    But seriously folks, I probably own more FZ but have kept up with recent KC and haven't really kept up with the Vault releases.

    Yup, that's who I thought you were talking about. There's also a Russian band with the same name...

    Oh, Crismo is what the Brits use to refer to KC. Instead of saying KC, which is far easier.

    That's not spelling it out, that's a tour that I don't have time for at the moment. But thanks, anyway.

    You call it "Poll". We call it "Maze".

    I believe you meant "Maize".

    This is a tough one.

    Today I'd say KC. On another day, I might say FZ.

    It would take 3 - 80's Crim bands to take down 1 Frank Zappa, 2 - double trio Crim bands to take down 1 Frank Zappa. It would take 1 Frank + 1 Dweez to take down the current King Crimson.
