What's your favorite King Crimson track?
For me it's Exiles. s/o to The Night Watch as well.
Starless
the fucking buildup and breakdown
Sheltering Sky
>>73268662
This, honorable mention to 'Islands' and 'Cadence and Cascade'.
>>73268647
It's gotta be 21st Century Schizoid Man for me
Fracture
>>73268732
Interesting choice.
>>73268647
Epitaph.
Radical Action/Meltdown
Matte Kudasai
>>73268954
Which record is this from?
That live version of Twenty First Century Schizoid Man, in west something, can't find it anymore.
Starless and In The Wake of Poseidon are also good contenders
It's always changing.
Right now I'm really partial to Sleepless and Model Man.
Classic KC? Maybe Epitaph or ITCOTCK. It's like choosing favorite Floyd songs.
>>73268647
Moonchild.
Starless
In The Wake of Poseidon
Epitaph
Easy Money
Discipline
>tfw found a copy of ITCOTCK for a dollar at a thrift store yesterday
>>73268765
>>73269407
These, Exiles and Night Watch are great too
Epitah
>>73268783
yisss
I have a massive love for Frame by Frame
>>73271041
Hell yeah
TWONY FIRSENTRY SCHIZOOID MAYN
>>73268662
My man
Also Discipline and In The Wake of Poseidon
>>73268647
Starless
Sheltering Sky
Epitaph
Sartori in Tangier
Also partial to Islands, god that track is fucking beautiful
>>73268647
IIIIIIII TAOILK TO THE WIIIIIIEEEEEEEENDS
Thela Hun Ginjeet
>>73271041
I'm slowly learning how to play this.
Fave track is Sex Sleep Eat Drink Dream.
>>73272081
that track is fucking wild
Islands, Book of Saturday, Formentera Lady, Larks Pt. 1
What we have gathered from this thread is: Every King Crimson song is 10/10.
Larks Tongues in Aspic part 1. It sounds like a rock band playing a Stravinsky composition. Really amazing stuff.
Fracture
WOOO
I also have a great fondness for Dinosaur.
https://youtu.be/ZASr6Chpey8
>>73273104
Pretty much
>>73268647
Moonchild.
>>73268647
>tfw no one likes lizard :(
the song Cirkus is a really good listen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ-5mngu5IM
Can anyone explain the appeal of Epitaph? I'm not a prog person, but it sounds like pretty general prog wankery. Any prog band from around that time could have written this.
>>73275592
Lizard has some great stuff for sure
>>73275647
People love the sound of the Mellotron and Greg Lake has an amazing voice. At least thats what does it for me :^0
>>73268662
this
>>73268662
Goddammit. Welp, no one's "claimed" it yet, so I Talk to the wind.
>>73273422
Yup
The Talking Drum>Larks pt2 from the Nightwatch album
Live 21stCSM from Earthbound
Fracture
so many damn killer songs
Three of a perfect pair, what an absolute tune.
FAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLEN
AAAAAAAAANNNNGGGEEEEELLLS
>>73275899
fuckk almost forgot about that song
the guitar at 3:58 literally makes me ejaculate
SHE WAITS IN THE AIR
Shame this song never made it to an album
https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZmMJ0kyrZAU
I think Walking on Air is a pretty under rated song
>>73268772
Same here.
It's the song Black Sabbath WISH they had written!
Ozzy would later cover it on a covers album he put out a few years back. His version is quite good.
>>73275592
>Another Cirkus lover
Thought i'd never see the day. That song really is magical.
The Great deceiver and Fracture are also perfect.
I have a thing for Pictures of a City too
>>73272436
What the fuck is context of this picture?
I love the THRAK álbum, you guys should gave it a try.
>>73268647
thela hun ginjeet
Future Days ;^)
>>73278400
it's fripp you moron
>>73268662
>>73268783
Both of these
Anyone see them/going to see them on their recent tour? Me and some friends grabbed tickets for the Minneapolis show amd I'm so hyped.
>>73275743
>The Talking Drum>Larks pt2 from the Nightwatch album
Hell yes, one of the best live moments ever. Along with Asbury Park
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ3UnGQCT1E
In the court of the Crimson King.
>>73275647
I like the lyrics. Keep in mind "any other prog band" didn't even exist at the time the record came out.
>>73279433
I know but what the fuck is he doing?
>Fripp taking a picture in front of a mirror while wearing a fulll suit and a scarf
>clothes hanging at the back
Wtf?
>>73280161
I'm waiting for them to hit the east coast later this year. I already saw them 3 years ago in Philadelphia and I can't wait to see what the new lineup brings to the table
wow, people still listen to boring outdated progressive rock trying to convince themselves that they're special because of it? oh wait this is /mu/ of course they do.

I mean, I guess there's some value to be found in doing the Neil Peart thing before Neil Peart. Kinda.
Cat Food
Easy Money
The Great Deciever
Thela Hun Ginjeet
Neal and Jack and Me
Man With An Open Heart
Dinosaur
fuck I love Adrian Belew
I Talk To the Wind
I'm going to see them live on Tuesday. Stoked.
I have a weird weakness for Larks' Tongues in Aspic.
Discipline is literally, by the very definition of the terms, mathematically and musically perfect.
>>73271041
my fucking nigga
I mean all of my favorite songs have been mentioned except
>>73278345
> The Great Deceiver
good taste
You all have already mentioned most of the songs l like, however, I would like to bring up "Happy with What You Have to Be Happy With" as another great song
>>73275592
Came here to post this
>>73282445
>you fucking faggot
Well that's not very nice.
HEALTH FOOD FAGGOT
>>73277940
You can hear them copying the structure in Electric Funeral
I'm sure they listened to the album and loved the hell out of it back then
TEARS OF JOY AT THE BIRTH OF A BROTHER
NEVER ALONE FROM THAT TIME
>>73268647
One More Red Nightmare
Starless
The Great Deceiver
>>73280161
Saw them last year, absolutely amazing
>>73272436
>Formentera Lady
Nice. My favorite track from Islands.
>>73269545
New songs they've been playing live. They're on Radical Action to Unseat the Hold of Monkey Mind and a few other recent live albums.
>>73269603
Fillmore West? If so, it's probably one of the versions on that Epitaph live comp. Some of those live tracks fucking rip.
