Gilmour vs Fripp

I could probably count Fripp influenced guitarists that actually sound something like him using only my fingers. Gilmour's list of significant Influences is considerably longer: Rothery Latimer Belew DeGarmo Barrett Josh Lucassen Petrucci Wilson To name just a few.

I don't hear the Gilmour influence in Belew, and I have listened to an extensive amount of material with Belew on it. I can definitely hear a Fripp influence in Belew, however, it makes sense that there is a Fripp-esque style with Belew, I mean he's played with the man for over 20 years.

But I will agree with the rest of that list you created, especially Steve Rothery and Arjen Lucassen.
