I think that Island has some of the prettiest songs on it. The theme song is a real tear jerker for me. And then the sad Cello....buuuuuuuhhhuuuuuu

I have very mixed feelings about King Crimson. On one hand every time I hear tracks like The Court Of The Crimson King or Starless I got goose bumps because of the amazing Mellotron eruptions, fiery electric guitar, outstanding interplay and great skills from all musicians. But on the other hand the complex and experimental parts ('the organised chaos' or 'sympho-cacophony') are not my cup of tea, too nerveracking!

1) In The Court Of The Crimson King: beautiful balance between male (agressive guitar and saxophone) and female (soft Mellotron and flute) side

2) Red: dynamic and dark, very original, Starless is my favorite track, what a build up and climax

3) Discipline: 'return of the giant King Crimson', most innovative progrock from all symphonic dinosaurs after The Seventies

4) Cirkus: great live compilation 2-CD

5) USA: exciting Seventies live album capturing King Crimson at their creative peak

 ITCOTCK is one of my top 5 all time favorite albums by anyone in any genre of music. Red is excellent also, but Im actually not a fan of the entire KC catalog. IMO they have put out alot of duds. After the early-mid  70s they seemed to wander aimlessly with too many lineup changes to mention with Fripp being the only constant. While the first few albums were very important in the development of "prog", as a whole I think they are overrated.

I think Red is overrated

1- Lark's toungues in aspic (for its musical body, especially Easy Money)

2- Island (Ladies of the road is just amazing)

3- Lizard

4- In the wake of poseidon

5- In the court of the Crimson King

I see I just voted for the first 5 albums 

I would give a double 6 to Starless ad Power to believe
