I love both, but Lark's have the best formaton of the band, IMO, and was a pinnacle to my Crimson listenings...

I chose Lark's Tongues... The Wetton era is my favorite.
One likes to believe
In the freedom of music
But glittering prizes
And endless Compromises
Shatter the illusion
Of integrity

Larks' Tongues in Aspic. This album defines nowadays King Crimson.

These are the only two Crimson albums I own.

I like Lizard more, Cirkus is a good track.

Agreed.

same they are both better than most prog out there, If I HAD to pick it'd be Lizard, that bolero is gorgeous

ISN'T IT!! I love that bolero, Is it the flute that plays that wonderful melody or is it some sort of horn? I might be a little vague here, But it gets slightly quieter and this wonderful melody enters, Comes in a few times

Lizard was great, very symphonic and even teatrical with Haskells deep voice and also great wind instruments! But Lark´s is not even one step forward in music...its a whole kilometer! This album is so adventurous and at the same time quite easy to enjoy...excellent, the best after ITCOTCK!!!

They Both are  so different I dont think I can Pick One

Maybe if the poll was asking something more specific about the two LP's Like wich was a better addition Wetton ore Haskell.  Then I  think we could (maybe) decide.

(I still couldnt)

Lark's Tongue, but if Jamie Muir, would not have been in that album, Lizard would be my choice.
