Fripp without question. Probably the most creative guitarist out there. ------------- One likes to believe In the freedom of music But glittering prizes And endless Compromises Shatter the illusion Of integrity |

Read the "John Deacon vs. Geddy Lee" poll for an explanation of this one (and there's an explanation of that one in it as well). ------------- Be or be not. There is no question. - Yoda, Prince of Denmark |

for me there's no comparation between robert and bryan, robert is more experimentalist and bryan can burn your head with the sound of his guitar, both are excelents in their way of play guitar... but... FRIPP IS GOD!!!!!!!!! ------------- a plague of lighthouse keepers |

Fripp may be a jerk in some respects, but he doesn't have a ridiculous poodle perm, isn't married to a soap opera actress with exactly the same hairstyle as himself, isn't currently touring the world with Paul Rodgers (good rock singer though he is) standing in for Freddie Mercury and hasn't had his best songs cannibalised into a third rate West End musical by Ben Elton. Add to that Fripp's musical superiority (no disrespect to May, but he's no great innovator when it comes to technique) and it's a total no brainer. Fripp! ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

That's funny; trying to rate/compare Fripp to the Queen guy. No offense to Mr. May, but Fripp is light-years ahead of him, from songwriting skills, to guitarmanship, to creativity and originality, to diversity. That includes Fripp's special guitar tunings, Frippertronics guitar loop soundscapes, teaching acoustic guitar classes, writing books, giving speeches, delving into logic and philosophy, etc. I mean, Brian May is a guitarist. Fripp is a guitarist and about a dozen other things! FRIPP's THE MAN! Brian May does get credit for building/designing his trademark guitar (apparently from wood from a fireplace?) and for his early guitar orchestrations.

Mr. Fripp, one of the most important contributors to prog. And he's such a colourful person. Mind you, May's guitar sound and style is unique and very good. But mr. Fripp is a league of his own. A league of gentlemen who put prog on the musical map. |

Both are great guitarists and composers on their own right, it's unfair to state that one is better than the other, so I voted BLANK. ------------- Don't be a prog-hole, please... |

Despite the Prog vs Not Prog or virtuoso vs not virtuoso, I must choose Brian May, I may sound ignorant but IMO Robert Fripp is not the genius most people believe. Iván BTW: I voted for the first option, but honestly I was tempted to vote for the last one -------------

Robert Fripp is the one. There is no contest.
