One slightly unusual feature of King Crimson is that every one of their studio LPs (except Beat) has had a title track. So which do you like best?

I included Beat's "Heartbeat" for the sake of completeness, and crunched multi-part songs into one.

My personal choice is "Discipline". There are several good contenders on the list, but nothing beats the wacky rhythms on that one for me.

It's a dead heat between Lizard and Islands, but I went with Lizard.

Damn you. It's between Islands and Larks'.

Well, I like Islands more than any part of Larks' but since first two parts are joined, Larks' does win.
Islands just can't stand ultimate power of first two parts put together.

1. Power to Believe
2. Lizard
3. Larks'
4. Wake of Poseidon
5. In the Court of the Crimson King

What do you think of it? Competes with their "Classic Period"?

I was never a big fan of KC. I tried, but their music is very weird for my likings.
Exception the first 2 albums which are very good ones!
So I voted for "The Court of the Crimson King"... Smile

You are most welcome!

Thank you. :)

In The Court is still unbeaten to me.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution
