Blimey...
Never heard of King Crimson ??
As stated above, plus:
- Massive band in early 70s. Arena fillers of their day.
- 40-odd years as a band, with a similar number of line-up changes, with one constant in genius guitarist Robert Fripp, although line-up has stabilised somewhat in recent years.
- Music has a tendency toward the avant-garde, but early stuff is quite beautiful. Early music bears no resemblance to their recent output.
- They're one band of virtuosos that I actually like.
- Fripp owns the back catalog, and has also released vast swathes of live albums from the band's vaults.
