Top Ten Most Underrated King Crimson Songs
King Crimson have such a huge discography full of perfect songs and albums, but they get very little attention nowadays. Outside of the progressive realm, that is. This list is dedicated to the songs that are musically fantastic but really don't get the attention they deserve.
As a user on this site once said "the ugly duckling of the debut". I actually think this 12 minute track is very good. If you actually take a step back and examine the improv section, you'll realise that it is actually very well structured. Every member is involved while being careful not to tread on each other.
A crescendo building instrumental inspired by Eastern European music.
Often overshadowed due to the song "Starless" and the song that comes after this, the immensely complicated "Fracture" (also brilliant songs).
Bill Bruford selflessly took a step back in this melotron driven track.
First King Crimson song I heard in full. Absolutely mesmerising.
Great ballad that I think rivals it's ITCOTCK counterpart "I Talk to the Wind". Guest vocals by Gordon Haskell.
Favourite song on the album.
