The court of the crimson king

Itchycock is neither their best nor a masterpiece (although it has some masterpiece content). I think In the Wake of Poseidon is an improvement and Islands is their best. Nevertheless this album is an unevitable milestone in the history of prog.

^^ As Morpheus said to Neo. "I know exactly what you mean."

Just finished listening to RED and ISLANDS also LARKS IN TONGUES ASPIC although all the albums ,i previously mentioned, i return to the debut ,i think sub consciously THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING just rates some much higher for me because of the range of talent there ,just has too many moments of musical finesse that i just find awesome ,i have looked for comparisons, in other works or songs like STARLESS ,A SAILORS TALE and A BOOK OF SATURDAYS to name a few but for the record as a whole THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING is just unparalleled also i would like to say that it was not,my first crimson album it was in fact THE WAKE OF THE POSEIDON , go figure p.s thank you for taking the time to read, not saying the other works by crim are weak not at all,the debut has everything most people who like prog like, any other suggestions or i.e bands or albums that have all the elements in them i.e mellotron keyboards flutes and double necked guitars also incredible vocal sty lings i.e PETER HAMILL ,JON ANDERSON i would really like know some of your tastes out there, thank you grant
