Okay, no doubt this will be a minority view: as much as I like the energy of Schizoid, I'm a big fan of I Talk To The Wind. I love the harmonies, the flute, the dreamy atmosphere and ditto lyrics, the vocal harmonies, and because it's so completely different from Schizoid. But all tracks are equally good, though some are more equal than others |

| I love 'em all, but i think "In the court..." is the best, really close is talk to the wind. Epitaph is a good song, but it is soooo gloomy and depressing and desperate, it is emotionally, for me, a hard song to listen. |

When I first purchased the album, I was would have said that 21st century schiziod man was my favorite, but Epitaph has really grown on me o'er the past months. The mellotron in that song is so powerful and Sinfield contributes some of his best lyrics of his career. It's spectacular! ------------- And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime. I never said I was frightened of dying. |

Epitaph is just too good. I did an oral presentation on Peter Sinfield and presented that song to my class. One of the best performance by Greg Lake too! ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Philrod/?chartstyle=Geldropdown-small">

1. Epitaph 2. ITCOTCK 3. 21st century schizoid 4. I talk to the wind 5. moonchild However, all 5 are SUPERB, not a single average track on here. I even like moonchild a lot, the last part of it definitely has its purpose and is not just "brainles" filler. |

Moogtron, is that you who voted for moonchild? But seriously it makes an otherwise excellent album almost sub par in my opinion. Dull, pointless, not even good jamming |
why do you hate me?

Title track is simply the best to my taste - miles ahead more progressive than all the rest! |

I dont hate moon child i think its a great song its yust as the title sugests a dream and an ilusion, and thats how the music sounds i think like an dream and an illusion. I have never understod why everybody hate it so much i think it fits for the album perfectly some time to breath for the lisner, betwen all the heavy songs. To me ITCOTCK is a perfect record with no flaws, one of the best albums ever. But perhaps its becaus it was one of the first prog albums i bought it has a special place in my heart -------------

Epitaph. And the end of Moonchild is actually not bad. Listen to it again. I challenge you. |

| When i first heard this album, i've listened to "21st Century..." 10 times before I listened to the rest of the album! It's still my favorite on the album so "21st Century..." gets my vote. |

Dull, pointless, not even good jamming My answer: No, I didn't vote for Moonchild, I voted for I Talk To The Wind. I do like Moonchild though... I just don't understand why people hate Moonchild. The ending may be too long, but for the rest: it's a very atmospheric song... I think there's no single weak track on ITCOTCK. Fripp included all songs of that album on Frame By Frame, although Moonchild was adapted a bit... It says something, I think. 5 out of 5, a real killer album! |

| I like the title track. To me, it seems the band just doesn't want the song to end. I think it's really good. 21st Century and I Talk To The Wind tie for a close 2nd. Epitaph is great too, but the first 2 mintues of Moonchild are all I really care for. |
