I certainly don't use to make polls, but here's one, the David's way, and I have an idea about the most popular choice. Tongue
There you go!

Red by a long way for me.
I struggle with LTIA as much as I do with Discipline. I would like to feel the same 'love' for these as others do but it's just not happening (yet)

I do like LTIA but Red is clearly better for me.

LYIA is great, as all of KC 69-74 studio albums are. But Red is just something very special to me

Both are great, I'd give LTiA a slight edge but given the 'both are great' option I'm not voting against Red.

Both are great albums, but Red is just slightly better for me. Somehow my southeast bedroom became filled with edible multicolored tori and I can't find a bowl or a spoon.

It took surely some years before I was ready for Larks' Tongues, but I can't imagine, I'll ever be ready for Discipline. Big smile

Larks is great, but they hadn't found the proper way to transfer their full potential to the record yet. Red, otherwise, sounds really fulfilled.

^^Is there a preparation phase to be ready for something?

Both albums are good, each with a dud. Larks has Talking Drum and Red has Providence. Not great songs for me. So vote for both.

The dramatic build of "The Talking Drum" followed by LTIA pt 2 is one of the best segments of music ever. David Cross' violin play is dramatic and emotional, and spars well with Fripp's guitar as counterpoint. 

But I also like Red, so I voted for both.

You've started a thread about a similar subject, so you should know all about it by now. Big smile

Well, both ARE great. But I think Red is the better if only because of Starless.

I'm quite impressed, so many are so fond of Larks' Tongues, as there's some pretty heavy stuff there. Tongue
