I Talk To The Wind - perhaps it's not the most progressive song on this album but it`s beauty is captivating. I love the whole album though.

Of course not.  I'm not denying it's a great song.  It's just not as progressive as "21st Century Schizoid Man" or "Epitaph."

C'mon - it's MoonChild!
 
The others are all so obvious - easy listening in comparison.
 
MoonChild is hardcore.

I definitly go for Epitaph, for me the best moment from Greg Lake on Vocals, I really love it. So far, this is my fav KC album, and find it unlikely any other could take it's place for me. As a matter of fact it's grown on my apreciation. The first tracks I loved were Epitaph and the Title track, 21st Century was too noisy for me and the other 2 too boring. Then I came to apreciate 21st Century thanks to hearing it live on Collectible King Crimson Vol 1 (I still like better this other version, much more powerful, and the annoying -for me- sax replaced by the violin worked fine for me). Then I came to apreciate Moonchild (only the sung section, the long instrumental is still too much for me), which I find rather beautiful, and last I came to apreciate I Talke to the Wind, though it's still the weakest for me (appart from the long instrumental section from Moonchile).

Even so, it is a pretty decent song. I vote 21st Century... as well.

21st Century Schizoid Man for me. I love every song except for Moonchild, though.

Voted for the title track as it still sends shivers of delight up my rodent spine after all these years. The album as a whole is hardly a masterpiece, notwithstanding it's pivotal status to the genre and it's clear far reaching influence on all the artists who followed in its wake. The 5 votes for Moonchild strike this poster as consumers deeming the air in the balloon animal to be part of the design.

(Cue impassioned defence of the labyrinthine conceptual rigour of stoned hippy noodling Wink)
