I'm torn between Starless and Book of Saturday. Starless is the classic, with all of it's wonderful chord changes, but I think Book of Saturday is more vocal-centric. It's a wonderful vocal piece, with interesting lyrics, and not over-shadowed by the band. Kind of like PF's Wish You Were Here. I voted for Book of Saturday.

Not a great fan of the Wetton voice, but I do like it on Book of Saturdays. When it comes to his bass playing there are too many brilliant performances to choose from, but I pretty much only listen to live recordings of KC so won't pick a particular studio cut.

Yes. You know, I listened to the album as a whole again last night, and enjoyed every single minute of it, particularly Providence. When I reviewed the album a few years back, I was way too harsh on that track. |

For me, it's got the be a live version of Starless... it just sounds like the main melody was made to be played by a violin. |

The Night watch is so beautiful, it had to be my choice.
Exiles and Starless are close behind

Starless is great. It's one of my all-time favorite songs by King Crimson - it's probably my favorite after Epitaph.
But man, the guitar in that piece is great. We're dealing with Robert Fripp and John Wetton, and we're dealing with them at their best. The number of remixes Crimson members made on Starless are uncountable. But none of them are even close to the level of the original. And you know what? I'm going to give Starless a listen right now.

If it's just overall song, Starless. If it's favorite vocal performance...either One More Red Nightmare or The Great Deceiver.
