    They're one of my favorite bands. For anyone who doesn't know who they are, Red is their best album, Court of the Crimson King is their most famous. If you like more experimental music, Larks' Tongue in Aspic is great.

    I'm also a big fan of Brian Eno. And of course, Fripp!

    Since I heard them mentioned on Venture Bros. (prog rock in general) I got into it a bit. I am totally into that style, but wouldn't know where to start as its too far out of my realm of knowledge

    Prog is probably the most diverse genre of music, but you can start with these albums:

    King Crimson - Red, Court of the Crimson King
    Yes - Close to the Edge, Relayer, Tales from Topographic Oceans
    Rush - 2112, A Farewell to Kings, Hemispheres, Permanent Waves
    Pink Floyd - Animals, Wish You Were Here
    Jethro Tull - Aqualung, Thick as a Brick
    Genesis - Selling England by the Pound, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
    Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts

    That should keep you busy for a while :icon_bigg
    If you need more, Prog Archives is a great website.
