Both are good, but I find Red more listenable in the long run over the weirdness of Larks.

It'd fun though to put together one album as a mixture of the two, such as:

Easy Money
Fallen Angel
One More Red Nightmare
Exiles
Lark's Tongues II
Starless

If those two are only decent to you, then what would be examples of great albums in a comparable style?

Red always seems to get the nod over LTIA just like Moonmadness always seems to get the nod over Snowgoose. Personally I don't get it since I like the so called "lesser" albums by both bands. Oh well.

Both are fantastic, but I have to go with Red for this one. One of my favorite albums, regardless of genre Smile

Won't you take me down, to the underground

LTIA is my choice.  One of the best rock LPs ever pressed.

I'm quite impressed, so many are so fond of Larks' Tongues, as there's some pretty heavy stuff there. Tongue

Well, both ARE great. But I think Red is the better if only because of Starless.

You've started a thread about a similar subject, so you should know all about it by now. Big smile

The dramatic build of "The Talking Drum" followed by LTIA pt 2 is one of the best segments of music ever. David Cross' violin play is dramatic and emotional, and spars well with Fripp's guitar as counterpoint. 

But I also like Red, so I voted for both.
