hehhe no ´60 nor ´70...because they would certainly have the majority of votes...
But the other eras are excellent too!!! I waven´t heard as much of the ´90 and ´00 as from the ´80, but from what I have heard the ´00 are my favorite period!!! Excellent prog metal?...mmm maybe

'00s, even if it's just because that's the one I got the best album from.

The 80's band was interesting for it'innovations, but that finger-excercise style of music got boring fast.

I'd go wth the latest.  Construction of Light & The Power To Believe were just amazing.
Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

For me it's undoubtfully 00 era, as IMO their latest studio is unbelievably good, their 90's are pretty mediocre, and their 80's are unbearably bad.

Too soon to pass definitive judgement on the "00's" (I'm enjoying Fripp's and Belew's solo ventures, though)...but one listen to "Absent Lovers" will convince most listeners that the 80's line-up was pretty incredible.

I thought they lost some direction with Construction of Light but Thrak and
The Power to Believe are awesome. Much heavier than the 80's which was
a little more poppy but had great songs nonetheless.
Still I go for the new millenium Crimson.

I prefer their 90's and 00's stuff but I also think that the 80's albums were very good and more innovative.

I won't vote, as they are all held in quite high esteem 'round here.

I do love the double trio material.  80's was too much like the rest of the new wave music out there at times.

Basing my vote on Discipline, Vroom and The power to believe (since they are the only albums I have from those eras unfortunetly) I vote for the 00's era.

My first KC albums was The power to believe!

Based on the albums I own, my vote goes for the 80's trilogy :

  1. Discipline (80's)
  2. Thrak (90's)
  3. Beat (80's)
  4. Three of a perfect pair (80's)
  5. The ConstruKction of Light (00's)

I prefer the double trio, largely because of the excellent live set Vroom Vroom. Absent Lovers should convince anybody with ears of the worth of the 80s Crimson line up, while Heavy Construkction showcases the TCOL line up to great effect.

In terms of studio albums, TPTB is the best set since the 70s, but these days I tend only to listen to Crimson live albums.

But I really like The Power to Believe.
