Of course they are both great but I voted LTIA to give it more votes.

LTIA is my choice.  One of the best rock LPs ever pressed.

Both equally, but I won't call either great, rather decent, so no vote.

Both are fantastic, but I have to go with Red for this one. One of my favorite albums, regardless of genre Smile
Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

Red always seems to get the nod over LTIA just like Moonmadness always seems to get the nod over Snowgoose. Personally I don't get it since I like the so called "lesser" albums by both bands. Oh well.

If those two are only decent to you, then what would be examples of great albums in a comparable style?

Both are good, but I find Red more listenable in the long run over the weirdness of Larks.

It'd fun though to put together one album as a mixture of the two, such as:

Easy Money
Fallen Angel
One More Red Nightmare
Exiles
Lark's Tongues II
Starless

LTIA has grown on me, I think i'll listen to it again after this, I've been wanting to listen to it for a while, both are great... but Red remains my favorite KC album
The Wheel of Time Turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the shadow.

My two favorite albums by King Crimson. Both are great. I would rank Red just ahead of LTIA.

It's difficult to choose, both are great. I only wish they had still had the Larks line-up for Red.
