I thought "great" was better than "best"??


Seriously? Greatest is better than just great. Great is significantly above the average, having excellence, best is the greatest, being most excellent.

Anyway, I don't like making such value judgments, but my favourites by King Crimson are Lizard, Larks' Tongues in Aspic and Islands. Larks' used to be my favourite, but I prefer Lizard these days.

Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act

Red is easily the worst of KC's first eight albums. No contest here.

I prefer Red as well but I would tend to say that Court is the better album mostly because it is much more diverse musically. Also, I believe Red did not bring anything new to the table, it was a bit of a rehash of Larks and S&BB imo whereas Court was groundbreaking.
"Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars' earlobes. Wolf nipple chips. Get 'em while they're hot. They're lovely. Dromedary pretzels, only half a denar."
