King Crimson

I may be going for a bit of a stretch, but are there any other King Crimson fans on here? :)

 

My favorite album from them is either In The Court Of The Crimson King, Red, Discipline, Three Of A Perfect Pair, or Thrak.

i really like the album In the Court of the Crimson King. I haven't had a chance to listen to their other material though

They're all really good. :) There are several periods of the band, there's:

 

Period 1 (the classic 60s lineup): In The Court Of The Crimson King, In The Wake Of Poseidon

Period 2 (the first one-off lineup): Lizard

Period 3 (the second one-off lineup): Islands

Period 4 (the classic 70s lineup): Larks' Tongues In Aspic, Starless and Bible Black, Red

Period 5 (the 80s lineup): Discipline, Beat, Three Of A Perfect Pair

Period 6 (the last lineup): Thrak, The Construkction Of Light, The Power To Believe

 

If I had to recommend albums from them, I'd say go for In The Wake Of Poseidon (if you like In The Court), try Larks' Tongues In Aspic or Red, and get either Discipline or Thrak. The Power To Believe is also really good. Save Islands for last, it's their worst album.

In The Court of the Crimson King...OMG, I have that one since the 70's something! It is stored away, but the picture of the cover instantly comes into my mind. The only one I own! :D
