Wrong, it's
>pleb: In the Court of the Crimson King
>contrarian: Red

I don't think you know what contrarian means.

contrarian = lizard

Let me help you out.

Red is contrarian because people who fancy themselves patricians because they don't listen to ItCotCK, but don't actually listen to patrician music like LTIA, (pretty much the definition of contrarianism), are the bulk of the people who think Red is the best KC.

Are you sure about that?

>called ItCotCK "ersatz shit"
Yeah, I'm pretty sure of these facts known by virtually every King Crimson fan on /mu/. Did you even read the link you sent?

>>75117714
My point was more that my opinion is nowhere near as bad as Christgau's, but if your best defense is to be as obtuse as possible, there's not much I can do.

>Patrician
Discipline

Your opinion (all but 3 King Crimson albums are for contrarians) is almost exactly like Christgau's opinion (all but King Crimson albums are for contrarians), except at least Christgau recognized that Red, S&BB, and USA are quality and that ItCotCK & Discipline aren't King Crimson's best.

>>75117312
>>patrician: Larks' Tongues in Aspic
You can't be serious.

>>75117867
Red, S&BB and USA are all quality. We literally never bothered talking about the latter two, and I simply called Red the pleb album. Pleb doesn't mean bad. You should rethink what pleb, contrarian, and patrician means.

ITCOTCK is a brilliant album, as is Discipline. Red is brilliant, but very accessible as babbys first Crimson. The rest is also very good, but anyone calling it their best just tries to call the other three albums pleb/contrarian, which is what true contrarianism is. And that's what you are. A contrarian.
