It is hard to dispute the logic here. 

But all three are worthy things to spend your time and money on. I'd say:

KC
UK

I was never able to warm up to UK, so not that one for me. I do love King Crimson, but for what I have heard from Starless and Bible Black, it's just not my favourite release from them (though I have actually only heard the songs through other live albums, not the real one... still what I heard from those songs didn't really impress me... except for Fracture). So it is Misplaced Childhood for me, which I really find beautiful and solid.

Crimson followed closely by UK.

Marillion is a very distant third. I bought into it all back in the day, but these days their sound just irritates me.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

The problem is "Starless" is on the album "Red."  We are talking about the album and "Starless" is not on "Starless and Bible Black."

I'm partial to Marillion for this poll, although UK would also be a very good choice.
I can't comment on the KC pick, unfortunately.

Can't go wrong with any of them, but that's no help.

You probably have heard Marillion and Crim before, so take a trip to the UK.

Can't go wrong with any of the 3, but Starless & Bible Black is head and shoulders above the others Wink

Perhaps that's the problem, perhaps I should chill out with it instead of trying to warm up to it...

In my country we hardly practice the giving of Christmas presents. We've just had Sinterklaas come over. Moreover, two of these albums are already in my collection and I care very little for the third.

But... to answer the question:
 
Marillion. I loved that album back in the day. My tastes have shifted a bit in the direction of UK's debut since then.

S&BB is, in my humble opinion of course, a low-point in Crimso's catalog, not better than Discipline (though The Night Watch is great).

I'm pretty sure someone hacked his account...Mosh 'the pure spirit' would never have made that kind of mistakes. lol

AND, I have those albums, which tells you I was working off memory, not because I decided to put them on, which would have clarified the KC issue faster for me.

I do make silly booboos at 68 ... like I will be in the middle of watching SAUVE QUI PEUT (Godard! I can never quit that son of a gun!), and I get up, pause the film, go to the kitchen ... and ... what? ... I needed to go to the bathroom instead!

So, yeah, the Christmas present I want is not a new CD or a new Remaster ... I want more of my  mind back! I can organize things better when trying to say something, but at times, I wonder what i wanted to say originally ... so nowadays, to improve that, I write ALL RESPONSES on NOTEPAD first, and read them a couple of times ... and maybe I will be able to like UK better this time! I really was not into that stuff (including Asia) because I was heavily into the French, Germans and Italians at the time ... and honestly, I felt that some of these others had lost their spark, and decided to go for the money, instead ... it was so obvious in the quality of the material it's not funny!
