No man, it is totally true. I may have heard something on PlanetRock before but I dont have any of their albums and cant name their songs im afraid. Ive heard there Prog Rock.
I first heard of them on these music forums & got mixed up at first with an avant garde band called 'King Missile' who are extremely weird and most people wouldnt like them although people like Zappa so I guess it's possible.
Anyway anybody got any first album recommendations for King Crimson.
I get the impression there one of the 'unsung' or lower profile Prog Rock bands such as 'Devo' or 'Camel' whom somebody introduced me to not that long ago and they are not bad bands.

Yeah this is pretty much what i was trying to say. It just isnt Rock as I would class it. I get what youre saying with them being around before Rush & Sabbath etc but I still wouldnt use the phrase 'more rock' than Sabbath or Rush. Also I think that people have different perceptions of genres obviously the core of the genre is still relevant but Ive had people say to me 'whats that headbanging your listening to?' & Ive been listening to Neil Young lol & I wouldnt class that as being 'heavy' as such.
I wouldnt even class Sabbath as being that heavy either tbh as I listen/have listened to much heavier stuff than that.
But fair enough man, youre entitled your own opinions as I am with mines
