For most of my life, I think I hated the English band King Crimson. Still, these are the times when one should challenge their taste, and actually, spend time listening to music that I once hated. Keep in mind that I never heard a full King Crimson album until recently. So my taste was based on being prejudiced and against the idea of 'prog rock.' My first reaction to King Crimson is criminally wrong.
I purchased seven albums by King Crimson. "In The Court of The Crimson King," "In the Wake of Poseidon, "Lizard," Islands," "Larks' Tongues in Aspic, "Starless and Bible Black, and their last album of this grouping "Red." Although I always admired Robert Fripp as a guitarist and making music with Brian Eno, David Bowie, and others, it was very recently that I sat down and listened to all seven early King Crimson albums. Here I confront my prejudice ways and come out as a new admirer of King Crimson.
