I would rather good bands like KC not get attention simply because they've been featured in a Kanye song. One of the nice things about being a fan of some bands is that you do not have to deal with people who really don't know what they are talking about with regard to that band. For example, there are quite a number of people who claim to be a "fan" of an artist simply because they know one song from either guitar hero or rock band. From there, the band (in this case KC) would lose credibility with people who are interested in their music.
 
If you fit the criteria that I just mentioned 40footwolf, then you are completely accurate in saying that I would not be too psyched about you listening to KC. However, if you are familiar with their catalogue and have made an effort to get to know the band and their materail then I would have no problem with you being a fan.

Wouldn't that be a best-case scenario?

I guess he's not too psyched that I listen to King Crimson.

Not a problem.  That is why I attached a link for you, figuring that you wouldn't have seen it.

To the OP, just FYI, here is a link to a previous thread that discussed this topic.  http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71796&PID=3878653#3878653  It has since been closed by the admins, but it will probably give you an idea of what PA members thought of this new Kanye song.

LOL

Are you a relative of NecronCommander?

This thread needs to be closed (like the last one).

It is with a pain in my chest that I write this short entry. As I was driving home from school today, my sister (who has poor taste on music), turned on the new Kanye West single. I am by no means a Kanye fan so I tried my darndest to ignore it and imagine a better song. Unfortunately I was shocked out of this state when I heard a sampling or the classic opener from "In the Court of the Crimson King", "21st Century Schizoid Man". Sickened, I felt that I had to share this horrible news with my fellow proggers so that we are able to discuss together how we should go about dealing with this.
 
My fear is that this will spur "false fans" or people pretending to know the music of King Crimson which will inevitably diminish their greatness in the eys of those who do no know of them. I truly hope that this single does not become too popular (wishful thinking I know) because I am not quite sure that I could handle modern music fans latching on to King Crimson in any way.
 
Please feel free to discuss anything that you like pertaining to this issue on the comments section below whether it be feelings about this or solutions to the problem. I hope that perhaps this will unite us prog fans even more in dealing with the aftermath of this horrible tragedy. Some of you may think that I am being melodramati, and I am, but that is only to illustrate to those of us who may be indifferent, how potent this issue is. What's next, Yes samples, Pink Floyd Samples, etc.?
 
In conclusion, I hope that we can come up with a successful resolution to this problem.
 
Cheers!
