Topic: Three From King Crimson Posted: October 07 2015 at 06:20 |
Interested to find out which of the three KC albums in the list is your favourite? I know ITCOTCK is a special album amongst Crimson fans,so ive deliberately left this album out of the choices! JUST PICK YOUR FAVOURITE.

Lizard, easily. It has a delicate complexity unlike any other KC album.

Islands, even if In the Court was included. I know most King Crimson albums have their unique sound or approach, but I feel Islands has that little extra quirk and style than many of the other albums of the classic era. Plus, unlike the other albums from this poll - Islands does not have a weak track whatsoever.
Lizard would be my second place choice though. I'm not a huge fan of King Crimson's first two releases.

Islands but not easily. Lizard is very unique album (just like Islands) and is my second choice in this list. Islands have a very impressive sad atmosphere for me .

Three great albums on their own right, quite unique an different from each other, still maintaining the Crimson sound of that time . I know that ITWOP and Islands don't have a good reputation, but I enjoy them very much. No vote from me.

What a righteous matchup of albums. It's Lizard, though, as it's got a little something for everyone - just look at the album's artwork!

1. Lizard 2. ITWOP 3. Islands has its moments but it is one of my least favorite Crim albums.

As a whole I prefer Islands but the song Lizard is one of Crimson's finest moments.

Hmmm....I'm a fan of all of those and KC in general. I'll go with the underdog here and cast my vote for Poseidon....the title track is one of my favorite mellotron laced KC epics with great lyrics by Sinfield.
