The fact that so many books still name King Crimson as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" prog rock band ever only tells you how far prog rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. King Crimson sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Prog Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that King Crimson did anything worthy of being saved.

this would make way more sense with a band like Yes or Genesis, maybe even Pink Floyd, but KC? Best selling?

Pink Floyd would be the best choice for the edit. OP just wanted to rustle some jimmies by shitting in some Sup Forums core that's actually good.
