Since the choices were so limited, I had to go with the most kick ass
line up of the three, because that reflects the direction they seem to
have mostly taken. Personally, I would like to put in a plug for
Discipline. One night in 198? I was driving along after working a
swing shift in Phoenix when I turn the dial and lo and behold the dj in
prog-dry Phoenix introduced the latest album by King Crimson.
After nearly driving off the road, because I could hardly contain my
excitement, I sat there and listened to the entire album. God
bless you mr. dj wherever you are. That album totally kicked my
ass. It rocked, it funked, it serenely grooved. I still
love it.

Red, of course. It defines the true essence of King Crimson

Although I'm only familiar with a few of their albums, I'd have to say Red.

I voted for ITCOTCK because out of the 3 proposed to vote, it was THE breakthrough and it is also the one with only one filler (Moonchild). The choice was difficult however since I consider Red not as their best album but Starless as their best number.
Oh! By the way...I also consider Red as the last KC album. All the rest is Robert Fripp solo projects released under a more selling commercial name.

In the court of the Crimson King is gorgeous. It's so gorgeous it is one of the rare songs in this world that can make me cry. Or thereabouts. Truth be told I'm only just getting into it... I've been encouraged to check out KC for a while now, namely by Odysseus. Now my boyfriend has finally given me some of their music. I have that particular album and I'm loving it

Out of those choices it would have to be Red.

ITCHYCOCK.
I think Red is a bit overrated- 4 to 4.5 stars at the most, but not 5.

In the Court of the Crimson King. I hate to say that a certain album defines a band, though. Not one album can define such a diverse band as King Crimson

Actually Thrak might be their best album for me today.
But i think the polls on which KC album is better should be put into
groups since Discipline and Starless and Bible Black are just too
different to be compared.
