Totally Progtastic Mates - Not 'Alf!!

This is simply peerless. Bob Fripp is a much underestimated genius.

King Crimson-tastic!!

I got two minutes into it but then it became muffled with all the blood oozing from my ears - that is bird poo!

Surely not!! 😄

Perhaps an acquired taste for some but my advice is to stick with it. It's toptastic!!

One of my favourites to be fair.

But am now listening to Close to the Edge by Yes.

The Fragile album by Yes is brilliant! You must be older than you look.

For You is my favourite MM track. Better than the original Springsteen version. Superbly sung by Chris Thompson.

Bruford on the tubs as well, sublime. USA live 1975 is the one like, great album.
Btw, have you listened to much Porcupine Tree? I highly recommend Fear Of A Blank Planet, possibly one of the best albums of the last 10 years.

Crack open a few cans, sit back and enjoy. One of Britain's greatest ever drummers plays with them as well.

I was big fan of early prog, early Floyd, King Crimson and my favourites ELP, but I did drift away from it. Still enjoying listening to the first few ELP albums though.

Don't say he died of a self inflicted gunshot wound?

Never really been a KC fan, though happy to acknowledge their significant influence. Always seemed a little disjointed for my taste.

Is that noise supposed to be music in the OP ?!?

I suppose it just all sounds 'Bang bang bang", eh Granddad?

Grandad ?!

Sounds like a cat getting castrated

Ah, my apologies, you must be a young whippersnapper then. :thup:

It's something my old dad might've said about the Rolling Stones (a popular beat combo from the (19) 60s)

Would concede that KC can be something of an acquired taste though.
