I love King Crimson. Their guitarist Robert Fripp is my favorite and one of the best ever next to John McLaughlin from the Mahavishnu Orchestra.

King Crimson is da ****. I think I might prefer them over PF. Tool is good too, but King Crimson was one of the original Prog bands.

I'm a big fan of ELP. Their first album is unreal.

And yeah, King Crimson is pretty insane, too. Court of the Crimson King is definitely a top 5'er

To each his own. I love King Crimson, but my favorite prog ROCK band is Jethro Tull. Prog metal is a different matter, though...

Red, In The Court of The Crimson King, Lark's Tongue In Aspic, and Discipline are all good ones. Start with ITCTCK.

I listened to Epitaph which I thought was alright and 21st Century Schizoid Man which I thought was complete garbage.

I like King Crimson, but my favourite prog rock band is definately YES, although I'll only listen to YES albums up to the Relayer album. I'm almost suprised to see prog being discussed on this site though, I've been a member for over a year and this is the first topic about prog I've seen yet

Probably one of my favourite bands, the first album was so impressive, and Red is just mindblowing to me. Didn't think much of Discipline though, maybe I just don't get the 80's prog rock. :/

One of my favorite bands, however, I feel that their first album is one of the most criminally overrated albums of all time.

Of course.

Van Der Graaf Generator, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Wishbone Ash...all of them inspired some of my favorite artists.

King Crimson are alright, some good tracks and superior musicianship, but it's their fans that put me off. Some of them I know like King Crimson just for the intellectual appeal, and it's this pretention that puts me off.

Well, some of their stuff is. They really hit their "progressive apex" on Lateralus. Both Undertow and Aenima weren't too progressive, and even on Lateralus it's only just touching the genre really. Other progressive (rock) bands like Porcupine Tree and Frost* are much better at that particular styIe.

ok see that makes things more clearly, though i still dont see Aenima as a prog rock album and I still don't consider them a prog band but i could be mistaken. Their lyrics never came across to me in that way before.

Art rock and progressive rock are almost interchangeable in some cases. Dredg is another band that can go either way. Tool could also be considered metal. Genre classification is difficult. :P

I agree that their earlier stuff does flirt with the more artistic side of things while still following traditional rock structures rather than progressive ones. I guess it's just that the terms are interchangeable that makes those albums "progressive."

http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive-rock.asp#definition

Here's a good definition. Dredg doesn't really have much progressive about them, but they're classified as crossover prog at progarchives....
