King Crimson

King Crimson is a British rock band created by guitarist Robert Fripp and drummer Michael Giles in 1968. The band’s music is stylistically progressive rock. King Crimson is recognized as one of the best groups in this genre. A notable part of King Crimson’s history consists of various changes that occurred in the band’s lineup. Robert Fripp goes through this entire history as the only constant member, although he himself claims that he does not consider himself the leader of the group. He says that King Crimson "is a way of doing things," and the musical integrity he achieves throughout the band’s history, despite any rotation of members, reflects his point of view.
