    Don't know about the band, but I know I dislike the hell out of the Alabama Crimson Tide
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    "Red" is probably the greatest album of all-time...it's my favorite anyway. The band that turned out "Lark's Tongue in Aspic", "Starless and Bible Black" and "Red" is beyond amazing and underrated.

    The boxed set of live shows from that era, "The Great Deceiver", is to die for.

    I discovered this great band through Tool. The only album I've gotten so far has been Power To Believe- which I love. I was planning on buying some more of their stuff in the near future. Just can't decide on which. Based on the material I've heard, I don't think it'll be anything from the early 80's though. Probably the weakest Crimson era IMO.
    I definitely feel the long hiatus from 83'-94' really hurt the band's popularty and made it tougher to get younger fans. Who knows how big they would be today if they'd only released music on a more consistent basis.

    In total agreement with that statement.

    that band is amazing, check their dvds if have the chance, deja VROOM is great for start. to see the double trio in action is simply amazing, though my favorite dvd is eyes wide open - mind blowing stuff there. i prefer later crimson 94 onwards, they released only three albums, but the live shows are just amazing, get some of their bootlegs.
    make tea not love

    Great stuff indeed....I still prefer the Wetton-Fripp-Bruford-Cross line-up....another source of amazing live shows.

    one of my closest friends is a huge fan, i'd call myself a casual fan, un-real musianship tho, you can really hear where T00L got some of their influence, especially adam

    yeah red is prolly they're best album, i have their first box set which is from 69 to 74 i believe, great stuff, if you like progressive rock, some stuff can get a little too spacey, but red is pretty much balls out rock..
    8.29.00-4.29.03-4.30.03-5.2.03-7.2.03-7.3.03-7.8.03-7.9.03-7.11.03-9.28.04-9.29.04-10.1.04- 10.2.04-10.3.04-5.12.06-5.24.06-5.25.06
    ...i know all the rules but the rules do not know me, guaranteed...

    If the box set is "Frame by Frame" (four discs)...it covers 1969 to 1984.

    They were pretty damned amazing, that's for sure!

    "A consistently good band works all the different elements well. A song has to appeal sentimentally, intellectually, physically, viscerally, and dig deep down into your soul and suck you into it. And after that, of course, it'd be a matter of taste." ~ Kim Thayil from Soundgarden
