King Crimson is freaking amazing! Their album, Discipline, is one of my most favorite albums of all time, actually. And they're probably one of my favorite bands that isn't a metal band. But what is King Crimson? Most people would put them under the genre of Prog, or Progressive Rock, even though members of the band refuse to associate themselves with that genre. But, this is one of those cases where you just gotta say "screw you" to the band, and just accept that they're prog, and they're weird.
The reason they're prog is because they contain every aspect a prog band has...that being they're progressive. They play a lot of parts per song, and all of their songs are relatively pretty damn long. In my opinion, if you have long songs, but you can also make them interesting, then I will like you. You gotta have both many different parts and if you repeat any segments, they better be catchy or something. King Crimson excels in doing this.
