 Compliments the "best KC Vocalist" thread. Club Me 2

I've always been most fond of the Bruford, Wetton, Fripp, Cross (Muir) line-up. It's heard to choose between them, but Larks' Tongue is it for me with Starless nipping the heels.

 Tough choice, Danbo, but I'm with you for Larks' Tongues.

"Exiles" alone is worth it!

Lizard, Starless & B.B.,Court, Wake, & Discipline all indispensable too!

Islands for the beautiful title track. Although my favourite lineup is the 73-74 incarnation.

"In the Court of the Crimson King" gets my vote. A prog masterpiece and a defining moment of the genre. "Red" would also be up near the top. 

But then, they have such a wide and varied catalog that its hard to pick just one.

Tough..yeesh. In the Court of the Crimson King surely is one of the best, a fine example of prog at its best. What makes it hard is that almost all albums are superb as we see King Crimson evolving and heading towards something great each time.

"In the court" is my favourite! It was one of my first progrecords and has been important to me!

By the way, isn't "Happy with..." just an EP?? It's a nice track on Power to Believe anyway...

Am I the only one who voted for Lizard? Hmmm...why? I voted for it because Lark's tongues or the court will win anyway  and because it's as good as the two...

Voted for Red - an amazing dynamically powerful album.

Surprised Discipline hasn't received a vote so far.  Frame by Frame and Indiscipline are excellent imo !!
So here I am once more

Without a shadow of a doubt, In the Court of the Crimson King. This album is a becnhmark standard for all prog that has come after it. But forget about prog,. If you happen to care about rock and roll, you have to have this in your collection. 36 years later, the album still radiates a lot of intensity. Very few bands have been able to match it,including latter versions of Crimson themselves...

I voted Islands too. I wouldn't necessarily consider it the greatest, but it's my favorite.
