Help me guys, I just went out and blew my whole paycheck on KC albums! I previously owned ITCHYCOCK, Power To Believe, and the Eyes Wide Open DVD (as well as an old copied cassette of Starless and Bible Black, circa 1982, wtf? ). I didn't listen to 'em much, I thought Power To Believe rocked, Eyes Wide Open was too dense for me to understand in a single sitting, not knowing most of the non-PtB material, and that ITCHYCOCK was fun on occasion...
...then I heard Red. Holy f**k. I went out and got In The Wake Of Poseiden, Lizard, Red proper, Cirkus, The Night Watch, Happy With What You Have To Be Happy With, and The ConstruKction of Light. I've listened to all of it once except the first two... and EVERYTHING is amazing the living hell out of me.
...the main problem is that I didn't save enough money for some marijuana! :( I'm not a regular smoker, but this is just BEGGING it!
...the ex better hurry up and give me my Krim DVD back so I can watch it again, or I'll beat his ass!

I'm dumb. I didn't get In The Wake Of Poseiden, I got Lark's Tongue in Aspic. It's been a loooong day.

Haha, welcome aboard my friend.
As DB pointed out, you need to get Discipline next.

Welcome to the world. However all you really need is their 3 80's albums.

And do you realise there are all those Krimson 'beat the boots' live CDs, Fripp has issued through the King Crimson Collectors Club - could bankrupt you!

Im a recent convert too, just cant get enough of this band!!
I own "In The Wake Of Poseidon" and "Red", and "Larks Tongues in Aspic" is on order .

You have their debut album: there you have an essential... 
Larks' Tongues in Aspic - Starless & Bible Black - Red... Must have!
Discipline - Beat - Three of a Perfect Pair - Absent Lovers... Don't miss these!!
And the double-trio line up album Thrak is also an essential IMHO...
The 80's stuff is cool, but not the only thing you need of King Crimson... As you said, you're inlove. I think you're not going to stop anymore!

Can't beat Red... unless there's a live one somewhere with a better version of Starless on.
