Well, he DID drum a little in the 80s...
Again, I don't listen much to to either Yes or King Crimson, KC is just to experimental for my tastes. Although I won't deny the talent of Robert Fripp. (I'd even go as far to say that Tony Levin is the greatest bassist who ever lived) But since I don't liston much to either, I couldn't give a real review of Bruford
And is there any vocals in Brand X or is it an instrumental group?
