Rules for music close you out of greatness.

Not gonna bother downloading tbh

I've heard a bit of their stuff on Youtube playlists. Seems allright, but I'm not dying to hear a whole album.
Exploring prog without exploring King Crimson is like exploring the solar system and only going to the moon.

Like I told you, go listen to Renaissance. I'd make the argument that practically every female singer-songwriter you enjoy, including Kate Bush, can trace their style back to them.

I love King Crimson and Yes and Gentle Giant as much as the next proghead, but you need to start with a band that at least crosses over somewhat into music you already like. Everyone needs a gateway artist.

I don't even want to listen to prog. Much less write about it.

Momentary lapse of judgment.

Low bar for a torture thread.

You should still check out King Crimson though because they're legitimately the best prog has to offer. I can hook you up with a few albums if you like.
