The (Factually) Greatest Drummer

Then you'll have to check the progressive rock definitions. That might help you understand.

Yep, it's a good album (especially the drumming from the unerring Mr Giles of course) but do you really think the 'roomier' areas of Moonchild are breathtaking? (or would wheezy/bronchial be more accurate?) You know, I have never minded the last bit of Moonhild particularly. I thought it was a nice cooldown period ffeore the climax. However, on this particular listen, I realized that it is actually genius. I knew it would happen sooner or later.

Still reeling from the concept of FACTUALLY greatest.

^ yes it is. You know I can understand people taking jazz and just thinking of it as unorganized noise. I get that. The jazz element that Crimson has is quite good and if doesn't sound annoying to me.

Oh sure, I realize the album's importance as something that LED to Progressive Rock.  Just like there are Jazz albums you can point to that LED to Rock and Roll.  But I don't see how that album, by itself, would qualify as Progressive Rock.  By itself, it's a Psychedelic band jamming out.
