I don't enjoy KC as many Prog fans do, except for Lizard and Islands which I love. Though from this album I can take a good bunch of dosis of 21st Century Schizoid Man.

21st Century for me.
This is one of my least favorite KC albums, believe it or not.

The title track is my favourite from this somewhat overrated album. Epitaph is a good second.

21st Century Schizoid Man with Moon Child a close second. I like all the "noodling" on Moon Child and the jazzy elements of Schizoid.

I've just got the Cd Remaster of this album, and thought I'd put them in order of my favourites, as some others have already done:-
1. The Court of The Crimson King - brilliant, brilliant track and easily best on the album
2. I Talk To The Wind - gorgeous mellow tune, influential too, love it
3. 21st Century Schizoid Man - I especially love the extremely influential instrumental section
4. Epitaph - very nice song
5. Moonchild - nice start then a load of nonsense really
Essential album, and the remaster (compared to my old vinyl) sounds really great.

Voted for the title track as it still sends shivers of delight up my rodent spine after all these years. The album as a whole is hardly a masterpiece, notwithstanding it's pivotal status to the genre and it's clear far reaching influence on all the artists who followed in its wake. The 5 votes for Moonchild strike this poster as consumers deeming the air in the balloon animal to be part of the design. (Cue impassioned defence of the labyrinthine conceptual rigour of stoned hippy noodling  )

"21st Century Schizoid Man" for me! My first KC track, and it was love at first sight. On more and more listens, I've grown to love it even more. About a year go, I would have said the title track, but it's a rather simplistic song even though it's long.

haha, I was going to do this poll but I was sure it had been done before, so...I just simply had to vote for epitaph.

Even so, it is a pretty decent song. I vote 21st Century... as well.

I definitly go for Epitaph, for me the best moment from Greg Lake on Vocals, I really love it. So far, this is my fav KC album, and find it unlikely any other could take it's place for me. As a matter of fact it's grown on my apreciation. The first tracks I loved were Epitaph and the Title track, 21st Century was too noisy for me and the other 2 too boring. Then I came to apreciate 21st Century thanks to hearing it live on Collectible King Crimson Vol 1 (I still like better this other version, much more powerful, and the annoying -for me- sax replaced by the violin worked fine for me). Then I came to apreciate Moonchild (only the sung section, the long instrumental is still too much for me), which I find rather beautiful, and last I came to apreciate I Talke to the Wind, though it's still the weakest for me (appart from the long instrumental section from Moonchile).

Simplistic =/= bad, though. I'll have to listen to the album soon and vote here.
