| I am fairly new to prog music, with about a dozen albums. I have King Crimson's first album, In the Court. What should I buy next by King Crimson? |

Get the albums in this order: (recommended)
Then, you can buy "Discipline", "Thrak" etc. ------------- RIO/AVANT/ZEUHL - The best thing you can get with yer pants on! |

It's funny, I have three King Crimson albums now but ITCOTCK is still on my shopping list! I introduced the band into my life with Larks' Tongues and it worked out great, really love that record. I next bought Starless and Bible Black, which at first made me go "hmmm..." though I have come around to it more since then. The title track still gives me a bit of a hard time, I must admit. Yet these two records are of a fairly similar nature. The third and latest KC record added to my collection was Discipline which I really like, even tough it's a world apart from Larks' Tongues. Just follow your instincts, Rileydog; other people really can't tell you what you will end up liking as in many cases there doesn't seem to be a strict logic to music preferences... Oh, and read a couple of reviews, that could be to some help as well. ------------- I was made to love magic |

I agree with CX-2...Beat is a fine album, granted not there best, but still damn good and should be explored. Anyway, suggestions: Lark's Toungues and Red Then you can explore: Lizard Recommend for waiting till the end: Islands Absent Lovers is said to be a great live CD from the 80s formation, but i have yet to hear it. USA is also a good idea, if you like the 70s version. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |
