Robert Fripp
Robert Fripp, the founder of King Crimson, is responsible for musical innovations like Frippertronics, soundscapes, and the so-called “new standard tuning.” Even though he gradually rose to stardom in his own right, he paid his dues by working as a session guitarist for notable musicians such as David Bowie, The Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, and Blondie for decades.
