I'd think there are lots of people here who love Poseidon but still wouldn't vote it to be KC's best on a list that has Court and all the other greats, too. I agree, arguably it's something of a Court clone but still great to listen to. It wouldn't qualify for the top spot at all with that description.
I wouldnīt say it a court clone, because b-sides are totally different. Donīt know at all, would Fripp wanted to do it same as Court, there are even part of the tittle song heard in the end of the album although the whole other b-side is different. Anyway great album and I could imagine to vote it Crimsonīs best. It really has all that greatness that is in Crimson music. If somebody thinks Islands is the best, why not Poseidon too?

No idea whatīs Itchycock. Anyway I think Poseidon work very well as an album, loved it immediately after heard it first time. Sometimes I think their only seventies "failure" was Islands (only b-side, loved always a-side) but nowadays love it too.

I think both bands are great in their niche.  KC is obviously much more big p Progressive.

Noooooo! Well, have to admit Starless & Bible is almost as great, really love The Night Watch and Trio in it. And those long jams have many great moments. Improvisations in SABB is better than Providence in Red.

Best KC albums? Lizard and Shark Thongs.

My favourite right this minute? Islands because I just span it...also happen to vote for it.

I just listened to Lizard for the first time in years, and it's much better than I remember.

hmm I might still have it, thought I got rid of almost all my collection just before the market improved for albums, naturally, but I might have inherited a copy more recently.

Oh ok. See I wouldn't know because I've never owned it or seen it. I would like to have a copy one of these days but for now I don't feel like spending 80 dollars for it(If I'm lucky)on ebay. 

I like the later stuff but much of it seems to lack the imagination and experimentation of the first incarnation of the band. Not sure if you are a fan of Rush but most of their later stuff doesn't include much acoustic guitar either(after Permanent Waves) except for a bit on presto and maybe a little bit on their most recent ones.
