Finally found my initial top five. 

Epitaph
Larks Tongues in Aspic part 2
21st century schizoid man
Ladies of the Road
Man with an open heart

I think if I were to do it now (but a top 7) it might be:

Larks Tongues in Aspic part 2
Easy Money
Lament
Starless
Frame By Frame (hard to narrow it down to just one song from this album)
Epitaph
21st century schizoid man

I don't think I voted. Pretty easy, all from the Wetton years.

1) Starless
2) Easy Money
3) LTIA #1
4) Red
5) Fracture

If this was expanded to the top ten KC tracks, it probably still would be occupied with songs from the Wetton era.

Maybe Formentera Lady was just too obvious a choice for Formentera Lady - equivalent to me not voting for Jimi Hendrix in a poll of great guitarists. Tongue

Why do we King Crimson fans get only five instead of seven? I'm not accepting it.

5. In The Wake Of Poseidon
6. Fracture
7. The Court of the Crimson King
What no Epitaph? I cannot be trusted - not even by myself.

Just before Christmas 2024, once again I'm not agreeing with my slightly younger self:

1. Starless
2. Lizard
3. Sailor's Tale
4. Epitaph
5. In The Wake Of Poseidon
6. The Court of the Crimson King
7. Cirkus

(I don't mean to change my vote or anything. This will be differnt the next time I think about it anyway)

In an alternate universe it is perhaps the most liked KC song of all time. Tongue

I might end up with blood on my forehead if I had to listen to that too often Wink
