larks, red, starless. 3 good albums. Nothing great, but solid. But Starless does drag on with alot of mindless instrumental stuff ;)

The phrase "starless and bible black" is taken from the poet Dylan Thomas's play Under Milk Wood.

Just in case anyone was wondering.

The Nightwatch may very well be my favorite Crimson live album.
So much music. So little time.

Definitely Starless. Then I would say Discipline.

Seems like a lot of folks here [from what I've read on this thread] are really a bit too tame to really dig what Crimson's about. OH the intensity! Red is my favorite - it floors me [volume WAY up, w/ earphones esp.] KC has a lot of elements that define them as outstanding, but if you ask me the greatest may be Fripp and his amazing 'evil genius.' The reformed Crimson, after Discipline that is, is really just flogging a dead horse imho - and sometimes a tiny bit commercialized

I disagree.  I used to feel the same way, but now Starless is firmly lodged as my favorite song of all time.  That "instrumental junk" in the middle before that blast of horns is the most perfect buildup of tension in progressive rock, IMO.

Red is for me much better then Starless. Larks is with Islands the best KC album
