I just discovered "The Court Of The Crimson King" by King Crimson and it's a darn good song.

LOL, I just thought it would be cute to include that line from Genesis’ “It” (from The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway).

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Wow.. Fun stuff! Amazing brass!!

[dfwgator]

Rachel is amazing. She also did a version of “Trilogy”.

[Maskot]

Born in 63 in Detroit! Lots of awesome music that’s been laying dormant

[Tijeras_Slim]

I was more partial to the Discipline album, particularly “Sheltering Sky”

[MV=PY]

Thank you.

I didn’t know where to start. ;)

King Crimson is an acquired taste. Very proggy, like Hawkwind, Yes, ELP, bands like that. If you want to hear a band I’d like to see go down in a firey plane crash, it’s the Moody Blues. Hearing ‘Knights in White Satin’ makes me want to on a killing spree.

[smvoice]

..AND Locomotive Breath. The BEST. Imho

King Crimson was great. Not nearly as popular in the US as they should have been.

Check out Rory Gallagher as well.

No idea of what that means. Grunge is the only noise I can ID when I hear it.

[Notthemomma]

And don’t overlook Uriah Heep!
Try “Stealin’”

(and here they are in more recent live versions of the song, more energetic! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiRFW8QSQYY
and 2013: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbb7du0Sgy8
LOL, they’re aging well).

Or try “Easy Living”

or “The Magician’s Birthday” from the live album “Uriah Heep Live January 1973.”

For old women?

Spookytooth, “Cotton Growing Man,” from “You broke my heart so I busted your jaw,” released 1973.

Rory Gallagher was amazing. Definitely a Top 5 Guitarist for me.

[doorgunner69]

Was just thinking of that album reading this thread. Incredible LP sound, almost too sharp.

[dfwgator]

A couple of other more obscure Progressive bands that I discovered and really like are “Gentle Giant” and “Van der Graaf Generator”.

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Omgosh.. Did you see this?! www.OnTheBlueCruise.com

Welcome! Glad to have you in the club.

[TChad]

I lasted 15 seconds.

I made it through a couple of minutes, but this is not my music either.

Still, I'm glad to see this thread. It is a rare, wonderful experience to find a new piece of music that connects on so many levels that you have to listen to it dozens of times. Come to think of it, that could be the basis for an FR thread.

Another group to check out, one I discovered only recently, but they were around back in the '70'a: Dixie Dregs.

Steve Morse is the lead guitarist, he is better known as the guitarist for Deep Purple. I saw them twice last year on their reunion tour.
