ICYMI: King Crimson’s Ian McDonald Proved Avant Rock and Stadium Rock Can Coexist Peacefully
The Venn diagram for iconic rock bands Foreigner and King Crimson do not have a lot of overlap. It’s safe to say that most devoted fans of one do not own any records by the other, and the descriptor"rock band primarily active in the 1970s" is about as far as you’ll get when it comes to their similarities — except for one extraordinarily key element of both groups: multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald.
King Crimson was formed in 1968 when mad genius guitarist Robert Fripp and machine gun-like drummer Michael Giles left behind their former group in pursuit of less whimsical sounds, recruiting McDonald and bassist/vocalist Greg Lake to aid them on their journey along with lyricist/roadie/lighting engineer Peter Sinfield.
, McDonald and Giles became weary of Fripp’s ever-deepening pursuit of darker and more challenging sounds. When Fripp offered to resign from King Crimson as a result, McDonald and Giles declared that King Crimson was"more than them" and they resigned instead.which contained King Crimson’s aesthetic sound, but none of the band’s glorious madness.
The band’s multinational lineup balanced Gramm’s American fist-pumping belting with a dose of English restraint. McDonald’s ability to provide tasteful dashes of saxophone, synthesizer, supplementary guitar, and production assistance prevented Foreigner from slouching into monochromatic schlock, and instead elevated them into colorful, multiplatinum schlock.
