Just one song from each studio album you own. You can name more than one, if it's impossible for you to decide.
ITCOTCK - 21st century schizoid man/The court of the crimson king
In the wake of Poseidon - Pictures of a city
Lizard  - Circus
Islands - Prelude:song of the gulls
Larks' tongues in aspic - Larks Part Two
SABB - Great deceiver
Red - Starless (although all other songs,except Prominence, come close)
Discipline - Elephant talk (actually nearly impossible to decide)
Beat - Sartori in tangier
Three of a perfect pair - Three of a perfect pair
VROOM - Sex sleep eat drink dream
Thrak - Dinosaur
The power to believe - Level five

In The Court Of The Crimson King - The Court Of The Crimson King
In The Wake Of Poseidon - Cat Food/Cadence And Cascade
Lizard - Cirkus
None of Islands is memorable to me.
Lark's Tongues In Aspic- Easy Money
Starless And Bible Black - Great Deciever
Red - Starless, honourable mention to Fallen Angel, though even then Starless is the obvious choice for me.
Discipline - Matte Kudasai, hard to choose though.
Beat - Waiting Man/Heartbeat
Three Of A Perfect Pair - Three Of A Perfect Pair
THRAK - Dinosaur
Haven't heard all of The ConstruKction Of Light
The Power To Believe: Eyes Wide Open

Actually, forgot about Islands, gently beautiful classical-sounding composition "Song of the gulls" is the best song there.

While I do have a favorite for that album, it's certainly my favorite Crimson album with no weak moments. Smile
