I like the title track. To me, it seems the band just doesn't want the song to end. I think it's really good. 21st Century and I Talk To The Wind tie for a close 2nd. Epitaph is great too, but the first 2 mintues of Moonchild are all I really care for.

My answer:

No, I didn't vote for Moonchild, I voted for I Talk To The Wind. I do like Moonchild though...

I just don't understand why people hate Moonchild. The ending may be too long, but for the rest: it's a very atmospheric song...

I think there's no single weak track on ITCOTCK. Fripp included all songs of that album on Frame By Frame, although Moonchild was adapted a bit... It says something, I think. 5 out of 5, a real killer album!

When i first heard this album, i've listened to "21st Century..." 10 times before I listened to the rest of the album! It's still my favorite on the album so "21st Century..." gets my vote.

Epitaph.

And the end of Moonchild is actually not bad. Listen to it again. I challenge you.

I dont hate moon child i think its a great song its yust as the title sugests a dream and an ilusion, and thats how the music sounds i think like an dream and an illusion. I have never understod why everybody hate it so much i think it fits for the album perfectly some time to breath for the lisner, betwen all the heavy songs. To me ITCOTCK is a perfect record with no flaws, one of the best albums ever.  

But perhaps its becaus it was one of the first prog albums i bought it has a special place in my heart

1. Epitaph
2. ITCOTCK
3. 21st century schizoid
4. I talk to the wind
5. moonchild

However, all 5 are SUPERB, not a single average track on here. I even like moonchild a lot, the last part of it definitely has its purpose and is not just "brainles" filler.

Epitaph is just too good. I did an oral presentation on Peter Sinfield and presented that song to my class.  One of the best performance by Greg Lake too!

When I first purchased the album, I was would have said that 21st century schiziod man was my favorite, but Epitaph has really grown on me o'er the past months.  The mellotron in that song is so powerful and Sinfield contributes some of his best lyrics of his career. It's spectacular!
And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.
