King Crimson’s Ian McDonald Proved Avant Rock and Stadium Rock Can Coexist Peacefully

The Venn diagram for iconic rock bands Foreigner and King Crimson do not have a lot of overlap. It’s safe to say that most devoted fans of one do not own any records by the other, and the descriptor “rock band primarily active in the 1970s” is about as far as you’ll get when it comes to their similarities – except for one extraordinarily key element of both groups: multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald.
