What...? The Crimson King doesn't own Beat...? What...?

The 80's is my least fave Crimso era and Beat is my least fave album of my least fave Crimson era featuring Belew who is my least fave Crimso member on my least fave Crimso album of my least fave Crimso era. I am a proud non-owner of Beat LOL

My two favorites from the list are IT and AMLOR. I like beat next and then OYE. I don't know the other two at all.

A Momentary Lapse of Reason and Invisible Touch are about equally underrated. Voted for Floyd here, because its low points are still way above those of Genesis on these two albums.

Genesis, Pink Floyd and King Crimson are all excellent albums ! I chose KC but it could have been PF too.

I still don't understand the hate for Beat. It's a solid 4 stars for me!!

I really like A Momentary Lapse - not their best, but good.

The rest are pretty awful.

AMLOR shouldn't share a list with so much crap.

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

"On The Turning Away" is one of my favourite Floyd songs, even though that album is rather average, I prefer it to a lot of their stuff, so that gets my vote. Although to be honest, I haven't really heard the others that much.

Like the first three--especially Beat--but also Invisible Touch and Floyd ---not into bottom 3--as a Yes fanatic don't consider OYE a Yes album---

Well you have to consider it a Yes album, because it was!!! Fanatic or not Tongue

I am surprised Beat is so low in ratings, great 80's Crimson

AMLOR got my vote

Invisible Touch, though not one of my favorite albums, is a solid album.

i find A Momentary Lapse of Reason to be a much more satisfying album than u would expect, however, it is one of my least favorite PF albums, but not like TFC or the soundtracks. Also, i find very funny that people think that In the Hot Seat is worse than Love Beach (if u know what i mean)! On another note, just in general, what album has the lowest rating on this site (including all the bands old and new on here and excluding non-reviewed or few-reviewed ones)?

King Crimson beats out the others here.
