Moonchild - King Crimson
I know I'm in a vast minority, but I've always loved this song. |

I like "Moonchild" as well, but I have to be in the right mood. I used to love the album it's off, then I kind of went away form it for many years as I got interested in other things, and now really enjoy it gain.
My choice would be "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers". Yes it is very acclaimed by some but it also is much loathed by others. I have found it surprising just how polarising it is amonsgt Prog peeps. I think it's brilliant. I also have seen some people say here that they love the first half, but not the second. I adore how the suite evolves, it's shifts and changes, and how it ends. When it ends I just want to play it again. I guess all things are apart, but then again, all things are a part. |

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

I love Plague of Lighthouse Keepers, but there is very little VDGG I don't love.

I used to play IOU, Metal Fatigue, and U.K. so much that I wore out my tapes.
Allan Holdsworth was an incredible artist. I also have his book on Melody Chords. Intricate chords and such an interesting legato style … almost like a saxophone in terms of fluidity. These days I’m listening more to band-centric energetic music that is less focused on virtuosic soloing as the spotlight. I’m not taking anything away from Holdsworth by saying that. His songwriting is elegant, spot-on, and unique but it’s not my current focus at the moment. |

To me Moonchild is wonderful as part of the full album experience. But it's the track on the album I would be the least likely to feel like playing on its own. I think of the four other compositions as timeless classics, so I guess I don't place it up there with the others in that regard. But that's not what it's made for.
So Meddle is my favorite Pink Floyd album. I'm not gonna fight for Seamus. I do find it enjoyable and fun enough (but I wouldn't mind if they had included the studio version of Embryo instead). -San Tropez however is just so effortlessly beautiful to me. I love it as much as anything. I feel like the average progger dismiss it by default. When it's not judged on its own terms you miss out on what it actually aims for - and succeed at. I know I'm exactly like that myself at times though. Maybe More Fool Me is an excellent track for what it is too, I wouldn't know, and I never want to hear it again. So while I think it's unfair each time I'm the one with the unpopular opinion, I fully understand why and how this happens. |
