King Crimson is a progressive rock group from England formed in 1969 by guitarist Robert Fripp and drummer Michael Giles. Originally an all-British musical group, later members have included a number of Americans, most notably Adrian Belew and Tony Levin. The name King Crimson was coined by Peter Sinfield as a synonym for Beelzebub, prince of demons. According to Fripp, Beelzebub is an anglicised form of the Arabic phrase "B'il Sabab", meaning "the man with an aim". However, the original name is understood to be from ba'al zebul, "Lord of the Seat". King Crimson's debut album In The Court Of The Crimson King is considered by some to be one of the most influential albums of progressive rock. The first major success of the new genre of progressive rock, many bands that would come to dominate prog in the 1970's first sought to emulate In the Court of the Crimson King, including Genesis, The Alan Parsons Project, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and later Rush. King Crimson continues to have an influence on progressive rock today, bands such as
