Red without even batting an eye at the Gentle Giant album. I'm not a fan of Gentle Giant anyway and I'm a huge Crimhead, so the choice was easy for me.

I actually like other KC albums better. Providence is the only thing I really enjoy on Red, but that's good enough. I find Gentle Giant's music annoying. I might pick Free Hand over some country music albums. That's about it.

That's about right.

Sorry for not replying Progmetaller. I forgot I had been on this thread.

The Crims, easily. Although Free Hand is a very good album too.

i guess its Red here, not familar with the whole album as much, but i know of "Starless"' potential (for me, of course), as well as some good memories of the title track, so thats my vote

Red, obviously. There's no contest.

I do like me some Free Hand, though.
He looks at this world and wants it all... so he strikes, like Thunderball!
