Today, 40 years ago, King Crimson was born. Marking 40 years since their initial rehearsal as King Crimson, with Robert Fripp, Greg Lake, Michael Giles and Ian McDonald as personnel.
Why not celebrate by listening to your favorite KC album… and feel free to post your selection by making a comment below. Long live the King!
A couple days late.
I listened to
- LTIA
- Discipline
and watched Deju Vroom to complete the trifecta.
PS. Something seems to be missing in my life, for the last year. Oh yeah, the KN podcast.
I listened to power to believe for celebration purposes
… really love the album, despite the sound.
And the CD I of heavy construKction is still in the car stereo.
I’d like to say Happy Birthday KC, you’ve changed my life!
RED!!!!!!!RED!!!!!!!!!!!!RED!!!!!!!!!!
ITCOTCK & Islands

21st C.
LTiA I
LTiA II
One More Red Nightmare
Happy to Have What You Have to Be Happy With
Discipline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Great Deceiver boxed set.
Live at Cap D’Agde.
Any album would be great chioce.
In the wake of poseidon,the most underated of the early crimson albums. I know Greg Lake didn’t recieve credit for playing Bass on this album,but,after hearing the epitaph live cd set from the first american tour,he must’ve shown Peter Giles the Bass patterns note for note.This is an Awesome album and continues to be my personal favorite..
Ray d./Bassist/Yar’s revenge and Ghost cirkus.
USA must be one of the best! Asbury Park, what a great number: Bob’s lead and John’s bass working magically together. By the way, does anyone know where I can get a copy of Sid Smith’s “In the Court of King Crimson” with out paying £60+ on Amazon?
Best Regards,
David
I keep in my car at all times The HWWYHTBHW EP! I listen to “Mie Gakure” as my daily Mantra! Sometimes 2 three times in a row. I love turning people onto it, then ask them to try identify the instruments playing!
Hey guys! It’s time to reunite. I really need to see you again on stage…and a new album will be absolutly amazing…
