King Crimson
 

I loved their early work....until they reached the 80s and it all went a bit new wave. Larks tounges, Islands, Court of the Crimson King, Wake of poseidon.....they will always be one of my many favorite bands....Any other fans?

I've been quick to judge this group, but I'm willing to compromise. I'll definetly check out your favorites list of theirs. I just always think of Yes when I hear this group. I know Rick Wakeman was in Yes & played for King Crimson, so they can't be horrible.

Yes are nothin compared to King Crimson. I know i will probly get bashed for saying that....but KC are, in my opinion the greatest thing to come outta the 70's prog rock scene.

crimson are amazing; in the court of the crimson king is one of the only perfect albums ever made. i love them.

and no comparison with yes, they sound pretty much nothing like each other. but crimson is one of the best bands ever

and while the 80's stuff is controversial, the 90's and beyond stuff is amazingly good!!! stuff like the construkction of light and thrakk, holy shit!!!!

I think the early years of Yes are the best, but that's my opinion.
Sorry for taking away from your thread.

Was lisening to Larks tounges in aspic part 2 last nite...early morning, while smoking a fatty....i got quite emotional, an involved with the music hehhe....Marleypumpkin, if u want a good start for KC - check larks tounges in aspic part II, or the whole album.

The Great Decever
Fallen angel
Islands
Starless
Cat food

i could go on...but not 2 overload you. I advise you get seriously stoned in a dark room and lisen for agges. Unlimited plesure, better than a blowjob.

I will most certainly check this group out. & from what you're describing, it sounds like I'll like this group alot.
(meaning, if it's good music to blaze to, than I'll probably love it)

Starless & Bible Black is thier best work IMO
