I literally venerated most of Eno's 
ambient recordings, but disliked almost everything rock/pop he made. I 
can only remember a few collabs like Passengers:Original 
Soundtracks and early Bowie. Sorry for the die-hard fan out 
there but Eno is such a terrible singer.. His best move ever was to 
step out of the spot light.

  Crimson was my start 
  point as well, and in much the same fashion.  Frippertronics to Fripp 
  & Eno and then one year my brother gave me Brian Eno’s Discreet Music on 
  vinyl for my birthday… and I could make some corny analogy of my birthday into 
  ambient music but… too late I guess.  And relating this to the guilty 
  pleasures topic anything Eno touches I have to listen to and really do find 
  myself liking as friends of mine roll their eyes ( I specifically got this 
  when I played James  around them).

  King Crimson was my starting 
  point, more specifically the "Frippertronics", the somber, off the beaten path 
  noise that my friends disliked so much.. I found it fascinating. My first CDs 
  were 'Evening Star', 'No Pussyfooting' and Fripp's later Soundscapes. That was 
  it, I was hooked.. Then I wondered; "Who is that weird, androgynous 
  looking guy called Eno? ;)
   
  That was the beginning of a 
  great journey into the ambient genre.

    Ah 
    yes, Crimson has always been interesting for skirting both the ambient and 
    heavy ends of the spectrum. On "The Great Deceiver" live recordings you can 
    hear "Heavenly Music Corp" from Fripp&Eno's "No Pussyfooting" being used 
    as intro music... flash forward to 2001, Crimson opens for Tool!-  [EMAIL REMOVED] To: [EMAIL REMOVED] Date:
