Similar to Yes, in a short period of time in the early 70's King Crimson released a large amount of
albums that are the collectively the genre's peak moments even to this day. Starting with their debut
and most well recognized release, In the Court of the Crimson King (Island, 1969). While this
may not be the greatest album they've ever done, their ambitious creativity from the beginning is
mind-blowing. In the Wake of Poseidon (Island, 1970) is a tremendous sophomore effort, followed
up by rock mammoths Lizard (Island, 1970), Islands (Island, 1971) and the untouchable
Larks' Tongue in Aspic(Island, 1973) . They turn down the experimentation a little bit
on Starless and Bible Black (Island, 1974) and Red (Island, 1974), the latter containing their
most melodic and radio-friendly writing. Almost a decade later they re-assemble to join the New Wave
movement with the Talking Heads guitarist doing lead vocals on Discipline (E'G, 1981),
Beat (E'G, 1982) and Three of a Perfect Pair (E'G, 1984), still using sonic experimentation
just this time adding synths instead of only guitars.
