How do you rate King Crimson if you rate them at all?i fucking love them.
Sure, most of their 70s lyrics were wank, but the music always rocked insanely, and Robert Fripp is a demigod as far as i'm concerned. Then there's Bill Bruford, later Tony Levin, and Adrian Belew. Titans, i say, titans! 
Haven't followed them of late, and i think they may have lost the plot what with middle-class middle-aged existences and all, but 'Discipline' is perhaps the most sophisticated rock album of all time! [smilie=pdt_piratz_15.gif]

Robert Fripp is indeed brilliant. Saw him playing in Salisbury Cathedral a few years ago doing a full on Frippertronics ambient set.

Although my dad likes King Crimson he also likes The Smiths, The Cure, New Model Army n stuff.
But then wait a minute I'm also a dad.

i don't think i've ever heard that much, but the underdog sampled them for the brotherhood so they can't be all bad

do i sense a touch of ageism?!  :wink: 
imo, they were always ahead of their time, but got lumped together with dorky 'prog rock' bands like ELP and Yes and sorta written off because of it. their 80s stuff is more akin to Talking Heads, Bowie and Eno.
their polyrhythmic polymetric approach is way beyond most rock music and later ace 'son bands' like Primus and Tool have often name-checked them.
hmm, sounds to me like many peeps just haven't really heard em. i feel a mash-up and a podcast feature comin' on. 
p.s. hi juxaposeur!
