Floyd were my first love and demonstrated their writing talents on a number of great albums, 

... but ...

King Crimson's music has a longer-lasting effect. And they came around on my radar about the same time Floyd did ... and not only have they demonstrated their writing talents on a number of great albums, but ... they are also chopsmen, for christ's sake.

Gotta be the latter.

The Mighty Crimso will triumph!

And even if they don't, at least Gong beat Rush and have taken their rightful place as one of the Tier I '70's bands.

Yoohoo!  In the lead now.  Well at least the Crimson King won't go down without a fight, unlike previous hapless victims of Floyd.

Great competition Micky, well done (Univers Zero were robbed)

Agreed. Floyd was my gateway drug into the world of progressive rock. After having discovered Floyd I was loaned a copy of "A Young Person's Guide to King Crimson," still remember that funky album cover. At any rate, the album was a complete revelation, and since that time King Crimson has been the pinnacle of prog rock for me.

Always the most fun in these kinds of contests before the blue bloods assert their dominance.

KC.  Had they not had the Red album in their vast discog, my vote would have been different.  But with Red, they added a visceral rawness that was never really a part of Floyd's arsenal.

Just an appetizer though for the Battle of the Albums.. we've already invested a lot of time into putting that together and there is still a lot more to be done. This was something I threw together on a lark.. the album contest is getting a lot more input and thought into the composition of it.
Well, the Le Orme vs Rush was unpredictable even if Rush won in the end, or the fact that the final is not Yes vs Genesis Tongue

Cool, can't wait Thumbs Up

Voting from my Atom Heart....by the way which one is Pink?
 
The trifecta of TDSOTM, WYWH, and Animals was amazing!
 
KC gets the respect though, but most often not entirely my cup of tea.

It was a tough choice but in the end I went with Floyd, though I like more albums from KC, they've never quite matched Wish You Were Here and Animals.
