I find yes with the exception of Close to the Edge tedious. Try VDGG instead. Agree that Islands is greatly under-rated but Larks Tongues is lively.

The only one I haven't got is the Yes album, but then I don't like Yes.
I've no idea how expensive CD's are in Finland but they're cheap enough here (England) to buy all 4.
I voted for Trilogy, in my opinion, ELP's most consistent album.
Islands and Starless and Bible Black are very good but not quite as good as Red. Larks Tongues In Aspic is the best though!

Trilogy is rock solid but not very exciting.The Yes Album is bright and breezy prog.Very easy to like and recommend.I don't have those 2 KC albums as yet.

I'm glad you bought Trilogy too. I voted for it cause if you allready bought Red it is wise not to choose another album of the same band. Usualy when you do so you end up prefering one of them and neglecting the other and Red is realy a masterpiece. So, in that case I think Trilogy is a very good album (except The sheriff which is weak IMO) and is better than most ELP's albums and is a very good choice.
Enjoy !

If you are certainly buying Red, then do you a favour and pair it with Starless and Bible Black - this way you will get two somewhat related albums of KC, done with the same lineup and compare things. They are both great. The track called "Starless" contains lyrics "starless and bible black", but it is on Red album for some reason. Greta lineup with David Cross on violin on both!

All of them of course! Although Islands is a bit disappointing compared to the other three.
If I had to choose one it would be ummmm oooh that is a toughie. Probably the Yes album.

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.

"The Yes Album" is a necessity. "Trilogy" and SaBB should follow soon. "Islands" can wait.
