There is no second thought for me it's Bruford,Cross,Fripp,Wetton. While the studio stuff from this line up is great its really not untill you dig a little deeper to find this wealth of live material that era produced that their true power is brought to life. With most of the live sets at that time consisting of a good amount of improved material you can hear at this raw level these musicians completely clicking with each other where body language is as good as words. For me the tough question would be what line up would be second.

Fripp, Bruford, Wetton, Cross & Muir.

 I wish they'd kept that line-up together through Red.

Fripp/Wetton/Bruford/Cross, hands down. Nothing like it at the time (except maybe the Mahavishnu Orchestra).

As for second, either Belew/Levin/Bruford or Lake/Giles/McDonald/Sinfield.

Lake, Giles, Mcdonald, Sinfield, Fripp
 
The band were at their melodic best. They had a good mix of jazz and classical in their rock music. Strong compositions. A good mix of keys too.
 
I find the Wetton era the most overrated prog band. Half of Starless and a third of Larks is experimental album filler. Don't like Wettons voice either. Apart from a couple of riff tracks and a couple of slow tracks there's not much else.

Line them all up a wall and have them shot.  Only then can we have King Crimson Permanent Assurance.

How about they all join together for a Yes Union kind of thing?  Evil Smile

The one that doesn't have Fripp in it Tongue

I KID! I kid of course.

This is tough, my favorite period is Larks to Red...but I think my actual favorite line up is:
Fripp, Bruford, Belew, Levin.

It's gotta be the Larks, Starless and Red lineup for me

I would love to have heard material by a Fripp, Wetton, Bruford, McDonald and Tippett combination though.....

LOL. The lineups between Larks and Red for me. Absolutely fantastic musicians and extremely experimental in nature.

My fantasy KC: everyone involved in Red, plus Muir and Tippett. Covers all bases I think.

Maybe the Peace songs Cool
They last about 1 minute each though. Devils triangle is scarily cool.
I played Larks in the car recently. I like it but the vocals never do it for me. The 2 larks songs combined last over 20 minutes consisting of about 5 minutes of music LOL
