This is easy for me:
 
1. Red
2. In the Court
3. Lizard
 
I don't listen to any other KC albums, except Larks' occasionally.

  1. The Night Watch
  2. Absent Lovers
  3. Vroom Vroom

I actually prefer the live versions of nearly all KC songs, and I think that the live sets released in recent years (not so much the Collector's Club, but the mainstream releases) make a lot of the studio albums - especially the 80s output - sound pretty thin.

for me myself and I... 

1. ItWoP
2. Lizard
3. LTiA

hard to explain perference...  though the 2nd is rather similar to the first...  think it actually stronger though of course not as famous or groundbreaking.  Cat Food being the clincher..  nothing like that on the first...

Lizard is an album that has REALLY grown on me...  was sucked in at first by the incredible mellotron of Cirkus, and what has to be one of the real emotional moments of a band not exactly known for it... that Collins sax solo...  but over time the rest of the rest of the album has really taken with me.  Of course.. it has taken lots of time since this group is not exactly one of my favorites nor listened to that much.

LTiA.. .nothing much to say about that...  best album they ever did by far.. even if not my favorite.

1. Red - the ultimate prog album ever (Rock bottom is a close second). powerful, consistent ! 6 stars.
2. Lizard - the first KC's mature album.
3. Lark tongue's in aspic - the first Wetton era album. The creation of caos in music.
 
Honorable mentions : Islands, The power to believe, Discipline, Starless and bible black, Thrack, The construction of light. The two immature albums are also very very good.

I love so many, but none are stand out perfect, or truly, positively 5 stars (in terms of anything other than historical importance)

Noting that,

1. Red
2. In the Court of the Crimson King
3. The Power to Believe
