First vote cast! King Crimson this time. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Neither of these is my favourite run by either band. With KC it's: Lizard (1970) -- my fave KC album. Islands (1971) Larks' Tongues in Aspic (1973) With Pink Floyd these days it's: Ummagumma (1969) Atom Heart Mother (1970) -- my fave Floyd album. Meddle (1971) That said, I like all of the albums in the poll and don't have a strong preference. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

this might seem nit-picky, but in the run "Red" came after "Starless and Bible Black". my vote will go with Pink Floyd here, but I prefer Logan's runs (if he will allow me the pun; I know he is fond of the movie "Logan's Run") -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

| KC for me. I like Wish you were here a lot but darkside is way too overplayed and animals is a bit overrated(although I do like dogs a lot). Larks tongues is one of my top ten favorite albums though and the two that followed it are both great too. |

| Re-evaluating KC lately and they are much better than I thought they were decades ago. Still, they are no Pink Floyd. PF easily |

All six are top albums in my book. No both option, no vote. If the PF run were Atom Heart Mother, Meddle and Pompeii it would be my choice. -------------

| Pink Floyd without a Doubt. To make it closer, and still not enough, and it wouldn't be in order of release, it would have to be In the Court of the Crimson King, Larks Tongues in Aspic, and Red. |
