So many to choose from but "Discipline" blows me away today just as much as it did when I first saw it in concert in 1982. Tony Levin is in a league all his own.

And it may not be the last. The thing just put me off. I never saw Belew as a suitable singer for the band, either. The supporting concert was enjoyable, though, and I even met Fripp in the lobby! As for the follow-ups, there was a little more emotion in them which raised the spirit of things a tad, but as a whole this post-Red triad of albums wasn't exactly a step forward since what was earlier accomplished.

This is way too hard. Unable to vote because I can't pick a "favorite," though "Thela," "Indiscipline" and "Sheltering Sky" have mileage to spare.

How odd. I thought that the next two were the worst Crimso had ever done. Sure Red could never be beaten but I thought it was a heck of a lot better then Beat and TOAPP

A fine album, and a very difficult choice. The title track is real groovy, and it could use a few more votes so...

Very hard but went for Matte Kudasai out of sheer beauty. The first four tracks are all fantastic however.

Frame.....though the 3 first Belew albums are my least favorite KC works. I prefer the later Belew albums.

King Crimson had never been so intricate, complex, and precise as they were on this album. The sound was totally different but the insanity was still there, more sharply focused and finely-tuned. One of my favorite albums of theirs. I vote the(la) Hun once again for it's story within a story frenzy.

"Discipline" is possibly my favorite song by my favorite band. The great majority of metal or avant prog bands can only dream of being as intricate, intense, and flat-out exciting!

Frame by Frame followed very, very closely by Sheltering Sky, followed by Matte Kudasai and Indiscipline (tie). Got this album the day it came out accompanied by the final dose of Uncle Syd taken in my life.

So many great choices, but I went with "The Sheltering Sky" like the last time on some other poll.
