Each to their own :o/ 
I'd rather listen to Thin Lizzy myself


>King Crimson really came out with some amazing stuff in the 80s. The 70s

>stuff is ok, here and there. Same with the 90s and beyond. But the 3

Belew->era albums from the 80s are really awesome. 

Hmm - I love the various 1970s incarnations best - especially the Starless &
Bible Black / Larks Tongues albums. The live 4 disc 'The Great Deceiver' is 
very intense.

The eighties stuff sounds like a smart arsed Talking Heads tribute....too
clever clever for my own tastes. Not that impressed by the later
incarnations either  


>Tool are completely up their own asses and have resided there for years.

>Opiate and Undertow are both great. It's all downhill from there.

>Lateralus, in particular, is such a shitty album. 10 000 Days has some

>decent moments. 


Isn't that geezer from Tool another Crowley acolyte ?
I've read interviews and he does seem to be up his arse a bit. I did buy
Lateralus on somebody's recommendation but it didn't do much for me - was
that the wrong one to get ?
