I love them all, but I'm going to go with Poseidon only because of the impact it had on me when I first heard it. The title track transported me, almost an out-of-body experience. I can't even describe it, but I'll never forget it. The combination of Lake's voice singing Sinfield's lyrics and the Mellotrons with Fripp's acoustic guitar and Mike Giles' drumming... it sounded so vast and expansive as I lay on the floor in the dark with my head positioned perfectly between the speakers, drooling...

In the Wake of Poseidon. Very underrated, it's my third favorite album from KC after the debut and Red.
I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place

by a mile

Poseidon is a remake of Court - the A-side anyways - and Islands is fairly weak, IMHO)

Undoubtedly Lizard -
Recently bought the 40th Anniversary Series edition-which includes the audio CD, with 5.1 Surround Sound mix by Steven Wilson & Robert Fripp---Haven't got to the whole package yet but eventually will-I still stick to my old vinyl copy for now.
Lizard is my favorite KC album - Its the first time I heard progressive rock & jazz or jazz fusion-maybe one of the earliest examples of such a mixture-Almost like Chicago or Blood, Sweat, & Tears meet Robert Fripp!- The second half "Lizard" is fantastic with Jon Anderson singing on the section "Prince Rupert Awakes" - And once again Fripps powerful mellotron brings it all together-
- Music is Life, that's why our hearts have beats -
