Topic: Best song off each King Crimson album Posted: February 01 2016 at 04:46 |
Epitath Cat Food Lizard (Circus & Happy Family are close seconds) Song To A Gull Groon (from Earthbound) Exiles Fracture Starless Asbury Park (from USA) From the 80's onwards, it gets more complicated to choose a favourite track, because there are no clear stand-out Thela Jun Sartori In Tangier Larks' Tongues In Aspic Part III Dinosaur FraKctured Eyes Wide Open

This is a tough one because KC is at the top of my list of best bands, but I will try...
ITCOTCK - 20th Century Schizoid Man In the Wake of Poseidon - Cat Food/Groon (bonus track b-side), Devil's Triangle Lizard - Lizard Islands - Sailor's Tale/Prelude: Song of the Gulls LTIA - Both pt. 1 and 2 of the title track/Talking Drum Starless and Bible Black - Fracture Red - Starless/Red Discipline - Matte Kudasai/Discipline Beat - Neal and Jack and Me/Requiem Three of a Perfect Pair - title track/Industry/LTIA pt 3 Thrak - Everything on it...love this album Constrkction of Light - LTIA pt 4/The World is My Oyster Soup Kitchen Wax Floor Museum/Into the Frying Pan The Power to Believe - Level Five/Happy With What You Have to Be Happy With
This was as hard as I expected....and I just couldn't pick a favorite off of Thrak. I know I'm the odd one out here but I love that album, but Red still remains my favorite album of all because it's so hard to beat a perfect masterpiece like "Starless"....simply amazing.

that's it that's all

I don't know Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair.
Thrak, The Construkction of Light and The Power to Believe are all great. But I can't remember the names of the songs at the moment.

In the Court... - Epitaph
In the Wake... - In the Wake...
Lizard - Cirkus
Islands - The Sailors Tale
Larks Tongues - Exiles
Starless & BB - Toss-up between Trio and Fracture
Red - Starless. IMO the best track by ANYONE of all time
I'll pass on "Discipline" and afterwards, cos there's no comparison, though I do like "VROOOM VROOOM" off the "THRAK" album - very remeniscent of "Red" on "Red".

Schizoid, Pictures, Lizard, Saturday, Red, Nightwatchman, Discipline, Frame. I haven't got Islands or Beat yet and stopped collecting at the mid 80s
|
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.
