that picture of blixa reminded me that einsturzende neubauten hasn't released a bad album yet. they have released a few so so albums but not a bad one.

[Everyneurotic]

king crimson > sonic youth.

sorry, it's just true.

[Rob Instigator]

ha!!!

make me laugh again!!!!

next you will say that frank zappa andthe mothers of invention are better than screeching weasel?

ha ha ha!

[Everyneurotic]

ohh no, frank zappa sucks balls with the exception of weasels ripped my flesh.

[Androol]

however king crimson does seem to be stretching the bounds of what the criteria is for greatest band with regards to how fripp has been the only constant member by a large margin.

[Everyneurotic]

same argument as the fall.

[Rob Instigator]

yeah, so fuck the fall and king crimson

both of them

[Androol]

so do the rolling stones really have that many bad albums?

[uhler]

young marble giants have the best catalog since they only released one perfect album and a great ep and single. that's all a band needs to do.

about half of their catalog is bad, but the good ones are so good that they make up for the bad ones.

No no no.

In Court of the Crimson King is one of their worst, it was obvious that Robert Fripp didn't really have his ideas and visions concentrated at that point in time. The only good track is the first one. Yet it's one of the first prog albums so it's considered the greatest ever for some reason. In The Wake of Poseidon was pretty bad also, so was Islands.

Now 1974 was when the Crimson REALLY took off, Red is absolutely astounding and so is Larks Tongue In Aspic, another innovative masterpiece.

Leaving the 70's for a moment, King Crimson had a string of awesome albums throughout the 80s, while Beat isn't great, Three of a Perfect Pair is neat and Discipline is another masterpiece. THRAK and it's accompanying EP is good 90's Crimson and The Power To Believe is awesome Crimson from this decade so you are wrong.

Sorry, I am a fanboy. King Crimson have a stronger catalogue than Sonic Youth but I still prefer SY.
