Dude...

Starless...

How are we even discussing this? LOL

No disrespect to those who prefer Poseidon intended, though. But Starless is the best song ever. Like, THE best song. Ever.

Poseidon. Starless is mostly instrumental and I prefer tracks with vocals.

Starless over In the Wake of Posiedon, for sure.

But I would take Poseidon over the title track from Starless and Bible Black.

Poseidon is top 5 material for me, honestly.  And yet Starless still gets my vote.  It's that good.

Hi,
 
I've always thought that the "Poseidon" album was horribly overblown and probably an attempt by someone at the record company to pull off a type of Moody Blues hip/cool thing. Oh, an album about Poseidon, would be excellent!
 
I can hear the words now!
 
By the time Red and Starless came around, I seriously doubt that King Crimson, was going to play that record company bs that they put up with in their first albums. Unlike the first 3 albums, these two albums are very well focused and strong, and not depended on idealistic and any other notions.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I think, that 'In the Wake of Poseidon', including the title track, is a mere repetition of themes that were already present on ITCOTCK, and contains also a mediocre interpretation of a piece by Gustav Holst. In my opinion, ITWOP is one of the weaker albums of King Crimson, but considering their full discography, it is still quite good. Voted Starless, no doubt.
