Why does no prog album sound like In Court of The Crimson King? It was like the first one I ever heard and it just absolutely blew me away at a young age. It sounded simultaneously ancient and futuristic while nailing the perfect haunting mood. Rest of the genre is so different.

Someone said people say every song on In the Court spawned a different subgenre of prog but to me it sounds more like the album had about TWO sounds, "Schizoid Man" and everything else
Schizoid Man is definitely the biggest outlier. I gotta say I only ever get the urge to listen to that or the title track.
