Each of King Crimson's 13 studio albums have had a title track (except Beat, but Heartbeat is adequate). Each of them have been quite good. So, which is your favorite? Over 40 years in the making, King Crimson never fails to impress me. I made up my mind and went with Larks Tongues. Just brilliant stuff!

| I'm between Court and Lark's Toungues... I'll have to go with Court because I just love that whole song, while Lark's Toungues I only like part 2. |

I'll toss a vote to The Power To Believe being I don't think it will get too many votes and it is an excellent suite. All the tracks are great though...sans Heartbeat. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Hey this is cool! I'll vote for Lizard, it's a really good song once you get the hang of it.

I'm too pedantic to accept Heartbeat.

Good one.. emm..
I'll go with the beautiful and underrated Islands, lovely tune. Close ones are Lizard and Larks'.

I'll go with the first one I heard - Red.

Larks and Red are great, and Heartbeat is a nice pop song

I'll go with Discipline, because I haven't heard all the parts of LTiA yet so I don't know if I like all four parts.

I'm throwin' another vote out there for "The Power to Believe". That was the first song that I really 'got' by King Crimson. Others came afterward, but "The Power to Believe" was the eye opener. ------------- -------someone please tell him to delete this line, he looks like a noob------- I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms. |

My vote is for the only both band and album title track.  ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath! Na-chaered palan-díriel o galadhremmin ennorath, Fanuilos, le linnathon nef aear, sí nef aearon! |

My heart says The Court of the Crimson King
My head says Larks' Tongues in Aspic
Together, they agree on Lizard. ------------- http://www.thefreshfilmblog.com/" rel="nofollow">

It was between Islands, Starless and Bible Black and Lizard. Lizard just because I love reptiles.

If you love Reptiles, then you should Hate Lizard; have you heard the lyrics on "Prince Ruppert Awakes"? "Burn a bridge and burn a boat, stake a Lizard by the throat". |

| I almost voted Larks but the words to Court are so magically meaningless and fun that I have to reconsider. The yellow jester in me shall decide. |

The Court of the Crimson King, followed by Red, Three of a Perfect Pair and The Power to Believe. ...Man, people on this site really hate Starless and Bible Black, don't they? ------------- Heaven's made a cesspool of us all. |

A toughy. I'll go with Larks.

I can't believe I'm only the fourth person to vote for ''In the Wake of Poseidon''. Such a great track. Some might call it a rehash of ITCOTCK but i think its a much better song and has one of Greg Lake's best vocal performances. ------------- ''Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.'' - Albert Camus |
