King Crimson is a band that began in 1969 in London, from the first generation of [[Progressive Rock]] groups. They've pretty much existed ever since, despite some pretty regular break-ups and reformations (1969-1974, 1981-1984, 1994-present). Also debatably proof that time travel is real.

== Tropes: ==
* [[Alliteration]]: Each verse of "Elephant Talk" is a list of words that mean "talk" that share the same first letter. This gets [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in the fourth verse with the line "These are words with a D this time."
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: In a live performance of "Thela Hun Ginjeet", Adrian Belew recounts how the gang he encountered wanted to "Kill me! Rip my limbs off! Smash my tape recorder!"
Line 142:
*** [[The Sixth Ranger]]: Trey Gunn
** Since 1997, they have not fit this trope.
 
* [[Foreign Language Title]]: "Matte Kudasai", "Nuages (That Which Passes, Passes Like Clouds)", "Shoganai"
* [[Gratuitous Panning]]: The studio version of "VROOOM" from the ''THRAK'' album is mixed with with half of the band members (Fripp, Gunn, and Bruford) on the left channel and the other half (Belew, Levin, Mastelotto) on the right channel.
