1. The Lamb
2. Starless and Bible Black

I don't understand the attraction to Red. Most everything seems so slow and boring on it to me. Providence is a fantastic piece, though.

Red or Relayer, Red or Relayer...tough choice. Either is one of the best albums these bands recorded.

Relayer. Just a cosmic blow-out start to finish.

This is the most difficult for me so far, for all of this albums have at least something I don't really like so much. As a whole, I think I like Red best... but I'll be voting for Relayer on the strength of Gates of Delirium.

Lamb, more quality songs. I can't vote for Red because Providence throws the whole thing off for me.

To each his own! Rest of Red is truly great. Feel slightly bad for voting for Lamb.

Here's a weird thing : I have known Topographic and Lamb for around 25 years, and to this day, I have more 'trouble' seeing the genius in Lamb than the other, and I know them both inside and out, back to front.....

The only 2 here that I adore are The Lamb and Relayer- both plain essential (IMHO)

Today Relayer..."Stand and fight we do consider.."

"Reminded of the inner pact between us"

Wow, it's very interesting to see Red pull ahead so quickly; I thought for sure this was going to be Relayer with flying colors.

Well, that may be because Red is to KC what CTTE is to Yes or SEBTP is to Genesis.  As in, it's an album that attracts lot of people who may not even be huge KC fans.  ITCOTCK is another such album of KC.  Relayer isn't quite in that category, which doesn't make it better or worse than Red.  It's all down to preferences and I personally prefer Red.

The Lamb gets my vote too, and that would also be my order of preference exactly.
