King Crimson - Red (1974)

I guess time didn't do King Crimson any good. Time placed them in a movement called 'progressive rock', which is a fine musical genre if you give it a chance. I gave it a chance. It started off my musical journey, oddly enough. I was 12 years old and started listening to Yes, Jethro Tull, Genesis, and also these fuckers. King Crimson though, is a band that is so creative with creating layers, textures in music, innovation of sound, that it is highly unfair to place them among those other bands.

King Crimson kept evolving in many ways. Red, their last album before the first of many break-ups, is probably the best example. A lot of prog-elements are still around, but there's always this Crimsony-feeling that comes along and swipes you of your feet at the end of the song.

Kurt Cobain (who had a highly developed taste in music) called this 'the best album ever made'. And I can see what he means.
