   I would start with Godbluff and Still Life, both VDGG masterpieces, and after with KC's Lizard (one of the best IMHO).

	I'm new to VDGG, but KC I've been a fan of for years (decades?). Crimson went through many phases. For the new listener, I would suggest getting the best from each phases. You already have Phase 1 covered. Phase 2 - Islands (It stands alone, dismiss Earthbound, not essential and poorly recorded.... completist only) Phase 3 - Lark's Tongues / Starless / Red / USA (live) "Lark's Tongues" is the first of this phase and (I) consider it to be the best, however all three are incredible. Phase 4 - Discipline / Beat / Three of a Perfect Pair "Discipline" is the one from that series which says it all. "B" and "ToaPP" are more of the same. Phase 5 - Thraak (double trio album) Phase 6 - Happy WWYHTBHW (EP) and Power 2 Believe (heard both, don't own either) If you liked Thraak, you may like these also. Summation: ITCOTCK - You Own Islands (Save for later, money's scarce) Lark's Tongue (Get it) Discipline (Buy After LTIA) Thraak and after - (Only if you like Discipline. Belew's voice may or may not be to your taste.)

	The first option first, the second, second!

	I need your advice. I have one album by King Crimson (Court) and one by Van Der Graaf Generator (H To He). I enjoy both, they're great! But now I don't know, for both bands, which album to buy next.. Pawn Hearts and Lark Tongues? or Godbluff and Red? or..?
