 Topic: Which album should i buy?
Posted: October 25 2006 at 14:32 |
Okay. So i am going tomorrow to buy two CD's. I know that in want Red by King Crimson, but really don't know what the other one should be. So i am asking your opinion. Which of those four you think i should buy? And if you have the time you could also tell my WHY that particular album should be my choice. Yes album is only one of the above i have listened to before, so if i am missing something great with the others just post it here! Thanks!

I vote for Yes. Although you can't go wrong with King Crimson. ELP would be my last choice.

Islands. Great, underrated album. It requires a few thorough listens though before it clicks.

The Yes Album would be my first choice. Reason is that it's simply the best one of the four.

Definitely The Yes Album, but Islands is a close second.

A vote for "Starless". The final composition "Fracture" is in my opinion the best thing Crimson have ever done (no joke) and ranks with my top tracks of all time. Of course, that isn't the entire album. "The Night Watch" is a great KC "song", as is "The Great Deceiver", with the title track remaining a classic studio-released improvisation.
The album tends to get left out until the back end of someone collecting the KC discography, as it's sandwiched between 2 of their very best. This is unfair; it's amazing on so many levels.

They are all good albums, and I can't say you could go wrong with any of them.
But YES gets my vote today.

ELP's Trilogy. It's a refreshing album, though it's not as good as Tarkus or Brain Salad Surgery.

I dont have Trilogy, but the other three are all mediocer albums IMO. Instead of S&BB you should get Larks' Tongues In Aspic from that era of KC if you dont already have it.

The Yes Album and Trilogy are some of the best Yes and ELP have to offer. Pick up the album by the band you like better. In my case, it's Yes. Starless and Bible Black is great too, but not on the same level as the Yes Album and Trilogy. You can get the (amazing) Night Watch and have the essential tracks off of Starless. Islands, on the other hand, is the most boring KC has to offer. The only song that's interesting in Ladies of the Road. I suppose some King Crimson fans will disagree with me on that though.

I have Larks' Tongues in Aspic already. Great album. Since i got more
money today i am gonna buy Yes album, cause it had the most votes and
guess i buy Trilogy too cause it seems to be on 25 % off the price
today. Thank you for posting and voting..
