court of crimson king

Whaddya mean you’ve never really listened to King Crimson before? Ummm….dude, we’ve known each other for a while and all, and you’re my friend, so I’m just gonna tell you straight up….that ain’t right.

You gotsa check this jam out….yeah yeah, I know — it starts a little slow, but it’s pretty, in like an elvish acid trip kind of way, nawmean? And then when it shifts gears, around the four-and-a-half minute mark, into that simple jangly guitar thing, and you know it’s just gonna erupt….holy jeez….and then when it does, and it’s so fucking ILL…

O M G

The first time I heard that guitar solo, my heart almost exploded.

You’ve never heard Yes?

Get the fuck out of my car.
