breathtaking

Seriously, this is my favorite prog album, it has pretty much everything you could want in an album of any type, not just prog. Greg Lake's vocals are amazing on it, and the music is superb. Robert Fripp is one of the best guitarists ever in my opinion, even if the talent isnt shown as much in this album as many of their later albums such as Lark's Tongue's in Aspic. You should buy INTCOTCK as soon as you can. I can see why alot of people dont like King Crimson's later work because it becomse extremely crazy after the 70's, but this album is a must own.

anyway, i have 47 of the top 100, but most of the stuff i dont have is metal because im not a huge metal fan and alot of the stuff on there is metal.

Watch out where the huskies go,dont you eat that yellow snow

73/100, 19 of the 27 i've not got are metal (Riverside, Tool, Pain of Salvation, Opeth, Ayreon, Queensryche, Shadow Gallery, Devin Townsend...) in this sub-genre i just have some Dream Theater and Liquid Tension Experiment 1 !

Exactly, the same ones I don't like myself but Damnation by Opeth is almost a masterpiece

Exactly my position

BY THE WAY....who did the math to get the top 100/250/500? And what algorhythm did they use?

When I say I "disagree" I don't mean literally. Basically, I'm trying to say I prefer albums outside of the top 100, that's just based on the artists/albums I listen to.

I think that the list, for the most part is a great direction for people who want to discover Prog. It also has the classics in it. I think that the algorithm is fine the way it is. I have no problem with it. Like I said, based on my listening habits, the top 100 has no affect on me or these habits.

seminal

Is it as seminal (or essential) as MOVING PICTURES?

Well it pre-dates it by a decade. Seminal means influential so yes, KC were more influential than Rush overall-indeed Rush were directly influenced by Crimson.

You can't compare Rush's influence on the genre to that of King Crimson.

I wasn't comparing anything, Tony. BUT...It's funny you say that last bit, because I see a LOT of popular rock bands waving the flag for Rush; but I've never seen anyone come out and say "I've got a heavy KC influence.", aside, from, well, Rush. <puts foot in mouth>

I've got 61 and I don't want any of the other albums in my collection (=dream theater, pain of salvation, riverside,.....)

WHY?

because I know that music and because I don't like it (progmetal, imitations,... what is that all about). I want innovative bands so give me The Mars Volta, Gentle Giant, Pink Floyd, Van der graaf, PT (!!!!!),.... all day long
