TOP 100: 75: KING CRIMSON 12:48pm Fri 27 Jun 08 Marco Rossi continues the list of his 100 favourite singles of all time
I OWE a lot to this particular single. It was absolutely pivotal in convincing me, at the age of 13, that I wanted to be a guitarist when I grew up; so it could be argued that King Crimson are to blame for the fact that I've been pretty much penniless for most of my life, coming embarrassingly late to the notion of pursuing a conventional career structure and, in every sense, attempting to grow up.
