King Crimson is a rock band founded in 1969. Although typically categorised as a foundational progressive rock group, the band has incorporated diverse influences and instrumentation during its history. The band has been influential on many contemporary musical artists and gained a large cult following despite garnering little radio or music video airplay.

The band's lineup (centred on guitarist Robert Fripp) has persistently altered throughout its existence, with eighteen musicians and two lyricists passing through the ranks. A greater degree of stability was achieved later on in its history (with current frontman Adrian Belew having been a consistent member since 1981).

In the Court of the Crimson King released in 1969 is their debut album. It is generally viewed as one of the strongest of the progressive rock genre, where King Crimson largely stripped away the blues-based foundations of rock music and mixed together with jazz and European symphonic elements. In his 1997 book Rocking the Classics, critic and musicologist Edward Macan notes that In the Court of the Crimson King "may be the most influential progressive rock album ever released".

  • The write up is wrong. Their have been four lyricists for the band, not two.

  • King Crimson invented metal. That's right, I said it. I feel like they should receive as much credit in the metal/hard rock genre as Sabbath does. Some of the riffs in this song are very heavy, especially for their time. This band will forever be my favorite.

  • 素晴らしいです。

  • The stewardess made me, but the captain forbade me.

  • Bruford's drums make me melt ...

  • Does ANYBODY know a LIVE VERSION of this song?!?!

  • @boozygrogy Yes! Cause the intro riffs are made of three tones from the whole tone scale and with a major third in the top which is also from that scale. Robert Fripp is also always trying strange things out ;)

  • (more inane comments forthcoming)

  • @elchungungo Very hard to understand why, but I suppose it's just too deep for some people. Messianic stuff. Nothing against facial hair though personally, even though I choose not to have any myself.

  • are they using whole tones scale in this song?
