Top 3 KC Albums

My personal choices are ITCOTCK, Absent Lovers, & Red.

None of which hold higher rankings between one another. I think all three have equal ability that can never be duplicated. Its even then difficult to sort out whether LTIA, Lizard, ITWOP, Discipline, & Islands are runner ups because even though they don't match at all against the three best, they have highlights that are achingly beautiful. Anyway, if you have personal top three favorites, or more or less, go ahead & post them. Details are very much encouraged, because it really doesn't get much deeper than King Crimson!

These three , Larks' being my favourite Crimson album, and Red my second fave, I think:

1973 Larks' Tongues in Aspic 4.34 (316 ratings)

1974 Starless and Bible Black 3.67 (197 ratings)

1974 Red 4.42 (430 ratings)

1. In the court of the Crimson King (my favorite album ever)
2. Lark´s tongue in Aspic
3. Lizard
   

The Power To Believe
Red
USA live

That was hard to choose, But I went for USA over Larks Toungues because of the improved versions of Exiles and also because Ashbury Park is one of their best ever jams.
And TPTB because it is utterly amazing, and it introduced me to the bands modern music (I didn't listen past Red before then)

1.  In the Court of the Crimson King

1. Discipline
2. The Power to Believe
3. Larks' Tongues in Aspic

The Belew era is definitely my favorite.

I love so many, but none are stand out perfect, or truly, positively 5 stars (in terms of anything other than historical importance)

Noting that,

1. Red
2. In the Court of the Crimson King
3. The Power to Believe

1.ISLANDS
2.Lizard
3.In the Wake of Poseidon (or Starless)

Yeah I know, my tastes for KC are quite weird, since many consider them their weakest compared to Lark's, Red and Court.
