What about Earthbound? Can't we vote for Earthbound? Just kidding. I voted for Lark's Tongues because of Jamie Muir's percussion.

Ha ha, I thought it'd be ok to omit Earthbound, and just give USA as a live option.

 Shouldn't really include a compilation (Young Person's Guide) here.

All good, but USA rocks! I LOVE "Asbury Park" -- it alone is worth the price!

for my money "The Great Deciever" box set, though released in the 90's, is what the 70's King Crimson is all about.  The albums tamed a band that was meant to take improvisatory leaps onstage.  Given the choices, I voted for Larks' Tongues in Aspic, because Jamie Muir still plays on that album, and the compositions heavily bear the mark of having gone through an improvisation stage.

Starless.  'We'll let you know' still amazes me; to hear all that come out of nothing...

Starless, Red and Lark's provide the best music of the long KC career. It's hard to vote for any of the three individually. I'd rather vote by era, but, I chose Starless.

In the court of the Crimson King, if only for 21st Century Schizoid man and the title track. Mind you, I have yet to hear Starless & Bible black, so my opinion is somewhat biased

A KC poll, should be able to get more than 17 total votes now!

I've just voted for "Court", best by a country mile!

Only ITCOTC (and a couple songs of Poseidon) K.... after losing the voice, they went downhill from there...

and remember:

ITCOTCK is the number 1  progressive album ever...

I agree with Lucas, RED is by far the best of all of KC's catalogue, let alone of the 70s. It is nicely dark and heavy. There is not a single tarack I dislike on this record.

TITCOCK

LOL

Ok very childish, but the only interesting thing I could say about KFC.

I mean KC.

All their stuff sounds kinda unfinished to me and fills me with the urge to say "where is the tune" or "this is not music, this is noise!"

For goodness sake everybody knows  In the Court Of the Crimson King was released in 1969, so what is it doing in poll of 70's Krimson albums?
