I actually struggle with this, although I'm a moderately big Crimson fan, because I pretty rarely listen to the studio albums. It's all about the live recordings for me, basically. For which we are rather well served! Cool
 
Having said that, of the 69-74 albums, Larks and Red are tops. Starless, Islands, Court and Lizard after that.
 
The 80s and onwards albums seem to be in a different category and I find it hard to make comparisons with the earlier groups.

I believe that should be a good thing in this case.
