Both. I'm not choosing one over the other (even though my top 100 gun-against-my-head list suggests otherwise).

/gun against your head.
So, now what? |
Well, the list says Pawn Hearts, although I should probably re-evaluate that.

I do prefer Lark's; in fact, it's my favorite KC; but Lizard is more experimental.

Or a guitar; but you're pretty well right.

Van der Graaf Generator, Pawn Hearts.

When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night.

Larks Tongue in Aspic. Great album, memorable title and cover.

Pawn Hearts by far. I have never quite understood the attraction to Larks Tongues in Aspic.
|
I am currently digging: Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz! Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

i have never heard of pawn hears outside of A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers (and man what a good epic), but i have heard more into Larks' for a couple of months now even though pretty much the whole album is brought down on Youtube (f**kin' bullsh*t!!) so my vote goes to Crimson. | I'd say you're not really qualified to vote. Mine goes to Pawn Hearts but its two of my lasting favorite progbands up against each other. I'm one of the very few that prefer both Red and Starless and Bible Black over Larks Tounges from their 73-74-era.

I have a lot of time for Pawn Hearts, and "Lemmings" is one of the best album openers in prog (or in rock, for that matter). However, Larks' Tongues in Aspic is, in my view, a much more cohesive album - not to mention a much more influential one. The only thing that prevents it from achieving perfection are Wetton's still rather shaky vocals. On Starless and Bible Black he had already grown into a much better singer.

Right! When I think of Wetton's three studio album stint with Crimso', I think of "shaky" vocals. Brilliant observation, Schmedrick!

Pawn Hearts because it was the closest option to my mouse cursor at the time.
Also I like it more.
