Yeah, KC are probably the most overated band in the archives but RED does have it's moments.

 but 'The Yes album' is pure class!

Red for me, because I like King Crimson at least 10X more than I like Yes, although I still love Yes...

The Yes Album is a good album of course, but to me Red is an album that is completely classic and everyone should own it--I can't personally say the same about the Yes Album

I'm a reasonable man, get off my case

No I think I would know considerin I can play the track with the guitar on my shoulders!!!

And I'll never be able to do that with Yours is no Disgrace!!!

Both excellent albums, though I find The Yes Album more even and complete than Red. But overall: Can't really decide.

Side two, 'Ive Seen All Good People', 'Perpetual change', I think these are equal to the tracks on the first side, nearly  All great tracks though
