But the first thing I saw in the poll was 'Moonchild'... and captivated me. I think it goes well with the word 'epic', maybe also for being a challenging track, but for the misty/remote-past atmosphere it has.

I go with Moonchild.

Glad to know I am not alone on it :)

Well done!

there's still another one of us :D

(I (super) like them all, except maybe the 00's ones, that I'll be checking later; but the one that also winks an eye on me is 'The Devil's Triangle').

Starless overshadows everything else KC have done for me.

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Very tough. In The Wake, just to be different.

Great vote for a great track from an underrated record.

I picked up a used 30th anniversary copy of 'Wake' and fondly rediscovered the album. Great sound and an economic edit of Cat Food and Groon thrown in for the bargain. Underrated, yes, with Lake's last outing with the band, abetted by the late, great Gordon Haskell, packing a significant oomf in Crimso's sophomore effort.

ITWOP just because of the incredibly simple and elegant mellotron solo in the middle

Epitaph. Not a top tier band for me but they do have some stunning tracks.

Starless...then ITCOTCK.........and of course Larks Tongue is two tracks not one long song.......bad form there to combine them imho.

One does nothing yet nothing is left undone.

Tough, went for Epitaph because there is nothing else like it and Greg Lake is simply magnificent.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic I & II

Yeah, I pulled the trigger for those as well even though I'm not sure why they were lumped together.
