Two great albums.
The one I listen to more often gets my vote, so Red it is.

King Crimson - Red
But Thick As A Brick is also an outstanding album...

My favorite albums by these two bands. My vote goes for King Crimson's Red. Darker, heavier, meaner.

Being primitive is you posting such a stupid comment.

I lauged when I read that comment.
You know the same thing can be said about Red, how would you react? You are insulting anyone enjoys Thick As A Brick, next time you want to insult something, try to use subtlety.

Firstly, I'm not the kind of jumpy person waiting to be insulted at every opportunity. If you said the same thing about Red, I'd just ignore you; you're wrong. Why would I need to be insulted? Also, try reading what I say. Offended people always simplify one's arguments into absurd extremes or dichotomy that fit their simple mind-set. I've had to explain this to many tedious people like you all my life ("you can't generalise!", "you can't say that" and other rubbish).
Secondly, I said the best. I think TAAB is an excellent album but calling it the greatest is absurd.
It's like selecting a comedy novel as the greatest ever written. No matter how hilarious it is, it will still be a lesser work compared to 1984, Utopia, Brave New World etc because the breadth, importance and grandeur of ideas is less. There are lots of novels I disagree with, which I prefer to many I agree with, simply because the ideas challenge and stimulate more.
I'm sorry I cannot elaborate on the analogy more but think of it like this. Red is almost a music manifesto, TAAB simply a jolly narrative. I think people have been voting for the album that matches their tastes the most ("dark" people for Red; "light" people for TAAB) without considering how progressive i.e. avant-garde the album is.
If more people thought like this Lord of the Rings wouldn't top the Big Read poll for greatest book nor CTTE, SEBTB or whatever for progarchives. Instead, Brave New World or 1984 and Red or Pawn Hearts would.

There is no definitive way of determining "best" or "greatest",
especially not in art. Everyone has their own opinion, and there's no
point in insulting people who don't share yours. There will always be
people who disagree with one's own opinions, and in reality there's
little we can do about it. Just let people like whatever they want to
like.
