IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING

I suppose I am the only person who doesn't even take a liking to King Crimson's first effort, as well as the foundation for Prog. I find the music lacking, and not just from production. The opening track, "21st Century Schizoid Man," is one that I've always loathed, and yet, it probably receives the most acclaim from the Prog community. The whole album is really a total blur, except for perhaps the only song I enjoy off of it, "The Court of the Crimson King," and even that is not worthy of any high regard. To me, King Crimson is one of the most overrated Prog acts ever spawned, even if they were the founders of the genre. ITCOTCK is mundane, and tires out rather quickly. I only suggest it to those of you who are fans of their work, which seems to be every other Prog fan on earth except me.
