I reject this definition.

^ With me and the Crims, roughly speaking, 90% of the time. 

You don't sound like a guy who has actually heard a single Crim record from the '69-'74 period (what's with all the laughs? Stern Smile). Think you are bluffing about your history of listening to them. If you claim that they don't rock people's brains out, then your are just fooling yourself and nobody else.

LOLLOLLOLLOL



If it doesn't happen to you doesn't mean it is wrong if it does to somebody else.   This piece easily crushes any Genesis or Yes track for sheer heaviness:



Or this, for that matter:




By the way, I love Genesis and Yes too but I doubt you are going to believe me the moment I say something positive about KC.  Seems your universe is a pretty binary one.

No, there is no point in you keeping on going. There is also no point in denying the influence of this band. Also, saying that they are an average band, ... . As much as I hate to do this, I'm gonna use the word "pretentious": that is one hell of a pretentious statement you've made there.

I never said they didn't influence other artists did I? I just personally think they are an average band I've heard those songs before Larks Tongues(both of them) and Red and there good just nothing to great in my opinion, so sorry if I don't think they're that great cuz you can listen to them all you want. There is no point in arguing with me. I just think they're average nobody has to get butthurt so calm down and CoolCoolCool down

I'm not super-agitated; I'm rather baffled. You nicked the Crims as an average band. What kind of an "average" band could make as much of an impact as King Crimson?

King Crimson, easily. I like early Genesis a lot, and I respect Yes, but I can't stand most of their output.

Out of these three I'm voting for Genesis, as I listen to them a lot more than I do the other two.

Since Pink Floyd's not on the list, it has to be Genesis.
