My favorite band of all time.  I cannot wait for Tony, Pat, Adrian, and Robert to tour again or give us another studio album.  Are they rehearsing in November or September?

King Crimson is, IMHO, the most progressive band of all time. They established progressive rock with ITOTCK, pioneered both prog and jazz fusion metal with Red and The Great Deceiver, had an interesting, polyrhythmic take on 80s New Wave, then came back at their most metallic, using soundscapes and touch guitars to craft impossibly complex music that manages to be both dissonant and beautiful. Without them, this site would have a lot less bands. Tool comes to mind without thinking.

Unlike their contemporaries who sold out to play it safe, Fripp was fully willing to fall flat on his face, but he'd do so while exploring new sonic territory, and in doing so, moved music farther than anyone before or, for that matter, since. Had he been born a few centuries ago, he would have been a circumnavigator.

Following the examples set by Rush and Gong fans, I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread to discuss the various incarnations of this seminal band. I know they're a regular feature of most threads, but this thread could provide a good opportunity for people to focus their thoughts on the mighty KC, their musical output through the decades, their influence, live performances, and what not.

As many of you know, ITCOTCK was one of the very first prog albums I listened to in its entirety. It was an unforgettable experience, even if I was too young to fully grasp the implication of the band's music. My acquaintance with the rest of their production came later, but at this point I can safely say they are one of my favourite bands EVER. Very uncommon for a woman, perhaps, but there you are...Wink
