I got into KC through the ProjeKcts and their 1990s material in general rather than their 1960s/1970s output, so I've always been able to value both on their own premises. To be frank I'm not that up to snuff with what they recorded in the 1980s beyond Discipline.

I like..... no strike that, love both, though not equallyTongue Sharks' Tongues and Jizzard are among the finest prog rock albums ever made. I've also warmed up to the debut and am playing it much more these days.

'I don't care' as their are only two KC albums that I really love

Red & Power To Believe

KC are/were a patchy band imo.

Go Belew  go!

About both equally actually.
If the question is solely about studio albums I'll go with the option Discipline till now.
Live is another matter, there's not much in live rock that matches KC 73-74 for me.

Up to Red easily, I really like the rest but through 74 is definitive

Sure the "Up to Red" era came first and helped launch a whole new realm of music. That aside, I like the 80's albums just as much as I enjoy those from the "Up to Red" time period. They each have certain styles I find enjoyable, and I don't think I could pick a favorite. And that's not even considering what came in the 90's and later.

for me it is a mixed bag. I like "Thrak" better than some of the old albums ("Starless and Bible Black", "Islands" and "In the Wake of Poseidon") and "Discipline" at least better than "Islands". I like "Lizard " best though, followed by "Red"

Up to, stopping just short of, then revving up again and driving straight through Red, then doing a U-turn and hitting the gas station.

Wouldn't like to choose one over the other, so I guess I like both about equally.

if it was just the 80s vs 69-74, then it might be another story

Easily the 70s (+'69) era Tongue I only own Discipline from the other one, but everything except SABB (while I really need to buy!) up until Red Smile

I like the Discipline period but not up today---just those 3 albums---and the earlier period is hit or miss for me--lot's great some annoying.
