What a lovely lady she was (and still is). Tongue
Toyah (Scissorhands) and Robert with the weirdest (and funniest) ZZ Top cover version you're ever likely to see. Smile


They're only missing Frank Beard (the one without a beard) on drums.

I've actually been to Pershore where Bob & Toyah live - didn't bump into her, tho one or two of the local shopkeepers said she is very pleasant and ordinary (given her iconic status).

Kind of hard to top KC's debut. Chimerical beets are in the back seat being cattywampus.

Greg Lake's debut album should have been great. I can still easily list all the main band, other than Greg himself, Gary Moore on lead guitar, Ted McKenna (ex Rory Gallagher on drums), Tommy Eyre on keyboards, Tristram Margetts on bass (from jazz fusion band Spontanious Combustion). Superb 5 peice line up that kicked serious ass live (you would expect it though) but the album lacked a lot. I like It Hurts and the Gary Moore song Nuclear Attack but after that it's mostly dead weight. The second album was even worse and therein lies the death of Greg's solo career. He never really got going again eventually doing 2 solo tours (one in the 00's and one in the 2010's) but no new material. Lovely guy but it seems that he got as about a 'lucky man' as you can get by ending up in a band with Emerson and Palmer.

This poll, by Paul, may seem a bit of suprise to me, even that kind is seen before - if you know what I mean. Tongue
                      quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond

Adrian Belew even managed to pick up one vote (from Grumpy) against the might Crimson King, which I wasn't expecting. Smile

I've seen the long list of albums coming up in later King Crimson polls and this first poll is as good as it gets, mainly because many of the excellent artists featured in this first poll didn't make a second album. Confused

I wasn't so precise in my remark, as what I meant was "this series of polls". Smile

CENTIPEDE     Septober Energy:- An often overlooked (especially by me) Jazz Fusion classic in the King Crimson canon, produced by Robert Fripp with a huge band led by Keith Tippett featuring no less than fifty players (thereby having a hundred legs like a centipede). Tongue

3 stars 1971: Centipede - Septober Energy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs_Y_Q5F5S4

Psych. Paul:

It's been a week since this one's been up. Any chance you will continue this series? I'd like to see how some of the less popular Crimson albums will fare against their solo competitors. Thanks!

Yes, I've been busy putting together a few other polls in the meantime since posting this first King Crimson poll last week and I can promise the second poll in this series will be coming up sometime next week. If you have The Power to Believe, I'm planning to keep this series of polls running right through to King Crimson's thirteenth and final album in 2003. Thumbs Up
