>>>King Crimson was my crossover band.
KC and Yes brought me into the fold. Before that I thought Black Sabbath, GFRR, and (god help me) Black Oak Arkansas were happenin', with-it bands. "Close to the Edge" took me to a new place, and "USA" tore my head off and put it back on askew. (The USA album was the first album I ever heard my mom characterize as "devil music." But to give her her due, she liked "Tales from Topographic Oceans.")
My 15-year old stepson likes Djam Karet, KC, and Pink Floyd, along with the usual Rammstein/Insane Clown Posse dreck. Unfortunately, he has recently developed an obsession for "99 Red Balloons" in all of its thousand incarnations. If I hear that song one more time, someone's going to jail.
