The chorus (and almost everything) on Thela Hun Ginjeet pierces my eardrums achefully, and Indiscipline doesn't really appeal to me, but I enjoy the rest of Discipline when I play it, not very often.
90125 lacks the mistery of Crimson's album, but it doesn't force me to discard any track.
I don't know, it could be both or neither, according the mood.

It was this Yes album as a teenager that first got me into prog! I feel I owe it something.

I must admit King Crimson should be considered the higher artistical achievement, yet I don't really love much from it. I like it, but not much more. Yes, Poppy as it was, and a downgrade for us prog fans, still has a few songs I really like on 90125, pop and all.

I've never been a massive fan of 90125, but I'd prefer it over Discipline, any day quite frankly...

This poll has been going for four years and I had not responded or voted yet. I'm actually not very keen on either, nor have I given either album more than one full spin, but I preferred Discipline. Generally I prefer King Crimson to Yes, but Discipline never got to me as much as KC's earlier works. Listening to some of both again, I definitely prefer Discipline, and gave it a vote, I do like music off of it very much.
Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Apples and oranges. I really like both of these, but I voted for 90125 just because it resonates with me more on an emotional level. Discipline is such a great album, though, and technically very solid. It is just a little repetitive in parts. That repetition works, though, because when they do make a change, it stand out a little more ...almost like shifting gears.

Discipline era (Red, Blue, Yellow) reminds me of a mashup of Talking Heads, Zappa, and Philip Glass.

I like King Crimson better than YES
But 90125 is a better album than discipline IMO.

But not better than ToaPP.

Discipline. If the rather dated production of the 80s KC studio albums puts you off, bend an ear to the live album Absent Lovers.

My two most favourite prog band of whom I have all their studio albums (oh no, that's not true anymore: I gave away Heaven & Earth...). Discipline was the first KC album I heard, and I didn't like it at the time so I didn't explore more KC for a couple of years until I heard ITCOTCK on the radio and thought "wow!". But Discipline is somehow still my least preferred KC album, whereas 90125 was the first vinyl ever I bought and still has a special place in my music collection. So 90125 it is.

Discipline is my least favourite of the Red Blue Yellow trilogy, so it wouldn’t affect my vote. If I voted Discipline over 90210 (and I did), then it goes without saying I would vote for Beat and Perfect Pair, too.

90125.

I like both, but probably listen to 90125 more.
