[amccann7]

[zarakhast]

So jazzy and groovy ! One of the best bands ever to grace the Earth.

[MagicCryo]

@zarakhast saying groovy is back in. you heard it here first ;)

[zarakhast]

@MagicCryo Technically speaking it might not be "groovy" but I just don't care : it's groovy to me :)

[DreDaDon16]

this music is the shit. most niggas don't listen to rock but i can fuck with it

[rgaleny]

Elephant talk.

[thomaspyjamas]

PF vs. KC... how mindless. 

[TheShagsJam]

jazzy



[electrovox1212]

Long Live the K C !!! \\\\|////

[Drunkmeonatrip]

Psy, Prog and Glam Rock are (in my ears) the best kind of music ever created.

[Drunkmeonatrip]

Pink Floyd were Prog rock.

They started with a psychedelic sound (while Syd Barrett was still with them (what a genius)), but when he got too messed up and crazy and they had to take him out of the band, they started exprimentation. That phase of the band transformed them from a great typically briliant psychedelic rock band to a prog band. Pink Floyd than kept progressive thill the end, starting with Meddle and creating masterpieces like The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here.

[banjosi1]

KEITH TIPPET really makes this happen

[czgibson]

Best track on an otherwise fairly weak album made in difficult circumstances. Keith Tippett's piano rules on this.

[marshphoenix]

That was sweet.......love the bass :)

[shakedownstreet48]

I use to sit in my bedroom on LSD and listen to this band for hours. Everytime i hear Lakes voice i can almost feel the acid again. Fun times.

[mickeymousebiker1]

Like Jethro Tull, this band was a great amalgam of different styles of music. A band of very talented gents, indeed.

[amindbody]

I love the sound of this drum kit.

[hiddenfire65]

Michael Giles sounds amazing.

[chumanjames]

his voice is really horrible.

[Lurtzman1]

@chumanjames Listen to the title track of their first album & you'll start to think otherwise.

[TheArabassist]

@chumanjames it really isn't. it was just distorted for this song because it's a different style to everything else

[TheHuntress144]

love the dissonance, but i'm just not feeling this one. those lyrics are just...really really dumb. the improvisation is what saves Cat Food. the screaming delivery falls flat too whereas on 21st cen schizoid man it was the crowning glory of that track. the only skipper on the album...and i say this as a cat person.

[newfuckingwave]

@TheHuntress144 i agree. this is the only crimson song i can't really get into much at all

[maalbe987]

Great song but I wish the piano part was a little less dissonant.

[skutratufahija]

@maalbe987 then we would have a common rock song and this way it's far more crimson-like. dissonance, oh it can be so beautiful. here it definitely is.

[maalbe987]

@skutratufahija True. And since I posted that comment this song has grown on me a bit more, and now I actually think the piano adds a lot to the song.

[jigawhen]

the first few Crimso's are the very best in headphonically induced mental driftwood

[infinitedesire123]

Beatles :-) ah, again: on dope

[infinitedesire123]

Beatles :-)

[GlassEyeProject]

This band is so "Legendary" they are in there own category of legendaryness .... Awesome sound, extremely tight yet reckless but perfectly blended.

[ariciph]

awesome dissonant piano chords

[freudastaire]

I can hear Lennon here. This sounds like The Beatles if they didn´t ever stopped to grow on psychedelia. But they were not so gifted as these crazy Kings, so we 'll never know.

[weischamp]

Genius!!!

[AnniesBoutique]

i imagine you could end a party quicklike playing this

[facecheek]

wooh! time sig 11/8 kind of!

[onyxfig]

@facecheek it's not 11/8 it's 19/8

[biribikan]

you could say its a bit jazzy, a bit beatles-ish or whatever...

BUT this thing is a one of a kink kind of thing

is this RAP? no...

the drumming makes all the difference..

genius song

[Interst890]

some of the best piano-playing of all time.

[FunkMastaMegaFlex]

If it wasn't for King Crimson prog rock would be just a theory! and not an art form!

[sup9001]

@FunkMastaMegaFlex

Pink Floyd made it art -.-

[FunkMastaMegaFlex]

@sup9001 Leave the floyd out of this. I wouldn't even call Floyd prog rock. They were a blues based rock band with some pretty wierd affects and ideas tossed in. These guys here really went wild with blending in themes from Classic composers like Motzart and Jazz fused with classic rock! But Floyd is still a good band, no disrespect.

[martin2sax]

@FunkMastaMegaFlex Well don't tell me shine on you crazy diamond or echoes isn't prog.

[FunkMastaMegaFlex]

@martin2sax Those songs are cool 2. Echoes is really great, but King Crimson overall sound is very unique. PF, uses a lot of blues roots and classic rock with elements of psychedilia tossed in there. However, King Crimson borrows more from Classical european composers with jazz. Listen to Red by King Crimson, that song was that song is really unique and lacks the more traditional foundation that floyd songs are based on. KC music is just more unique I guess, but they are both excellent bands.

[bbout19]

@sup9001 Pink Floyd had some prog songs and albums, but for the majority, they weren't truly prog. Animals and Echoes are really great prog Floyd, but King Crimson is all prog....King Crimson and Yes are truly my favorite prog bands, a close second with Genesis and Gentle Giant.....

[martin2sax]

@bbout19 What's prog in Pink Floyd is the concepts, something sometimes forgot in prog bands, but yes, Yes and King Crimson are more prog

[lukuntri]

@martin2sax pink floyd is more psychedenelic/progressive rock and progressive rock has sub genre space rock wich is it so pink floyd is space rock

[lukuntri]

@bbout19 hi i see you have good taste of music and the band "emerson,lake and palmer" do you know it? and greg lake is vocal/bass just like in kc.so ELP is my favourite band im just in love with it

[bbout19]

@lukuntri Yeah, I really dig ELP.....only thing with them is that I wish they used just a few less classical cover-type stuff....Greg Lake is pretty great vocals, too.....I don't really like it when all these different proggers argue over which prog band is better.....we should just be glad that there are other people out there who like KC, Yes, Gentle Giant, ELP, Camel, Genesis, Gong, Pink Floyd (as shown above), The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Van Der Graaf Generator, and all the other greats...

[lukuntri]

@bbout19 yeah i know what dou you mean about classical stuff but i like it classical music was first music people did so they just covered musogorskys pictures at an exhibition and its awsome with hammond b3 and moogmodular.but elp is more keyboard based group i play on keyboards so like elp very much

[bbout19]

@lukuntri Maybe that's why others dig them more than me....I'm a guitarist, soooooo yeah......hahahaha but still, I love ELP, just not as much as some....

[newfuckingwave]

@bbout19 funny but i think just the opposite. crimson wasn't at all confined to a single genre. for the most part they were prog, especially early on, but flirted with avant garde and heavy metal during the wetton era. and the adrian belew line-up was crimson's take on new wave. i adore pink floyd, but barring the first three albums they pretty much stayed the prog course (although meddle is a multi-faceted and brilliant piece). ironically, i do consider crimson to be the greatest ever prog band

[maalbe987]

@newfuckingwave I agree with what you said about genre-hopping. A couple songs on The Power to Believe (like Happy With What You Have to Be Happy With) sound like they've been listening to a lot of Nine Inch Nails.

[bbout19]

@newfuckingwave Yeah, I see where you're coming from, but because they incorporated so many genres, like the ones you said, thats what makes them prog during those different eras. They were combining new wave with metal sounds, and on top of it prog style rhythms and time sigs! Thats why King Crimson is all prog to me. But again, I see where you're coming from....both bands, Floyd and Crimson, are some of the best around.....

[newfuckingwave]

@bbout19 yeah well put. and that's where they had every prog band beat. they just brought more and more in

[Victorjky]

@bbout19 Wrong,the best prog is Pink Floyd and Rush,i want put King Crimson in that list but only In Court of King Crimson is good in my opinion.

[bbout19]

@Victorjky Ok, come on, we're seriously gonna have this argument? I love Rush and Pink Floyd, they're both two of my favorite bands, but King Crimson is just more progressive than Pink Floyd. It's really that simple. And have you not heard the Red, Larks' Tongue in Aspic, Islands, or any other album ever created by the genius that is Robert Fripp and co.? If you seriously wanna beat up on some of my favorite bands saying they're not as good as some of my other fav bands, go ahead

[jacquesfrank]

@bbout19 Don't forget Van der Graaf Generator!

[skutratufahija]

this is like beatles having a cup of tea with chick corea. this and ladies of the road. but that doesn't make difference that this is astonishing. king crimson can afford themselves hommages since they practically invented a lot of things in the world of prog rock. there would be no mars volta, tool etc. if there wasn't king crimson.

[triplehydra]

I love this song, Crimson doing a jazzy poppy short sort of thing that is awesome. They never made another song quite like this.

Not sure about it sounding like the Beatles, though. Greg Lake's shouting is a little John Lennon-ish I guess.

[MrNeilpeartfan]

What king crimson songs/albums are more like this song?

[wentkat]

@MrNeilpeartfan The first two King Crimson albums; 21st Century Schizoid Man and In the Wake of Poseidon. Also, do a youtube search for "Drop in - Early King Crimson with Greg Lake on Vocal"

[fedegas13]

1:36 TRAIN!! first time I listened to this song I thought it was real

[bluecobra95]

Proggin!

[Brollyhero99TOP10]

This band is more than legendary....

[TheHemiDodge426]

@Brollyhero99TOP10 Epic, really, and most probably not to be duplicated....Fripp alone places it in a class all its own.....

[melmack76]

in no way dose the song sounds anything like come together.....someone is tone def!

[wentkat]

Greg Lake's vocals and bass rule this tune!

[deadphish69]

@wentkat Thats Peter Giles on bass not Lake.

[RealHH4U]

one seems like he fail the shot xD

[blackandtanful]

CAT FOOD

[Doobie1975]

For some reason this sounds like a Steely Dan song, great song though

[DavidKinner]

@Doobie1975 Really? I kind of thought the opening sounded just a little bit too much like a ripoff of The Beatles "Come Together"

[lughlongarm76]

@DavidKinner It's not the same. I actually like Cat Food's bass line more, but Come Together's is stronger... kind of the driving force behind the song.

[jahrastapack]

@DavidKinner first of all no one should ever feel bad if something sounds like a 'ripoff of the Beatles'. they werent exactly angels when it came to creating original material

[velo220957]

Ottimo Keith Tippett al piano

[thegerrie19561]

Not even fit for a horse. This one is a very good one. Come on Fripp, give us more catfood or Lark's Tongues in Aspic.

[thegerrie19561]

Not even fiy for a horse. This one is a very good one. Come on Fripp, give us more catfood or Lark's Tongues in Aspic.

[williedb47]

Excellent . Thank you Tony for sharing. Nadine:)
