Exactly that. If I hadn't listened to those albums as a kid and enjoyed them so much, I would never have checked out the 70s albums, and I wouldn't have become a progfan. Now THAT's a horrible thought.

Not a fan of any 80's era albums of all those bands, but Crimso provided the most experimental and intriguing work during new wave era.

Crimson by a wide margin. Then I prefer A Momentary Lapse of Reason to all the others on the list's albums from the 80s.
 
 
 
 
ps:  (and I prefer The Final Cut to any 80s Crimson album)

Crimson easily, not a fan of the 80's output of the the other bands at all, well maybe Broadsword, but that's it.

Why did you not include Rush. They are 70's giants. But they had done great stuff from the 80's. But I voted for KC.


I was kind of thinking about the most classic sounding prog bands in the 70's, and from Britain (though I failed to put that in my OP). I didn't include Pink Floyd (even though they were an even bigger band) because they weren't doing quiet the same kind of prog as the other 4 bands.

This plus all the others made a load of sh*t in the 80s

80's KC is my favourite King Crimson. Beat is better than In The Court. There I said it. Bowdown
