Well, this is a hard one...

1. Lizard

2. Epitaph

3. Exiles

4. Starless

5. Islands

6. In the Court of the Crimson King

7. I Talk to the Wind

8. Lark's Tongues in Aspic (part 1)

9. The Letters

10. Formentera Lady

Eh... they ended up in the slightly wrong order anyway. It changes all the time, but this list is more or less accurate, it just might appear confusing that my favorite album is "Islands" and not "In the Court..." which this list would suggest.

At least that's been his own

I love Cat Food for the piano. I'm wondering who is the piano player.
