	Larks II: Sounds great in 74, 84 and 94.

	From what I know, I would choose Larks' Tongues in Aspic part II just above Red.

	Larks' Tongues In Aspic, Part I followed by Larks' Tongues In Aspic, Part II. Heck, the album's a masterpiece.

	I don't have a deep knowledge of KC. From the titles above it's Starless, but some of the title are totally unknown to me
	Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com

	This is tougher than putting the poo back in the puppy but I voted for Fracture, a composition that unlike any other I can think of in Prog approaches the mantle of erm....Art (Man)

	The phrase "this night wounds time" reminds me of Fracture.
	Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

	"The Devil's Triangle". I have a real soft spot for In The Wake Of Poseidon, that album has always really appealed to me for a number of reasons. That being said, there's some serious competition here (Lark's Tongues, Red, Fracture...) Interesting poll!

	Am I really the first voting for The Talking Drum? So great, how guitar and violin intertwine here... (BTW, from the above I only don't know Asbury Park. From what I know they did that only live in Asbury Park, isn't it?) Edited by Formentera Lady - September 20 2010 at 08:34

	Fracture happens to be my favorite composition of all time so there is really no hesitation on my part.

	"Larks' Tongues In Aspic, Part I".
	Various music I am very into: a youtube playlist with two tracks per act

	Very good question! This got me chasing my tail trying to put them in order. Difficult. But I go with Aspic 1, Red, Aspic II, then Fracture. That'll change tomorrow..
