yeah cause the mothers are about 20x better
i was kind of thinking that as well


king crimson were awesomeeeeeeeee

i love in the court...even though it's completely different than the rest of their discography.

wake of poseidon is awful though, couldn't believe it was a crimson album.

i loved it especially as a Residents fan

but king crimson is still gonna get disqualified ;)

i'd disqualify sonic youth because of rather ripped.

ED: residents? i heard more genesis, if anything.

dude!

go listen to YES, prog rock sucks!

on the devil's triangle

yes rules.

much much much better than sebadoh

you've been inhaling too much Distrito federal smog my friend.

sebadoh: i'm too stoned to tune my guitar but the fact that it's recorded in a four track more than makes up for the lack of good songs...subject matter: i'm stoned and i hate j mascis.

Hahaha rep.

EDIT: You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Everyneurotic again. Woops.

that's just one record!

bubble & scrape, Smash Yr Head On The Punk Rock and Harmacy are al better than ANY yes bullshit!

bubble & scrape, Smash Yr Head On The Punk Rock, Bakesale, and III

Im almost in the middle of my marathon to hear the whole king crimson discography and this is amazingly solid to say the very least

best catalogs? hmmm...

well ill think of a few:

merzbow (gotta be mentioned, the dude is mindblowingly prolific, has been for 25 years, and id say alm ost all his stuff is worth listening too.
sun city girls (great variety of sounds, lots of amazing records)
sonic youth (duh, between their full lengths, syr's, eps, collabs, so much brilliant music, anyone who listens to anything could find something to dig)
sun ra (everything genius)
iannis xenakis (same as above)
weasel walter (between all the bands hes been, the luttenbachers, his free jazz quartets and sextets, xbxrx, lake of dracula, to live and shave in la (2), hatewave, contradictions, and so much more, not to mention all the bands hes recorded with, and all his improvised solo stuff, i cant even comprehend how much good records this guy has recorded on).

as for the king crimson thing, i agree theyre amazing, but they definitley have records i havnt liked that much. in the wake of poseidon and discipline spring to mind.

Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Sonic Youth. I know that Dylan and Young had some rough periods, but they were always able to "reinvent" their respective sounds. SY falls into that same category of being able to expand on their sound like Dylan and Young have.

I didnt realize they had so many albums or that their members remained so constant with anderson, squire, and howe.

I like almost every Crimson album... My favorites are power to believe, red, and lizard..

I also forgot about the sonic youth movie soundtracks so Im gonna count the number of albums at 28

maybe if someone hasnt already done it Ill go through and add up exactly how many hours of original material theyve recorded.

I'd say Discipline is their second best.

Has anyone ever looked at Jim O'Rourkes catalogue of stuff? Its pretty substancial to say the least.
