| What about Earthbound? Can't we vote for Earthbound? Just kidding. I voted for Lark's Tongues because of Jamie Muir's percussion. |

for my money "The Great Deciever" box set, though released in the 90's, is what the 70's King Crimson is all about. The albums tamed a band that was meant to take improvisatory leaps onstage. Given the choices, I voted for Larks' Tongues in Aspic, because Jamie Muir still plays on that album, and the compositions heavily bear the mark of having gone through an improvisation stage. -ET ------------- sad creature nailed upon the coloured door of time |

Starless, Red and Lark's provide the best music of the long KC career. It's hard to vote for any of the three individually. I'd rather vote by era, but, I chose Starless.

| In the court of the Crimson King, if only for 21st Century Schizoid man and the title track. Mind you, I have yet to hear Starless & Bible black, so my opinion is somewhat biased |

| I agree with Lucas, RED is by far the best of all of KC's catalogue, let alone of the 70s. It is nicely dark and heavy. There is not a single tarack I dislike on this record. |

Ok very childish, but the only interesting thing I could say about KFC. I mean KC. All their stuff sounds kinda unfinished to me and fills me with the urge to say "where is the tune" or "this is not music, this is noise!" UGHHH -------------

Stop that now you nasty, nasty man. Really, King Crimson are very melodic. I remember hearing two notes on ITCOTCK that were in the same scale once...

RED Not a big KC fan, but I do like Red agreat deal, especially 'Fallen Angel' and 'Starless' ITCOTCK has some classic moments, but is a little chaotic for my taste. '21st century schizoid man' will always be a classic prog song. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Larks Tongues in Aspic. I like Red as well, but it doesn't flow as well as Larks Tongues in Aspic does. If you were going to include In the Court of the Crimson King in this poll, you might as well have included Discipline as well. I still wouldn't vote for it though. |

ITCOTCK is from '69, but I voted it. Three reasons why: 1. Greg Lake 2. Epitaph, title track, 21st Schizoid Man 3. The historical importance. It's THE prog classic IMO. If ITCOTCK would be not available for a vote, I would take RED, their trio line-up masterpiece.

| Even though ITCOTCK was released in '69, in my opinion it is the best of a bunch of great albums by a truly great band. It's true that their music can be a bit hard to take at times, but the marks of greatness are everywhere. BTW, as close seconds I would choose Larks' and In the Wake... - the latter mainly because of Greg Lake and his stellar performance in the title track. |

brilliant moments, but lesser quality material as a whole |

I'm in the minority but my vote is Lizard, I love how that album goes through so many different phases, jazz fusion, prog metal, avant garde. Each song is completely different in style and in genre, and it features a wonderful 20+minute epic featuring ------------- "http://tinypic.com"">

Red is my favorite 70's KC album. Why is In the Court of the Crimson King on here? It was released in 1969 and can't be called 70's King Crimson can it? ------------- "It's amazing that we've been able to put up with each other for 35 years.
