| It is fascinating to me how spread the songs are. Most people have at least one song from each era... I would have thought there were more hardened fans of the different models of the band. |

To me, it would be far too hard to pick top 10 King Crimson songs, so I'll just show you my number one pick: Starless. The beginning and the last minute are pure gold, and the whole song is just awesome.

I love the middle period; and after having seen Fripp and Co. again last year at the Nokia Theater in New York, I will say thoroughly enjoy the journey of the newer materail as well.
But alas, my list here must hearken back to the golden era.
I find the older material to be soothing and comforting for me.

Argh! I can't think of King Crimson in terms other than in albums. Try as I might I can't name the top 10 songs, so I must cheat and give you the list of top 5 albums instead. If there is already a thread for this, I'm sorry.

Cadence and Cascade
In the Wake of Poseidon
Cirkus
Lady of the Dancing Water
Prince Rupert Awakes

It's bloody difficult to choose only 10 songs, but here's my attempt anyway, it changes all the time so I might edit this later. No live albums/songs included. 01. Starless (Okay, this one isn't likely to change - pretty much the greatest song of all time) 02. Epitaph 03. 21st Century Schizoid Man 04. The Court of the Crimson King 05. Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part II 06. Exiles 07. Fracture 08. Fallen Angel 09. Islands 10. Easy Money

Well, this is a hard one... 1. Lizard 2. Epitaph 3. Exiles 4. Starless 5. Islands 6. In the Court of the Crimson King 7. I Talk to the Wind 8. Lark's Tongues in Aspic (part 1) 9. The Letters 10. Formentera Lady Eh... they ended up in the slightly wrong order anyway. It changes all the time, but this list is more or less accurate, it just might appear confusing that my favorite album is "Islands" and not "In the Court..." which this list would suggest. ------------- Leave the past to burn, At least that's been his own - Peter Hammill |

Lately, it's something like this (in no particular order), so five years ago this list probably would have been way different: "Trio" "Night Watch" "Fracture" "The Sheltering Sky" "The Great Deceiver" "Lament" "Groon" "Sailor's Tale" "LTIA, pt. 1" "LTIA, pt. 2"

I'm not going to disagree with you, but I don't think I could make a strong top 10 for eras 1, 4, and 5, so I split it all into the two more obvious ones. ------------- Want to play mafia? Visit http://www.mafiathesyndicate.com" rel="nofollow - here . |
