I really like Pick a Dub. And, I'm sure if I was insane enough to get my hands on some weed here in Malaysia (It’s a Muslim country), I'd like it even more. LOL. But for the most part it sounds like an unfinished demo tape. An incredible demo tape, but a demo tape nonetheless.

Meanwhile, Red is simply a BEAST of a record. A masterpiece. One of THE HEAVIEST albums of all time. It's a heat seeking missile headed directly for my overall chart.

Red.

One is the perfect lazy sunday smoking herb type of record, and the other is a colossal jagged mountain of riffs.

There's a reason Robert Fripp is my favorite rock guitarist. Unlike some other gifted guitarists, Fripp's brilliance often lies in his most restrained, subtle moments.

Pick a Dub is fun and possibly influential but Red is a giant flaming sun burning pretty much everything in its pass including Dub.... 😄

He was raised in Kingston Jamaica, hung out with Bob Marley and the other founders of Reggae. In 1974 he started a new direction for the music called 'dub'. Here is Keith Hudson, the Dark Prince of Reggae, with 'Pick a Dub'.

In the Court of the Crimson King from 1969 is considered one of the Best Albums of All Time. BEA has it at number 51, the 4th best from that year. But that is not the album under consideration. Five years after their amazing debut, King Crimson had been reduced to a trio, but that did not stop them from producing another major ground-break album. It's called Red.
