these are the first two King Crimson songs i ever heard, when i downloaded some sporadic songs and burned them on a compilation album of prog, fusion and jams, two widely different KC tunes, from different eras, but the most important thing is, my first ever experience of King Crimson is these two songs -------------

'The Sheltering Sky' is pretty cool and I do like it, but I can't go against an utter classic like 'Starless'

| Obviously Sheltering Sky won't stand a chance in this poll. I consider Starless the best King Crimson song, and I suspect I'm not alone in my opinion. |

Don't care. I don't know a whole lot of tracks that can take me to another place, tracks like "The Sheltering Sky". "Starless" is two-faced in a way that it is gentle and aggressive, but overall very dramatic, but the other track ... it's just much deeper than that. It's one of those tracks that makes me think about life differently. Edit:

Starless of course, but I absolutely love the exotic and psychedelic atmosphere within The Sheltering Sky. Whenever I listen to that tune, it always paints a mental picture of African bush land on a hot sunset evening.

I like Discipline more than Red. But Starless if my favorite track off of Red and Sheltering Sky one of my least favorite on Discipline. My vote goes to Starless.

| Both. I wish that I could have seen KC play Starless live though. I like both equally. I like the live version of Sheltering Sky as well. It appears that Bobby Fripp might be enjoying himself. |

Starless, but I do like The Sheltering Sky, the best track on the Discilpline album. -------------
