| As solo careers go, Rock Bottom alone wins it for Wyatt, but with their bands it's easily Robert Fripp |

| The obvious answer is both. I need ITCOTCK, Lizard, LTIA, Discipline, and (No Pussyfooting) in my life equally as much as Volume Two, Third, Fourth, Rock Bottom, and Little Red Record. Really, with they both being prog titans, both is the only answer. |

Both are living legends, but I would imagine Robert Wyatt to be better company. |

| Voted both but regret it a little as Wyatt has too few votes. |

^ Voted for Wyatt as I have more solo albums by him. But I really like both. But Wyatt is far too important a figure to only have a handful of votes. ------------- Help me I'm falling! |

Robert Fripp.------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |

Robert Wyatt. Robert Fripp produced the second Matching Mole album (apparently unnerving Phil Miller in the process), and it was there that he met Brian Eno and shortly thereafter the pair made No Pussyfooting. So Wyatt was the unwitting progenitor of Frippertronics! ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

Errm... what's difficult about that? Wyatt was on Matching Mole, and through producing that MM album Fripp and Eno got together.... ------------- http://www.iskcrocks.com" rel="nofollow - ISKC Rock Radio I stopped blogging and reviewing - so won't be handling requests.

| ^ Yeah, but that does not answer my question: what did Wyatt have to do with the Frippertronics? |

Guess I missed this topic when it came out two years ago. If it were personal preference, much as I like Fripp I would certainly go with Wyatt, but to answer the poll question, I definitely think that Fripp is the bigger icon of prog. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

Hi, Way too different for my tastes, but I would say that their exploratory nature is way up there. Did not vote, as I like Robert's "childishness" (my word for it) in what he does, and while I like KC, there are times when I think there is way too much "composition" here and there, for me to appreciate the freedom and the ability to go where no one has been. Based on the book by Wyatt (Different Every Time), I would think he is much more interesting and special all around, but it's hard to not appreciate Robert Fripp, in the current incarnation of KC and the incredible quality they put into the work which is, likely, even better than many of the originals themselves. ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!
