I've gotta go with classic Crimson here. That's what I originally heard, and most likely therefore most biased to. 
No order:
In The Court Of The Crimson King
Starless And Bible Black
Red
Lark's Tongues In Aspic
Lizard

From what I know (and have) now it's:
1. Larks' Tongues In Aspic
2. Starless And Bible Black
3. Red
4. In The Court Of The Crimson King
All of those are excellent btw but I still have to 'grow' a little more in the earliest department and I know nothing yet from the later albums.

It is obvious to me that the two best studio albums are "In the court of the crimson king" and "Red", those two hold the best music and a lot more archetypal analysis then any of the others.

Voted for 'Red', though it has got some short-comings as in bad editing (i.e. abrupt fade-out on 'One more red nightmare), nevertheless it contains one of the greatest compositions ever (Prog or not): STARLESS!!!

1- Red (I always wished David Cross had stayed in the band, however)
2- Starless (The first KC album I ever owned)
3- Larks Tongue (Can you tell my favorite KC line up?)
4- Discipline (This album changed my whole view of music and I made my band at the time change our pure prog-rock sound to a "prog-wave" sound. Adrian Belew also plays in a band with friends of mine - The Bears.)
5- In the Court (It started it all!)

Well I like Islands (first album of KC I bought) and I prefer "Red" (which is perfect) to "In the Court of the Crimson King" (with "Moonchild", a "little bit" too long). I also really liked the way they re-invented themselves (and prog) in the 80's with "Discipline". So my top five :
1 Red
2 In the Court of The Crimson King
3 Islands
4 In the Wake of Poseidon
5 Discipline

Red is by far the one with less filler. Also, all the songs included are complete and fully crafted. It is more consistent. However, the feeling and emotions in it are somewhat impersonal. On the "appealing" issue, I´d vote for "In the court" or "Islands".
