Again another poll to see your favourite to least favourite albums of King Crimson this time. Even if you haven't heard all of them, just say the ones you have. Looking forward to what you guys think, here are mine (pretty typical to be honest
 ):1. In The Court Of The Crimson King (10/10) 2. Lizard (9/10) 3. Red (9/10) 4. In The Wake Of Poseidon (9/10) 5. Larks' Tongues In Aspic (8/10) 6. Islands (8/10) 7. Discipline (8/10) 8. Starless And Bible Black (7/10) 9. The Power To Believe (7/10) 10. Beat (7/10) 11. Three Of A Perfect Pair (7/10) 12. THRAK (6/10) 13. The ConstruKction Of Light (5/10) Not very familiar with the projeKcts so I've excluded them from my list. Thanks for any feedback

Thank God someone else puts Court at the (near) bottom. The issue now is, how low is your bottom? Rating wise.

Five stars:
Red ITCOTCK Four stars: ITWOP Lizard Islands LTIA Thrak The power to believe Three stars: Starless & Bible black Construktion of light Beat Three of a perfect pair Discipline A consistently very good band. I think their output in the 90's and beyond was better than anything any other classic era prog band released at that time. |

These are my personal rankings based on my liking, not an objective best or worst....
ITCOTCK
Red
Poseidon
Larks Tongues
Starless and Bible Black
Lizard
Islands
Discipline
etc....
The rest for me are about the same level of quality .

Oops, missed this from a while ago! Poseidon gets rounded up to a 3 from slightly below, Power and Court get a 4, Lizard and SABB are each a 4.5 rounded up, LTIA a solid 5, and Red is the best ever album ever ever ...ever. Edited by Neo-Romantic - April 24 2014 at 22:19 |
