I once worked with a guy who had two musical obsessions - King Crimson and Kate Bush (he had that great poster of Kate Bush in the workout gear on his wall... perv.) Anyway, he kept on trying to convince me that they had dozens of fantastic albums. I never got past In the Court of the Crimson King. It's brilliant. It created a whole new genre. I just found the other more work to listen to... whereas their debut rewards me every time.

The reason why this is the greatest so-called progressive rock band of all time is quite simple: they never escalated into theatrically overblown self-indulgence, but were actually progressive forward-thinking musicians as the genre name suggests.

King Crimson varies so much from album to album that liking or hating one does not allow you to predict how you will feel about the next one.
