mountain bed Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Wheel, since you're here, we should mention "Elephant Talk" from KC's Discipline LP. Not even close to the best song on the record imo but still a killer opener to a whole new generation of Crimson. This record got constant attention here the summer after my HS graduation.

Jesusetc84 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Wow that's not an obvious one. Do you even like music? How about side one track one of Beethoven's fifth symphony?
