When it comes to the question of  "music overall" Bowie still wins hands down even if Fripp is arguably more innovative.  IMHO!

I honestly never thought about Bowie as an innovator. He walked whrough a lot of musical styles, he changed many appearances, but did he invented much? Nope. He was not a creator of glam rock, nor punk rock, nor anything else, — though 'The Man Who Sold the World' influenced goth rock and darkwave a lot, that's still not a big merit as there was a lot of other influences when those genres appeared, more contemporary for that time. So he's an excellent and versatile musician who had great influence on music as a person, but not really as innovator.
This night wounds time.

One invented glam rock, but the other one had an important role in making the  first Prog Rock album. I respect Bowie very much, but i also believe that Fripp has always been an important character in Prog scene. so I'll choose Fripp
