I'd have to say that, in their respective pursuit of this, Czukay was without question the more successful of the two, but the parallel still holds some water I think.

Agreed. Bottom line: Pop or Avantegarde, Can's music sounds much better and is still influencial today, both directly and indirectly. While most Wings output is forgettable and listened to mainly for nostalgic purposes.
