I predict starless will get the most votes. It's very good but a bit sloppy towards the end and a bit overrated imo.

Yeah, I pulled the trigger for those as well even though I'm not sure why they were lumped together.

that's a happy bag of lettuce

Tough, went for Epitaph because there is nothing else like it and Greg Lake is simply magnificent.

Why Larks of course.
Mesmerized by it.

Epitaph.  Not a top tier band for me but they do have some stunning tracks.

The avatar implies you are a KC fan.
Starless...a bit 'sloppy towards the end'...? How so and which spot timewise?
Overrated? Probably....most of these favorite epics end up that way.

ITWOP just because of the incredibly simple and elegant mellotron solo in the middle

Great vote for a great track from an underrated record.

I picked up a used 30th anniversary copy of 'Wake' and fondly rediscovered the album. Great sound and an economic edit of Cat Food and Groon thrown in for the bargain. Underrated, yes, with Lake's last outing with the band, abetted by the late, great Gordon Haskell, packing a significant oomf in Crimso's sophomore effort.

It's between Epitaph and Starless, but since Epitaph needs more love, I went with it.

Starless overshadows everything else KC have done for me.
Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

Could be any.

But the first thing I saw in the poll was 'Moonchild'... and captivated me. I think it goes well with the word 'epic', maybe also for being a challenging track, but for the misty/remote-past atmosphere it has.


I go with Moonchild.


(I (super) like them all, except maybe the 00's ones, that I'll be checking later; but the one that also winks an eye on me is 'The Devil's Triangle').
