Schizoid Man is just dirty. One of my favourite songs ever.

18 right here, can't for the life of me figure out how anyone would prefer Wake. Court seems plainly superior in every way to me.


You must be female or close to it


i hope that's not meant to be a serious insult... gonna call me a beta male next?

some of your logic is questionable to me... "schizoid is a bit of a Beatles copy during the verses"? really? feels like you're just grasping for any possible reason to say it's worse than In The Wake

Epitaph, although 21st Century Schizoid Man is breathtaking as well. I love Mike Giles' drumming on Epitaph.

In The Wake of Poseidon always felt to me like a repetition of the formula of the debut, but with none of the magic. I don't know exactly why, but it just doesn't work. So while the debut is one of my favorite albums of all time, In the Wake is not even in my top five King Crimson albums.

I like "Pictures of a City" and "In the Wake of Poseidon" and even "Cat Food" better than "Moonchild".
But that's just me.

Has this poll turned to be a competition between ITCOTCK and ITWOP?

Anyway it's a close call between 21st and I Talk To The Wind but I'm going with the mellow masterpiece.

I voted for "Moonchild". "In the Wake of Poseidon" is a bit like "In the Court of the Crimson King", and some tracks can even be directly compared to tracks from the predecessor. ("Pictures of a City" is like "21st Century Schizoid Man", "In the Wake of Poseidon" is like "Epitaph" and "Cadence and Cascade" is like "I Talk to the Wind". But "Cat Food" (the best track on "Wake") and "The Devil's Triangle" don't really have an equivalent on "Court", and the little "Peace" tracks add a nice flavour.

Me too!!
I used to try and figure out the guitar parts and then play it with the song, just because it was so odd.

5. Moonchild, but I like it, it has grown on me a lot since the first listen
4. The Court of the Crimson King
3. I Talk to the Wind
2. Epitaph
1. 21st Century Schizoid Man

In the Court is an excellent, 5 star album, but overall KC had about 5 better albums.

Never heard of it, I think. I ain't picking. Kind of tired of voting for my favorites.

yeaaaaaah, no.
ITCOTCK and ITWOP are like two girls who are completely identical, physically and mentally, except one (Court) has bigger tits. Most would take the one with bigger tits but some would prefer the other.

I know, weird ass analogy.
*Facepalms*
LOL

I'll add my support for Moonchild as well. In my opinion, it is utterly necessary to have those 12 minutes of quietness before the intensity of the title track. It works perfectly on the album.

I just noticed that a lot of Crimso albums are about things inside of things. IN the Court, IN the Wake, Tongues IN Aspic...um...DisciplINe.

Epitaph is the soundtrack of my life!
