I do like Starless, but In the Court of the Crimson King the title track is so great Symphonic rock song; actually, both songs are at same, the highest level of King Crimson's greatness.

ITCOTCK is one of the few KC tracks I really like.
Starless is not one of the others.

How do you choose, between two of the finest songs from the world's greatest (IMHO) band? Although I love them both, I think "Starless" gets the edge. "In the Court of the Crimson King" seems (show your best shocked expression!) slightly repetitive by comparison.

Starless...

He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore

Tough but Starless for me. It has an emotional intensity that ITCOTCK lacks IMO.

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Starless by a mile - ITCOTKC is just a bit too silly (or maybe way too silly) in the lyric department, and dated in its sound for me...
