A rather abitrary list of 60s albums in PA

King Crimson - In The Court Of The Crimson King

I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Santana fanboy (apart from the numerous songs with guest singers, I bypass all those like I avoid traffic jams). The 1969 self-titled album is the birth of the Latin rock subgenre and thus is exceedingly important.

Of course, I also love Crimson, Jimi and Miles!

KC, Jimi, Beatles, Santana, Zappa...

1) King Crimson
2) Hendrix
3) Santana

Interesting, I wrote before that I was going to vote for those same three, but then excised it from my vote as I felt I also wanted to vote for Pentangle's and Arzachel. Now I recall that I set it up so that I am permitted by the guidelines I wrote to vote for more than three options if I or anyone do so choose. EDIT: gave those a vote but would like to vote for most here (not surprising as these are all my choices even if rather arbitrarily chosen from albums I know and like).

While I included ItCotCK, actually it's not one of my favourite KC releases. I prefer the 1970 to 1974 period. And while In the Wake of Poseidon gets accused by some as being too much like In the Court, and I've heard it called a rip-off of the debut, I considerably prefer it to In the Court of the Crimson King. Lizard, Islands, Larks' Tongues in Aspic and Red are magnificent to me. Unlike many, I am not into Discipline.
