Tough to go against these three. I'd throw in ITCOTCK instead of SABB.

1. Starless and Bible Black
2. Power to Believe
3. Red

Not in any particular order, and LTIA was close at hand.  As were most of the albums.

Heaps here love Lizard - i wish I could get in to that one - I know it is essential KC but its so drab for me. I love parts of it but its not as good as ITCOTCK, Red or Power to Believe.

 

Maybe I will have to listen to Lizard again...

ITCOTCK would have been 2 or 3 if Moonchild were only 4 minutes long.

Yeah, love it Heart

The Night Watch is fantastic, but when I think about favourite albums I think about studio albums and live comes separately.

1. Red
2. In the Court
3. Islands

Usually I would put The Power to Believe third, but lately I've been getting such strong vibes from Islands that I'm going to make an exception. Larks' Tongues in Aspic would probably be the third for its songs, but the performance lack so much power they later had live that I can't enjoy it fully. I've compiled my own Larks' Tongues Live in Aspic album which has the first part of the title track from the studio album (I don't have a full live version, I don't even know if there is one) and the rest are from USA or The Night Watch. The USA performance of Exiles and The Night Watch version of The Talking Drum especially put their studio counterparts to shame. Fripp certainly knew what he was doing when he chose to record (parts of) the next album live.

First - RED. "Starless" is peerless - a piece of pure majesty.
 
Second - THE NIGHT WATCH. This is the full gig at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw that formed the basis of the "Starless and Bible Black" album, but "The Fright Watch - The Talking Drum - Larks' Tongues in Aspic" sequence is utterly rivetting.
 
Third - USA. An electrifying gig. DGM (King Crimson's label) issued the entire gig on a mail order only release - it isn't as good.
 
Honorary mentions - the Poseidon album (slightly better than ITCOTCK), particularly the title track, and "Sailor's Tale" on the "Islands" album.
 
With the exception of THRAK, most of KC's output from 1982 onwards should br given a final cigarette, put up against a wall, and very slowly shot!
