To make it fair please only vote for one if you have heard all three otherwise select option number 4. Thanks.

Hi,
Really hard to decide since they are 3 excellent albums. And RF's nice words about JW ... are very cool.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

It would have to be Red, wouldn't it.

I would expect Red to be the runaway winner but it's not my favorite. I voted for LTIA. Red has an improv track called providence which kind of brings the album down a bit imo. Starless and Bible Black from the album of the same name is a better improv piece imo.

I would have to go with all 3 if I could vote, this is my favorite era of KC, Wetton's bass playing gave it a whole different feel. The addition of Bruford helped too. The main reason I say this is from listening to The Great Deceiver and all of the live stuff from this era, so good.

I don't like any era of KC. Red is OK in parts, but the other two are poor.
Wetton's best work was with Steve Hackett's band and on Martin Orford's brilliant The Old Road.

Red as an album, though Fracture is my favorite song of the era.

Larks and Red are pretty solid albums although not classics to me
|
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.
