Never mind, but C is "do" (and "si" is B).
"Spanish" or "classical" guitar is one of the basic types (we can say archetype) of acoustic guitars. These terms may coincide to someone, but in principle, their sounds are very similar.  Different types of acoustic guitars distinct mainly in size, by the number of strings or tuning. vastly different is the sound of various steel or resophonic guitars. (However, I don't remember, something like that was ever used by Robert Fripp.)

Not quite right.  An acoustic guitar has a narrower neck than a Spanish/Classical guitar. Probably the same width as an  electric. Spanish guitar does sound different to acoustic though. So I suspect Cirkus has acoustic guitar. As do all of these I suspect.

But that doesn't exclude my previous statement at all!
 
By the way, if we take into consideration that the Spanish guitar is a subtype of acoustic guitar, it  cannot sound differently in principle. Example: alto is a subtype of the female voice, so sounds like a female voice. The male voice, on the other hand, sounds significantly different.

During invent the title of this poll I thought about a kind of "Acousting Crimson ". Finally, I found "Spanishing" as a nicer and more convenient term. Namely, "Acousting" can also mean "Unplugged". And I was thinking about distinctive acoustic,  respectively Spanish guitar. Enough?

Please yourself. But they do sound different.

Never mind. I've explained it above... Nevertheless, I think the poll question is obvious.

Spanish or Classical guitar for that matter sounds different from an acoustic guitar, they are built differently and are using a different set of strings. If I remember correctly Cirkus contains Spanish guitar and not acoustic, but I'll have to check it out later.

Hell no for eleventh!!!
 
The same case as Pavlov's Dog. I can't really stand that annoying Surkamp's voice.
 
And Kayak? 3rd league or what?


Pavlov's Dog - both their two albums are classics - criminally underrated.

Kayak - I personally think they have made some classic albums (definitely classic songs) but the point is: both these bands have arguably more HEART in their music, hence stop talking quite so much about KC, give other bands their due.
