Larks' Tongues in Aspic (Parts 1 and 2), Red, Three of a Perfect Pair, Lizard, and parts of The Power to Believe are up there, but none come close to The Court of the Crimson King, so far my favorite KC song, which is from my favorite KC album at the moment, im still trying to get into their own music, but are underrated compared to other popular bands out there (obviously)

Red LTIA (either one, depending on the day) Lizard The Power to Believe (as a suite, if that counts. if not, part 2) Starless and Bible Black ITCOTCK The ConstruKction of Light Scarcity of Miracles Thrak Three of a Perfect Pair Discipline Poseidon Haven't heard Islands yet, so I have no idea where that would fit in. I must be in the minority here, since I actually like the track Red that much and Poseidon that little. It's just boring to me, and I'm not sold on Lake's vocals. I have complaints about that whole album, basically.

Starless is a title track although it's the title from another album.
Starless it is.

Right on............though In The Wake Of Poseidon is a close second for me.

That's my 2nd favourite too

I'm not familiar with their most recent album, nor Poseidon, so I didn't list those. Larks' Tongues is one of my favorite KC songs of all (and one of the first that I heard). Islands is just a beautiful song, and one that I didn't quite get until after I listened to KC for a while. Lizard too took a while to really enjoy for me.
Larks' Tongues in Aspic
Islands
Lizard
In the Court of the Crimson King
Three of a Perfect Pair
Discipline
Red
THRAK
Starless and Bible Black
Heartbeat
The ConstruKction of Light

Red that high up? That's surprising. I've always thought it was the weakest track on the album, and probably one of the weaker ones in their classic era. |
Yes for me, I like it.
