Why did I call some stranger in a BMW a w**ker today, as he accidentally cut me up on the way to work? Anonymity, that's why. If we'd have been walking along and bumped into one another, face to face as it were, it would have been apollogies all round, each party insisting that the fault was entirely their own.
Never been much of a CK fan myself but please don't feel obliged to launch into a vitriol diatribe at my expense. I you were here with me now, thumbing through my collection, you may be troubled by the scarcity of CK (only got Red and Larks Tongues, which I haven't played for years) yet perhaps appeased by the Fripp and Bruford which abound. Either way, I doubt we'd end up in a slanging match such as the ones that litter this and other threads.
I voted Yes, 'cus it was "Awaken" that "awoke" the Proghead in me.

Right on!
Thankfully, raggy, real slanging remains the exception, rather than the rule, here on our dear old Prog Archives.
Of course, anonymity can lead to ready abuse, but only your passengers will hear you in your car (unless you drive a convertible, and use a megaphone, that is!), whereas this is a public forum. Here, the whole world (well, all 427 prog fans, plus the CIA, anyway ) can read what we write....

Tull is no. 1 in my book. Then again, I get most of my books from the public library. Don't know what that means but I like it...
Btw, let's see more fighting and bitching in this forum. Enough with the fake politeness. If you're angered because someone's opinion is DIFFERENT than yours, show them your well rounded and discriminating taste in music by insulting them and cursing their posterity. That'll show 'em your bands are the best....
Btw again, F___ all you tone deaf King Crimson fans! Ha ha!

Did someone change forum names? This guy sounds strangely familiar.
Fake Politeness? Tone-deaf KC fans? Egad, another troll about, I'd say.... Manni, someone has shat in the sandbox, eh?

Actually, Danbo, methinks that sonofsamimnot was poking fun at all of us, and the idea that, simply because one can unleash invective and insult, it somehow makes them "righter" about their favorites than someone else is about theirs.
If not, we'll soon find out, no? 
Peace.

Just a small bit of humor there folks. ( and I do mean a small bit ). No need or use for trolls here, just another proggie with a different outlook on things...
Oh...
Q: Why is there no such thing as a tone deaf KC fan?
A: That's a trick question. King Crimson has no fans!
Just teasing, lighten up!

I casted my vote to Pink Floyd, but still I think there are way too many bands that were just left out from this poll...

in my opinion all these bands have their own advantages and disadvantages related with music and mood...
my "favorite" would be KingCrimson, D.Theatre, zappa, yes, emerson, lake and palmer... lets say i like majority of mentioned bands (to be precise these which i realy know and have heared) and I wouldn't like to mark out some of them, maybe it's newbie opinion (i mean not only my status here) maybe i dont have very clearly opinion about some of the bands, but i know that this is right music and that is enough for me... I dont give a sh*t what other think about one or other band i just listen and enjoy music...

well, exactly, KC are never boring, but i was shocked by their last album "a power to believe" it was something other than progressive, but for a great band like that i could blame myself for not liking one of their albums |
Really? I was really impressed by that album. 'The ConstruKction of Light', on the other hand: perhaps the only KC album that I don't really like. I'm not sure why, but I can hardly get through it from beginning to end without feeling exhausted.
My vote definately goes with KC, in any case. I love almost everything they've ever done, and they have never ceased to push forward. Strangely, I'm usually a bit thrown everytime I listen to something new by them (or old, working my way through the back catalogue). But inevitably, after multiple listens, I exclaim, "Wow, this is fantastic. Don't know why I didn't see it at first." Only exceptions: TCOL and parts of 'Islands'.
