Yes, Relayer.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

From that list The lamb and Warchild remaster due to the bonus tracks
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

I don't understand the attraction to Red. Most everything seems so slow and boring on it to me. Providence is a fantastic piece, though.
Understandable. I thought Red was boring first listen, but now it's my favorite of these.

You think Red is boring? Oh dear...


It is possible to find that King Crimson can leave one totally bemused i.e. me!

1-The Lamb (I vote to this)
1- RED (I dont know why I choose another!!!)
3-Warchild
4- Starless 

I dont have No.2 in this poll. Hardest poll in "The Big Six" series for me. And I like Todd's Utopia so much.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway for me. Such a musically diverse album and contains, in my opinion, some of Genesis' most haunting and beautiful but with an extra dose of strange music.
