King Crimson easily. In any case, I love From Genesis to revelation too. Ummagumma is not bad too.

King Crimson's In the Court of the Crimson King definitely wins here. Not only is it of historical importance, but it's just a great album.

Overrated? How? I don't really see how any prog album could be overrated? I mean the genre is already on the fringes of popular music.

Mirror, he means overrated within the Prog genre and I happen to agree with him

That's cool, it's a good record but I happen to think(in my opinion) that it may be their worst from the 70s

From that period, I find In The Wake of Poseidon to be much more disappointing, but even this album has some redeeming qualities.

This one is between KC and Yes for me. I went with Yes because I am more likely to listen to the Yes album than the KC album.

King Crimson for me. Though I was tempted to vote for Ummagumma because of the Live album. However, the studio album is part of the album too, and it's got some songs I would rather not listen to.

I can't stop thiking how much I dislike the use of the word overrated. I guess most people who use it just mean they don't really like an album that is generally accepted as great... but in the end it sounds (at least to me) as if you were saying that you are right and everybody else who likes said album are wrong. Just as a poll I read a while ago about "The Yes Album", which most people love and I just don't get it, but that's just about as much as I would say, that I don't like it, or it hasn't clicked with me... or perhaps I could say that I don't understand why people like it so much. But call it overrated would be disrespectful for the people who like it.

King Crimson by a mile.
People who believe it's underrated just dont get that it was the shape-former of the whole prog genre. There would be literally no progressive rock without this album, despite of all the proto-prog records from 1967–69

actually you are mistaken as someone would have done an album like this eventually. Music was going this way. Fripp is not a some musical prophet but rather he was just able to process what was happening and decipher it in a coherent way. It was certainly a big bold statement that made a massive impact and helped other bands to establish themselves. Was it the most important album of that time? Yes certainly but it didn't create new music. IMO
