It's revered because it was one of the most influential records of its time.

> (in late 1960s) The Nice, the Moody Blues, Procol Harum and Pink Floyd all contained elements of what is now called progressive rock, but none represented as complete an example of the genre as several bands that formed soon after. Almost all of the genre's major bands, including Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Yes, Genesis, Van der Graaf Generator, ELP, Gentle Giant and Curved Air, released their debut albums during the years 1968–1970. Most of these were folk-rock albums that gave little indication of what the band's mature sound would become, but King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King (1969) was a fully formed example of the genre.

They put it all together: classical influences, experimentation, virtuosity, lyrical depth, wide array of styles/moods, atonality and so on. They set the blueprint for rock for years to come, along with Led Zeppelin, Stooges, Pink Floyd an Jimi Hendrix.

It's obscure. People who liked the idea of being "the music person" downloaded this off of SS and listened to it twice before buying the remastered, fifty dollar vinyl at Barnes and Noble solely for the purposes of displaying it under their shitty Crosley record player.
