I implore all of you to listen to King Crimson. They have had at least 6 wildly different phases of music, so if you hear something you don't like, don't give up.
Highlights:
1969-1971
-In the court of the crimson king
-Lizard
1973-74
Lark's tongues in aspic
Red (Kurt Cobain stated that this was the best album ever)
1981-84
Discipline
Beat
1994-
Thrak
The power to believe

That felt like a sales pitch.
