You did not get this one, but I already used that joke once, so...

Greg Lake of ELP and King Crimson just passed: http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-38251936

This year has taken Emerson and Lake. 2016 continues to suck.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Yeah. I just read that right now too. That's very sad. His bandmate Keith Emerson died 9 months ago. Very sad.

RIP Lake

Came here to talk about Lake. R.I.P. King Crimson never found a voice as great as him after he left. Gonna play Epitaph in his honour.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

That's a lovely tune as well.

 

[JudasMyGuide]

What the fuck? Lake too? Oh no... They all keep going Will miss you, Mr Sweetvoice.

[JudasMyGuide]

And, of course

Even more epical than Bruce's take on Blake and that's a no mean feat.

 

[The Flash]

He sang on one of my favorite records ever, In the Court of the Crimson King.

Some years back I tried to get into King Crimson. After the debut album, nothing reached that level again (fitting to my taste), imo.

Try Red

Try Red

This. I'd say Red is the best King Crimson album.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

In The Wake of Poseidon is not that different from the debut but perhaps doesn't quite carry the same magic.

Red is a beast of an album but also very different from Crimson.

 

[Forostar]

Totally different album indeed. Adventurous and technical, but for me that doesn't match the atmosphere, melodies, sound and vocals from the debut. That said, I'm getting into Yes and this revoked some renewed interest in Mr. Buford's activities.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Have you heard In The Wake of Poseidon though? I mean that is probably the closets you'll get to the debut.

I still like Court a bit better, but Red kicks serious ass

Yes, at the time I thought it was less good. But I'll gladly try it out again.
