There are few albums that simultaneously bridge insane weirdness and commercial appeal. Albums like OK Computer, John Coltrane's later work and The Talking Heads' Remain in Light all come to mind. These album have attained a high level of commercial success, but have not compromised the original vision. These albums are very very rare. King Crimson's first album In the Court of King Crimson is one of them. I have been listening to this album for many years now and I am convinced that it is the crowning achievement in progressive rock (a term I have always hated)If you haven't heard this album before, now's your chance. It truly is a timeless album that will constantly challenge your ears and your brain with every listen. Check it out!
