The Godfather of Prog Guitar.

Robert Fripp is one of the most important influences in my playing, along with Steve Hackett, Andy Summers, the Edge, Ry Cooder, Jeff Beck and Allan Holdsworth.

It's hard to overstate just what a breakthrough "21st Century Schizoid Man" was for 1969. King Crimson really invented a whole new genre, and showed that Rock could not only be complex, in a classical music sense, but also avant garde.
