So, I have a rar comp, but dammit I can't upload it.

I tried mediafile, took forever to try and upload it only to tell me I couldn't get the link because I didn't have mediapro or something.

Help?

Either you've got 3 full pages of files, in which case just delete something to make room for it.

Or the filesize you're trying to upload is over 100MBs. You can just up it in two parts if that's the case.

Mediafire only lets you upload thigns that are 100 mb or less, so my guess is that your compilation is over 100 mbs in which case I would suggest Megaupload or Rapid****... err I mean fire.

The Beginners Guide To.............

King Crimson

For those of you living in the dark. King Crimson were one of the early pioneers of progressive rock, and while the same can't be said for any other prog band, they have stayed fresh and consistant for 5 decades. They mixed elements of classical music, free jazz, european folk, psychedelic rock, ambient and straight up proto metal hard rock, and since Adrian Belew joined the group in 1981 they have also dabbled in world music, new wave and heavy metal. They specialize in heavy, rhythmically complex songs, but also have a taste for bombastic ballads and more challenging avant garde experiments.

Guitarist/Keyboardist Robert Fripp has been the only consistant member of the group, other than him the group has gone through 5 singers, 7 bassists, 6 drummers, 2 guitarists, 2 saxophonists/flautists and 1 violinist. Many greatly talented musicians have come and gone. Because of these many lineup changes the band has managed to change up their sound for pretty much every album. But Fripp's presence gave the band something distinctive and recognisable, now matter what they did.

They are probably the most influencial prog band overall, Tool and The Mars Volta especially owe a lot to them, but their influence goes beyond just prog. They have influenced everyone from Iron Maiden to Nirvana. And fans of the modern post metal movement should especially find something to like about this band, they have been putting out heavy avant rock long before it was fashionable.

So yeah, I LOVE this band, and hopefully this comp will show you why.

No Epitaph? pretty good list though. I will have to download it just for kicks.

I wanted to limit it to only 2 songs per album. Though if I was gonna pick another song from ITCOTCK it would be I Talk to the Wind. Luv that song.

Yeah it would be hard to pick 2 off that album. Considering Moonchild is the only track I've ever skipped over occasionally.
