 Topic: "Forgotten" Crimson Albums
Posted: December 16 2005 at 10:55 |
|
OK folks I've been thinking of another silly poll we can all do!!!
These three albums don't often feature as people's selections for their
favourite King Crimson album. I've been listening to these albums
back-to-back recently, and my favourite has to be Lizard, in particular
I find the title track to be bewitching and beguiling......on the other
hand I find Islands a disappointment, due largely to Boz Burrell's
vocals I think. In the Wake of Poseidon has its moments, but some of it
is too similar to ITCOTCK.
But I'm aware there might be one or two folk here that wish to disagree...!!

I like Islands a lot, but Poseidon and Lizard aren't among my favourite KC's albums. Good ones, though.

Lizard and In the Wake of Poseidon are both amazing and as good as any
of their material. Island is a bit more difficult to appreciate, but
lately I've found it extremely attractive and stimulating to my
ears

Lizard is my favorite Crimson album!!!! Very original. What an album. I've never heard an album that is even similar. Kudos to Mr. Fripp for creating a masterpiece.

Oh ... no question that's it Lizard for me ... what a superb album ... aside from the mammoth title track ... it has Cirkus ... which is the track that made me fall in love with KC in the first place (it's still quite possibly my favourite) ... and the incredible Lady Of The Dancing Water
... the other two tracks aren't bad either ...
I'm probably the wrong guy cos, Lizard is far from forgotten here ... luv it.

I voted Lizard, though I'm not much of a Crimson fan. Lizard is pretty good though.

Well I have to say Lizard, In The Wake, then Islands. I like the jazzy
instrumentals on Islands a lot.

Agree. Islands has a very Miles Davis sound.
