By popular demand, it's the long-awaited Top 7 King Crimson songs poll as a replacement for the now defunct Top 5 KC songs poll. Smile

Simply list your Top 7 King Crimson songs in order of preference below and then I'll assign the usual system of points to your listings:-

1st song - 12 points
2nd song - 8 points
3rd song - 6 points
4th song - 4 points
5th song - 3 points
6th song - 2 points
7th song - 1 point

My Top 7 King Crimson songs to kick things off with:-

1. Epitaph (12 points)
2. The Court of the Crimson King (8 points)
3. In the Wake of Poseidon (6 points)
4. I Talk to the Wind (4 points)
5. Starless (3 points)

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

1. "Lizard"
2. "Starless"
3. "Islands"
4. "In the Wake of Poseidon"
5. "Epitaph"
6. "Larks' Tongues in Aspic, Part One"
