This breaks down the earlier KC poll to find what the preference is from the classic era.

I mentioned it many times before: Red is my colour of the Crimson.

I'll go with the Sinfield era. Because of The Court and Lizard.

why not call it Sinfeld vs Palmer-James, just curious, since it is more logical / intresting to compare the two lyricists of KC then a lyricist and a vocalist.

The first period for its superior number of albums and for "Lizard" and "Islands".

Wetton, he has a better voice than Sinfield.

Sinfield era was good but Wetton reinvigorated the band.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I already thought about splitting up the poll. But shouldn't it be three eras then: the Lake era, the Wetton era and the era inbetween?
Anyway, in spite of my nick I have a slight preference for the Wetton era.

I'd go even further: Lake era, Haskell era, Burrell era and Wetton era.

The first 4, no doubt. Lizard and Islands are my favorite KC albums, and Islands is one of my all-time fave albums. In the Wake of Poseidon and In the Court are two excellent album as well.
Wetton-era has some great stuff, though the albums as a whole always have something that doesn't appeal to much that much, with the exception of Starless & Bible Black.

Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

I find everything between Court and Larks' to be fair to middling. But the Wetton era is by far the best Crimson.

This. I voted first era even though Islands is the only one in there that I like better than the albums from the "2nd era" Needless to say, with Walter's choices I would be voting Burrell Era

The first era, easily. My favourite album is the debut, and I kind of like more the atmosphere achieved by flute / mellotron. However, I do love the Wetton era too.

Although my avatar picture reminds Larks´Tongues, I voted for the early King Crimson era. It´s little bit stronger then the latest one, but just little bit.

It was simply a way of distinguishing the two eras which are, i feel, fairly distinct (though Islands does point to the latter era).
I wanted to compare the output of the group as a whole rather than any of its members..

The Wetton-Brufford era here. Lizard is the only one from the first 4 that can compete with LTIA, S&BB and Red IMO. All 7 albums are great though.
