Tough one!
It's gotta be Epitaph for me! This should be interesting...

I was tempted to go for Moonchild, just for my good friend Epignosis, who I know just LOVES that one!!!!
I'm going for the title track, the best on the album IMHO.

All of the above; really impossible to choose. An album full of small masterpieces.

You know me so well, Roger! 
I'm going for the fifth song also. One of my favorite King Crimson songs.

In the Court of the Crimson King. Their masterpiece song? Quite possibly.

21st Century Schizoid Man, their 2nd best song (behind Starless).
Way ahead of its time, dynamic, and timeless. The title track sounds quite dated and repetitive in comparison.

^ I always try to pay attention Robert! 
I have to say that KC have never fully done it for me and I've actually not got any of theirs on cd at the moment. Infamy, I hear the cry. This is a great album though, and I am presently awaiting the delivery of it on cd to replace my old (and worn!) vinyl copy. I loved the first two KC albums, but just could not get to grips with the later stuff. I remember hearing Discipline when a student some years ago and it just left me totally cold.
From the reviews I am sure I will love Islands and am hoping Santa will have it in his sack in about 3 weeks time.
Incidentally, sorry for going off on one - on a bit of a Tangent  .

Yes, I think I'm going to vote for it actually, as it's just as perfect as the rest.

Probably Epitaph, but I love the whole album.

this was done not long ago. It still has to be the definitive title cut for me, but strong arguments exist for 3 other songs, and an entertainable argument for Moonchild. GREAT album and one of the few generally regarded masterpieces of the big prog groups that I actually agree with.

Title track for me, followed by 21st century.
In my Top 10 all time albums.

"The wall on which the prophets wrote,
Is cracking at the seams."
My god Epitaph is just unbelievable! Strange that so many would consider it the weakest on the album...

Epitaph is the only track I can now listen to. The rest are just SO dated.
