King CRIMSON  are probably the most inconsistent prog band and when they are off it, they were terrible!

Love both bands... But Crimson wins IMHO - they were more adventurous  and they never released such crap as "Open Your Eyes" and "Union".

Yes easily in the early years
 
1968-Yes is a decent debut (YES)
1969-Time and a word is good and ITCOTCK is decent but is one of the most overrated prog albums ever (YES)
1970-The yes album and Poseidon(underrated) are both great (DRAW)
1971-Fragile is a bit better than Lizard because Haskell has a crap voice (YES)
1972-CTTE is miles better than Islands (YES)
1973-Tales is too long but it's still a better listen than Larks which is pretty good (YES)
1974-Relayer and Red are both good, but overrated. Starless is mediocre (DRAW)
1977-GFTO is good but overrated (YES)
1978-Tormato is very good and underrated (YES)

No contest for me as I can't get into Yes and have none of their CD's.Got most of King Crimson's though.

Bill Bruford was right to switch bands! Wink
