Doesn't make the lyrics themselves any less [[MindScrew mind-boggling,]] though.

* AwardSnub: King Crimson is one of the most requested bands to enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but even though they have been eligible for years have never been nominated. Some have attributed this to the fact that they don't have the mainstream popularity of other well-liked Prog bands like Music/PinkFloyd and Music/{{Genesis|Band}}. The fact that the Hall of Fame has become more accepting of Prog Rock recently as seen with them inducting Music/{{Rush|Band}}, Music/{{Yes}}, and Music/ElectricLightOrchestra fans do remain hopeful that they will be inducted one day.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: For the longest time, fans were irked over the fact that Robert Fripp's staunch stance on DigitalPiracyIsEvil meant that any any all [=YouTube=] uploads of the band's songs were guaranteed to be taken down. This ended up being thankfully amended when, starting in December 2020, King Crimson's [[https://youtube.com/c/kingcrimson official YouTube channel]] began posting every single song from every album, one at a time, allowing fans to finally have ease of access to their song library.
