There's only so many chord progressions available. They've all been done. Their version of When the Levee Breaks is fucking solid, man. They made some magic. All current music is built on top of the foundation laid by all previous music, and it basically always has been.
Fripp and Eno would like a word with you. Granted, that shit was unlistenable.
I was about to go on a mild tirade about King Crimson, while a bit busy, still being music that followed the norms well enough, when I realized I have never listened to the project you are referring to. In fact I looked up Brian Eno, because I recognize his name, but I can't tell you that I recognized any of what he's credited with on Wiki. I guess I have a rabbit hole to fall down today.
King Crimson is closer to The Backstreet Boys than it is to Fripp and Eno.
Well fuck, that's certainly a statement. Sounds like I'm in for a treat. I'm guessing I shouldn't play it on the big speakers while my wife is home.
You most likely have heard something produced by Brian Eno.
You have absolutely heard many things that would not exist without him.
That makes sense. Kinda like Bill Laswell, like yeah he made a good bit of stuff, but produced like a ton of shit. I'm excited to have something unexpected to dig on today.
His influence on modern music is impossible to avoid
You go! Stand by your man.
