Old rock and King Crimson rambling

Alright kids, you all know i am obsessed with Lusamine and that i am definitely married to her. However, the amount of love I feel for Lusamine is just barely above the love I feel for really old rock music from like the 70s and 80s (and rom hacks of early pokemon games but we aint talking about that today). One I love is a hard rock song called Highway Star. There are two really impressive bits with the guitar with the last solo being one of the best solos I've heard from music around that time. Stairway to heaven by Led Zeppelin has one that comes close but not quite. I simply think that making guitar noises that sound like speeding cars is just very topical to the song and something that I'm very impressed by. Speaking of good guitar work, I love the solo in Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd too. It's just such a trippy sounding song and I feel that the end just ties it all off so well. Pink Floyd is a great band with fantastic works out of the 70s. Another reason I can't get enough of Comfortably Numb is that I just like prog rock and the sounds associated with it. This leads to a band I adore, King Crimson. I am pretty deep in their "Red" album right now and my favourite track so far is Fallen Angel. It's a dreary sounding song with some sad lyrics about someone's brother being taken in gang activity. I find that it is weirdly comforting to listen to though and it sort of calms me for some reason. I just like the sounds and the way the vocals come off. I generally like peaceful sounding music, this leads to my liking if another song they made called Matte Kudasai. It is a single from another album, but I love it equally. The amount of talent that Adrian Belew has floors me every single time I turn it on. I honestly highly recommend every person alive to listen to an album or single by KC at least once. I think it's a fantastic band and I'm amazed by how they still perform even after such a very long lifespan. I feel the need to spread the word of these people. Something is really missing in your life if you've never listened to this stuff

I know this is an old blog entry, but KING CRIMSON ROCKS! Red is definitely one of the greatest albums ever made. You have great music taste.
