King Crimson: The Forefathers of Progressive Rock

Postby King Caesar » Fri Apr 13, 2012 1:35 pm

My Opinion
I don't even know where to begin with King Crimson. Formed in the late 60's, they may be one of the forgotten legends of rock history. Their music has an undying charm and is appealing to all senses. They have a truck-load of songs, but none of them have reached the surface of iTunes in their original form. One day, we might all get to experienced the remastered pieces of progressive rock.

Four Starting Points
• In order of recommendation by yours truly
In the Wake of Poseidon
21st Century Schizoid Man
Epitaph
In the Court of the Crimson King

Good? Bad? What do you think? :)

Dude, most of their classic albums have been remixed and remastered in 5.1, 2.0, and 1.0 a few years ago.

^ A little Amazon search got me to their second album, In The Wake of Poseidon (with Cat Food [Single Version] and Groon). Greg Lake is terrific as the vocalist, and the Devil's Triangle is a haunting track straight out of hell. I want to get their first album soon as well.
