Larks' Tongues in Aspic. If all of us gather together and eat cauliflower and beans, we can make our own wind farm.

Gentle Giant

Of those I know well, my top three are:

Gentle Giant - In a Glass House
Peter Hammill - Chameleon in the Shadow of the Night
King Crimson - Larks' Tongues in Aspic

GG and KC already each had three votes, so I decided to go with the underdog Peter Hammill (and, actually, I think I would have anyway). I should listen to more Curved Air and spin more Manfred Mann (I have heard Solar Fire).

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I observed before. It can be much like that with music for me; immersed in experiencing the moment.

Larks' Tongues in Aspic
or
Solar Fire (Prog or Hard Rock?)

I feel like going for Curved Air - Air Cut. Their last great album, but it's really quite lovely. I guess I logically should have gone for Larks' Tongues but it's actually my least favorite of KC's seven first classics (I still rate it a 9/10 actually, but all of their first eight studio albums are either 9/10 or 10/10 for me).

Chameleon comes third, followed by Circus One and Glass House.

With all due respect to In a Glass House, the standout here is Shoot Out at the Fantasy Factory. This album gets a bad rap because it's always compared to the previous album, The Low Spark of High-Heeled Boys, which of course is Traffic's masterpiece. Shoot Out is bluesier and more melancholy (Winwood was physically ill during the recording sessions) but only ever so slightly short of Low Spark.
