Top 7 King Crimson Albums

If you have THE POWER TO BELIEVE, imagine sailing through treacherous seas IN THE WAKE OF POSEIDON to a land far far away on one of the world's remote ISLANDS, where the RED-haired man reigns IN THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING. Out on deck on THE NIGHT WATCH under a STARLESS AND BIBLE BLACK sky, you marvel at THE CONSTRUCTION OF LIGHT in a thunder storm as you hear the THRAK of a lightning bolt in the distance. You play cards to pass the time on the long voyage, but lose again when you realise you can't BEAT a hand containing THREE OF A PERFECT PAIR. You don't have the DISCIPLINE to concentrate at cards against an opponent with eyes darting around like a LIZARD who sees everything, so you decide to BEAT a retreat down to the galley where the ship's cook serves up an exotic dish of LARKS TONGUES IN ASPIC, washed down with a glass of RED wine. You retire to your cabin and quickly drift off to sleep as the ship continues on its EARTHBOUND voyage.....I don't think this has been done before, so here's your chance to name your Top 7 King Crimson albums in order of preference and then I'll assign the usual system of points to your listings:-

I can't do this as there are 13 albums and all of them are tied for 1st place and there are only 7 positions on this poll, though I would admit that both Red and Thrak have a slight edge as they are 6 star albums (perfect in other words) in my opinion while the rest have 5 stars in my own personal rating system).
