That's a tough question. Each album has so much variety. There would certainly be no shame in just exploring their more "accessible" songs, if you can call any KC song that. Here's a few:

Frame by Frame
Dinosaur.

Three of a Perfect Pair.

Elephant Talk.

A newer one they were talking about above is pretty cool:
Happy With What You Have

Listen to that one while reading the lyrics. It's kind of funny. But don't think that any single song can fully capture this band.

Maybe others can have better suggestions, perhaps some of the older Fripp stuff. The Great Deceiver is one of my favs from that time. Anyway, that selection will get you some 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s (obviously, not in that order ... I should have played "try to guess the decade" with you :lol: ).

I'm not a huge fan of the band, but In the Court of the Crimson King and Lizard are two of my favorites. They're both old school Crimson, though...
