fred Frith.

Fripp for his playing, Hackett for the stronger solo career. 

A daft comparison - Fripp was a huge influence on Hackett who also went on to forge ihs own distinctive sound and approach (including classical acoustic)

Result defined by more than goal difference at this tightest of league games. There must be a 2 point difference.

And some random and tolerably contemporary picks.

Red and A Trick Of The Tail. 1 - 1

Earthbound versus Live is obvious and easy. 1 - 2

The one who had John Wetton in his band.. uh oh, 2 - 3

Ok, the one with Bruford.... oh gross gott, scheisse.... um... 3 - 4

both versatile, highly imaginative 4 - 5

Spectral Mornings gets the nod over almost anything Fripp has done... mainly because its sublime beauty is matched by it's ingenuity. 4 - 6

Jeeznis. That was close.

Whatever happened to all the fun in the world.
