King Crimson
Led by innovative guitarist/conceptualist Robert Fripp, King Crimson went through countless changes in style and personnel. They moved from early symphonic/progressive rock to angular, experimental improv to a mixture of hard rock and fusion before breaking up in the mid-'70s. Revived in the '80s, the group modernized its approach by incorporating Gamelan-like polyrhythms and an almost danceable Talking Heads-influenced sound into their approach. Always the coolest of the art-rockers, Crimson was also one of the most influential of the early-'70s prog crowd.

Another woefully incomplete discography. How are these compiled? -

The Creators of Progressive Rock. While Ozzy and Sabbath made "Metal". Fripp and friends were creating their own frenzy of "Classic Progressive Rock". King Crimson set the earliest standards for bands like "Yes", "Dream Theater", "Pearl Jam", "Metallica" and more. If you like Classic Progressive Rock, I recommend listening to the kings who christened this kind of music and gave it it's true birth. -

Does no one like King Crimson? Give them a try and you won't regret it.
