XTreme Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 How many of these classic albums can you name? I got 16 before I looked at the answers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I think I've got 16 too....it'd be 18 if I could remember the names of the Todd Rundgren and Greenslade albums. Ooh....ooh.....Rick Wakeman - Tales of King Arthur? Does that give me 17 confirmed? I think that I've got 13 of them on vinyl or CD too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only heard a little King crimson and must take time to listen to more. I've got a whistle test special recorded and frame by frame is on there so I can't erase it as I like it so much. Must confess I've never heard of this one. B3 Van Der Graf Generator - Pawn Hearts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a whistle test special recorded and frame by frame is on there so I can't erase it as I like it so much. The thing with King Crimson is that the line-up has changed so many times over the years and the music changes with it. I think my favourite line-up was Robert Fripp, Bill Bruford, John Wetton and Eddie Jobson. I've got a live album from the 70's called USA with that line-up and it ranks as one of my favourite records. The line-up on Frame By Frame was with Adrian Belew and Tony Levin, which was another great line-up. Matte Kudasai is a fantastic song. Adrian Belew's vocals are perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No......the original with Greg Lake on vocals and Michael Giles on drums was the definitive lineup! I think I'm right in saying "In the Court" was the very first Prog album! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Crimson songs used to get taken down almost instantly on YouTube until recently. Seems that Robert Fripp has mellowed in his old age! Mind you, have you seen some of the videos that he and Toyah have put on Facebook over the past months? Toyah and Robert's Sunday Lunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
