Lark's Tongues > Starless and Bible Black > Red
But I was tempted to put SaBB first with Lark's second.

Jamie Muir completes one of the very best groups in Prog rock´s history. He´s a genius and the performance is sheer magic, especially the German TV gig in late 1972 is telepathy. One magical album, others are superb but Red, as a whole album misses something compared these 2 previous and marks the end of a very special Era in British Prog.

honestly don't care much for this era. Each has tracks I like but most of it I don't like. Probably would go with Larks Tongues

Bark Dongs In Asics is my favourite KC album together with Lizard. Jamie Muir is the icing on a most adventurous serving. I think I'd rate SABB slightly higher than Red these days as I tend to go for the more raw and unfiltered in music. Red, while stunning, is still very much a continuation of what went before. The proto metal riffs that most folks assign to Red were already there on the debut with Schizoid Man. Larks though takes them to an altogether different level with the closing part of the titletrack.

My favourite has recently moved from Red to Larks'. Red is an outstanding prog album, but Larks' is an outstanding piece of modernistic music, which goes beyond already stunning excellence of Red and Starless And Bible Back. Starless may be my favourite piece ever, but Larks' is better than Red as a whole IMHO.

I voted for Larks. Taking nothing away from the others though. This was some band!

Slight edge to SABB but all three are 10/10.

I love them all equally. A great period in King Crimson's history.

Starless is good, but it would probably have been better if "Doctor Diamond" or some other improvs were included. Oh well, that's what the DGM archives are for. As for the order itself. Red > Larks > Starless I've listening to Red countless times. It was so ahead of its time and of insanely high quality, there was no way they could have topped this. No wonder Fripp dissolved the lineup when he did.

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.
