I own the first 7 plus The Power To Believe and A Scarcity of Miracles. I also have several live albums, box sets and ep sized cd singles. Not forgetting the double up of some of these on vinyl including the 1969 release of ITCOTCK.

I'm missing three but have no plans on getting them from the samples i've heard. Missing are ProjeKct Two, ProjeKct X and Scarcity Of Miracles.

I think all of their music is available online at various places and on the official website.

I sampled it on you tube and it seemed a little boring...I'll give it another try since I'm a big KC fan.

In the court-7/10(A couple of strong tracks but fairly dated. Compositions a bit raw. Overdose of mellotron)
In the wake-8.5/10(Strong compositions. Good variety or style)
Lizard-8/10(Similar to previous album but Haskells voice doesn't suit this music at all)
Larks-7.5/10(Some strong moments, some filler. Slower compositions the best. I only like Wettons voice on slower tracks)
Red-7.5/10(Heavier tracks better than previous album, but less slower tracks)
Starless-6/10(A couple of good tracks, bit disappointing otherwise)
Discipline-7.5/10(Solid album)
Three of a-8/10(Pretty good apart from that crap Sleepless song)
 
They produced their best melodies around 1970-71. Then they replaced the whole band pretty much. I like the slower stuff from the Wetton era mainly but it was a shame they split up around 1971. A few more years of Giles, Giles, Lake, Sinfield, Collins, Fripp may have seen Crimson as one of my fave 70s bands. But as it stands they are probably not even top 20 or the 70s. But their early 80s was pretty good. So overall they are around top 15 bands looking at the whole career
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

I've got everything except for Space Groove ---> The Power to Believe. I am also unfortunately missing Starless and Bible Black. Cry Amazon has not had it in stock over the last year, the special anniversary edition that is.

A very good album, but not one of their best IMO. Doesn't really have the same sound as King Crimson - as "Ian" said, like a Jakko Jakszyk solo album Smile

Of actual KC albums, missing only The Power To Believe (will remedy at some point!).
Don't have either ProjeKct or Scarcity.
