Tough, tough poll. Both are favourites of mine, but I'll go for Red because it has no weak tracks on it.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

I was inspired by my previous poll, freshly done, about Polish bands - because their national flag is just red-white coloured (together with Canada, Japan, Monaco etc.).
 
Another meanings of "Red & White":
  1. A brand of cigarettes in Eastern Europe
  2. A former designation for indigenous and immigrant Americans
  3. A designation for White Guard and Red Army during Russian Civil War (1917-1923)
  4. A various colours of a piece of (usually) ferrous metal comes from blacksmithing: the "red heat" is from 426-981°C (798.8-1797.8°F), the "white heat" is over 1315°C (2399°F)

etc...

As for music: that's evident it's about two iconic albums of whole Rock history: while The Beatles "White Album" is undoubtedly far more famous to general public, on the other hand King Crimson's "Red" is one of the best Prog albums ever. So, what's actually your preference?
