Larks 2, Exiles and Saturday versus Epping

The highlights of both albums. At least England has more good music though.
Cinema is pretty good. Moonlit is hit and miss although has cool parts. Firth is overdramatic and depressing and usually skip it England is better album
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Firth of Fifth is killer....nothing quite like that on LTIA.....though I love KC and as I said in another thread...prolly my favorite prog band.....but I have to go with Selling England here on the strength of Firth.

Love both but I'll pick SEBTP on the strength of Firth of Fifth & Cinema Show.

Larks' despite being dynamic to the point of ridiculousness is still pretty cool. 

I have a difficult time with much of Gabriel era Genesis. 

So, easy: KC
New album!

Not an easy choice...

...But LTIA for me. SEBTP is almost perfect, but "More Fool Me" really brings it down for me. The production on LTIA is spotty as hell, but the strength of the experimentation more than makes up for it (plus that style inspired hoards of experimental metal bands).

Selling England By The Pound by a mile.  Not even close.

I too prefer the live versions of many of Crimson's songs. From Larks Tongues I find both Exiles and Easy Money much better live (from Collectable King Crimson vol 1, Exiles from Ausbury, and Easy Money from Mainz). But The Talking Drum and Larks part 2 I find much better on Studio... mostly because on those ones I do love Muir's contributions, and the violin sounds better. As for Larks part 1, I never really warmed up to it until I heard the live version from the new line-up (Easy Money is very nice with them too).

Very close for me but I voted for tongues since it's my favorite KC album. I still think some of it is some of the most wacked out music ever made.

LTIA is one of the best LP's I've ever heard. That lineup was KC's finest.

same--SEBTP has a special place in my heart--think the atmosphere is magic from beginning to end--plus it has the best long prog guitar solo---and the best long keyboard solo in prog.Smile

LTIA was more revolutionary for its time, no slam to SEBTP, another outstanding album.
