2I could take or leave a lot of it, but the run from Larks through to the 80's stuff is huge for me, NC in a million years.
Re: Band: King Crimson
3I don’t listen to their whole catalog anymore, but Larks, Starless and Discipline still get listened to more than a few times a year.
Re: Band: King Crimson
4Obvious NC based on the 72-74 period. There’s tons of other interesting stuff in the rest of the catalogue. I saw them fall 2019 and it was a truly incredible show. It helped that they played a fair amount of the 70s material.

5Not something I've listened to for years but I could never crap Larks and Red.. and hell, the cheesy psych hippie shit on Court... Not a fan of the '80s stuff, despite it being recommended for me several times.
Re: Band: King Crimson
6Absolute NC for everything up to Discipline, and a force of nature live.
We're headed for social anarchy when people start pissing on bookstores.
Re: Band: King Crimson
7Not crap for everything up through Three of a Perfect Pair. I will absolutely go to the mat for Islands, "A Sailor's Tale" is up their with the best of their catalog but the whole album is great. If I had to pick an "era" it'd be the Wetton/Palmer-James era for sure.
Tried to listen to later stuff, double trio or whatevs. Meh.

8I love Court and the Bruford-era 70s stuff. Haven't been able to get into anything post-70s, but those four records alone are all around great.
