Waves that come from another galaxy...

More than right!

Oh yes, it must be out of pity and not out of respect that Fripp collaborated with them on Fear of Music or was (partially) inspired by them for a masterpiece like Discipline. I fear that reading this stuff, Fripp and Byrne would laugh for hours.

Oh right, Belew played with the TH and with Bowie, it’s from the collaborations between them and Fripp that the latter chose Belew as a collaborator for the new Crimson. Strange, huh? But come on... (aside from this, 99% of rock artists and the like are nothing compared to King Crimson, but let’s take it easy with the claims).

This statement is ridiculous, Lark's. The Talking Heads are history.

oooooooooolé! And we needed these definitions... just to liven up the atmosphere.

Now could you kindly tell me which group comes first?
It's natural that Belew, having merged, kept his roots with him, but the fact is that even in the press at the time (just read the booklet of the album), the criticism was precisely that they had copied too much from the Talking Heads (who are truly nothing compared to K.C., obviously.)
I said nothing more.
It's no coincidence that the singing in Discipline has nothing to do with that in Three of a Perfect Pair...

Let me be clear: just take a quick 10 seconds to browse my profile and you'll notice that my favorite group is the Kc. But Pippe, Talking Heads are a great band; either you prove it to me objectively or you just say "I don’t like them."
End.

That said, nothing personal, welcome among us. Just let's take it slow, since we're talking about one of the most influential groups of the '80s (They influenced the Crimsons, sorry if that's not enough).

Alright, alright, my bad man!
I also really like Songs about buildings and food and Remain in Light, I just don’t see them as very deep sonically compared to the masters KC (not & the sunshine band :D), and I really find it hard to believe that Fripp learned much from Byrne rather than the other way around. Anyway, not a problem!

While not loving the T.H., I fully agree with Pana and HJ...

Alright, which group comes first? And what the hell does it matter if Fripp disintegrated the Crimson every three years and completely changed their skin? The Crimson have never been a band; they are a constantly evolving musical project. And Fripp, being a good collaborator of the TH, was (partially) inspired by them for Discipline. It’s not like Fripp learns from Byrne or vice versa; they were collaborators, period. And the TH (says someone who has the Crimson on the podium of favorites, unmovable, not the Heads) are not crap even compared to the Crimson, they are simply less profound, it's just that they are different things. You could have just said you liked them less, and that would have been better (and I wouldn’t have found anything strange in that; I've said that the Crimson outshine 99% of rock groups and their surroundings throughout history). Your definition as written is a massive load of crap.

Then if you listen to the criticism claiming they copied the TH... come on, it's clear that they've (you've) missed some points in the thousand collaborations between Fripp/Eno/Byrne/TH/KC throughout the '70s and early '80s.

Collaborations from which Fripp drew inspiration for the new Crimson direction (especially the first one, the latter less so). And I don't think he considered them trivial, given that he collaborated with them. It's obvious that Byrne leveraged the genius and mind of Fripp, who certainly wasn't collaborating just for fun.

have a good laugh

you are too resentful

Was it the egg or the chicken that came first? ahahahah... anyhow, nice little disk. But my favorites from Fripp and co. remain others (Larks, Red...) In Crimson version 2, however, it's clear that besides Talking Heads, Fripp also had an ear towards certain THIS HEAT.
