I have heard all the later studio albums at least once but no longer have the last two(TCOL and tPtB). I recently ordered thrak which I never had before and played it once so far(I liked it quite a bit but not as much as discipline although maybe better than Beat and TOOPP). I will eventually get the last two as well as live stuff(I only ever had USA a long time ago). With so much prog out there it's easy to get sidetracked with lesser known bands(and newer bands which are often the same thing).

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

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).

I had a feeling this had been done already too, but I've just been back through the last 15 pages of Top 10's & Lists and all I could find was Top 5 & Top 10 King Crimson songs.
