Not entirely. I had an inkling that I understood what you meant. Wasn't absolutely sure.

No it worked. I played the role of the straight man.

Let us just say that there is a medical industry that specializes in increasing the thickness of a certain male organ in answer to the saying that "size doesn't matter" followed by a snicker.

For me, yes. I'll list some:
The Pass
YYZ (and just about every other track on Moving Pictures. actually)
Red Barchetta
La Villa Strangiato
Bastille Day
Something for Nothing
Jacob's Ladder.....
I could go on for some time.

I'll add Cygnus X-1 Xanadu By Tor and the Snow Dog on the other hand how do we know they will win in a poll.

Of course I meant in a poll. Surely there are many people who will like many songs more than Starless... but if you make a poll, which song could actually beat it? Of course, it's rather easy to find out, one only needs to make the poll. Perhaps later on I'll do it... but there are many songs suggested, and people may grow tired of seeing so many polls of "X Rush Song vs Starless". |
I know what you meant. No need to explain I ain't thick. What is the problem?

In the Court of the Crimson King isn't a 5* album. |
Yeah even as huge KC fan I have to say it's like a 3ish. However, Red alone is better than anything Rush has made combined. OK that's extreme, but Ill stick with it :D |
Even though there are many albums and songs that I like from King Crimson, I believe the only album that I would rate with 5* is ItCotCK. But then, that's just me.

Interesting---I think generally they are not easy on the ears---I more admire lot's of their material and recognize their importance---and really followed them because I'm a Bruford fanboy---listened more to their Discipline period than any other. |
This makes me chuckle because I sometimes like to refer to King Crimson as Bruford's side project. Sort of similarly, I started listening to King Crimson as a result of my love of all things-Yes, and since I have an outlandish goal to collect all albums that feature a member of Yes on them that put King Crimson on my radar.

^^^ I think ExittheLemming said this once and probably addressed to the same member. That if you don't like KC, what it really means is you probably haven't found that side of them that you could like. They are unlike most other prog rock bands, at least the big names, in that they have straddled such a long span of time and adapted to the musical trends in each and not just carried on with their style, oblivious to developments. They have also experimented with so many approaches, be it composition, or the marriage of composition and improvisation on LTIA-Red, or smart, mobile rock if it could be called that on Discipline. So on and so forth. It is difficult even for a KC fan to enjoy all of their work, such is their diversity but there is really no such thing as a point where you may get off with KC. |
I've heard all their albums, I just don't like them. I'm not saying they're bad, because they're not, just not my thing.

I can't fairly vote in this poll. I only own 3 KC albums, In the Court, Lizard, and LTIA. In the Court is pretty good, Lizard is uneven, with two amazing songs (Cirkus, Lizard) with some mediocre stuff, and LTIA is a more recent addition, but really growing on me. Rush, however, is the only band that I have a full collection of their studio albums!!

Um, only trying to impress that they are different. If it's Rush or Genesis, I have some notions about their style and there is some continuity about the changes to it across albums, not least because of relatively more stable lineups. Because KC change so much, it is easier to dislike or like one or two formations rather than to dislike the band itself. And of course, you could turn around to what I am going to say and suggest any fan would say that about his favourite band, but KC is just hardwork. There was a time when I would have taken either of Rush or Genesis over them because most of their albums just seemed ok to me. My feelings about it couldn't be more different now. And of course, I viewed KC worship with skepticism at that time so I am not really going to try to convince somebody to dig deeper. Will only restrict myself to saying that it's more likely that one or two albums from some or the other formation make a bad impression on someone who doesn't like KC (and of course, it need not be the case at all, just a general observation).
