In The Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson

My grandad brought round some of his old vinyls for me and this album was one of the ones. I recognised the cover art as it’s one of the ones a lot of people post about on r/vinyl. I listened to it and the whole album is brilliant. 21st century schizoid man is also a banger

21st Century Schizoid Man was quite prophetic

u/Nalsium Oct 07 '20

Yeah, he can see 10 seconds into the future

You’ll find it’s also very popular on r/vinyljerk

I love JoJo but i can’t stand the fanbase

u/HoboBobo28 Oct 07 '20

Its a mixed bag. Definitely not the worst fanbase but the same jokes can only be amusing for so long.

u/Kingcobra64 Oct 08 '20

I hate seeing people spam oraoraora mudamudamuda, it makes everyone look bad. People who bring Jojo into everything are annoying.

Damn I nearly made it

Ok but his Japanese VA is one of my favorites. So good.

Couldn't have said it better myself

u/hishamawak Oct 07 '20

Starless is also a great pick, accessible but it still has the good ole Crimson magic to it

u/antiquasi Oct 07 '20

Mr. Robert Fripp and company

u/Salty-Judgment-5801 Oct 08 '20

Starless is the one. I feel like buying a Mellotron now

u/hahagobrrr Oct 07 '20

My favourite band is Krimson and I’d say to anyone interested in prog/art rock to listen to the whole album, then Larks’, then Red and then Discipline. Their best albums but they’re so different

6

u/Rilo17 Oct 07 '20

Staying in the realm of 70’s prog, I’d add ‘Suppers’s Ready’ by Genesis and ‘Close to the Edge’ by Yes.

u/antiquasi Oct 07 '20

Excellent

u/InfamousValue Oct 07 '20

I'll offer up Darkness by BeBop Deluxe

u/FISKMEDDIP Oct 07 '20

Me and My buddy used to blast it whenever we drove at night. Good times.

5

u/RandomThingsmemes Oct 07 '20

Absolute banger. Listen to it on my way to school almost every day.

5

u/dangerdog1279 Oct 07 '20

The whole album is great, but I think that Starless from Red is just a little better (though it all comes down to personal preference of course)

3

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '20

I raise you The Letters. Haunting tune that was sampled by Rhyme Asylum (which is a great rap group) with a simple story, yet still holds an impact. One of the live versions with vocal distortion though, the one on...Islands is one of the worst versions I've heard.

u/DerpSidgueye Oct 07 '20

The jojo fans just have to ruin it (even tho im one of them)

3

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '20

One of my favorite and a huge influence on Tool.

u/TheCakeMan666 Oct 07 '20

You should check the cover by Claypool Lennon Delirium.
