So here's one for those new to prog or progarchives (although of course anyone can and should participate). Don't worry, most of my polls after this probably won't focus on bands that everyone and their grandmother knows.  Also, these are the five highest rated KC albums on P.A. but it just happened to turn out that way.

If you prefer one of those then please vote "other."
 I didn't want a poll with everything they did just their top albums. |

Nah I voted all the classics, equally. I think everything '69-81 is 'top'

ItCotCK and Red are my two favourites, also fond of LTiA. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

| LTIA for me. My least favorite of the original iteration of Crimson albums is probably Islands and although it has grown on me over time I like the others better (even ITWOP). |

Itchiecock, LTIA, Red, Lizard, Starless & Bible Black. In that order. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

Oh, so you could show your top 5 (or top 10) all time! ------------- 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. |

Red Don't like Discipline and LTIA. Like the debut and Lizard. (after Red I would rather listen to later 90's and 00's Crimson)

I like all of them, but my vote went to In The Court Of The Crimson King.

It's off topic here; chances are this is worth a separate thread (chances are also it has been done before, but could be interesting anyway).

Larks' has been my favorite KC album for a long time but you are missing other great releases by the band, among which you may find other favorites of mine like 'Islands' and 'The Power to Believe'. (Together with 'Court' and 'Red', of course) |

| ^ As I already stated the point of this poll wasn't to represent all K.C. albums but instead just their most popular. If there is one you like better then please vote for the "other" option. ;) |

| I'm surprised at the results so far. Usually red seems to win in these kinds of polls. |

Red from these five, but I like The ConstruKction of Light and The Power to Believe more. When I become a ramp, I'm not going to put mustard on it. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

I would've been surprised if anything other than King Crimson's superb debut album had won this poll.
