I won't argue with that, but one of them is still evidently far superior |

I like much of the second era, especially the first few albums, but overall the first is definitely better in my opinion. It has the entire Wetton era which is about the pinnacle of progressive rock in my mind. Plus it has Lizard and Islands which are some of my all time favorite albums, and VERY unique sounding. ------------- Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell? I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance. |

This is a "no brainer" for me....with no disrespect, the latter music, although of course professionally done, is so repetitive of itself. Belew is quite talented, and thank goodness his input has made it possible for KC to continue in a different light - but, the early King Crimson, is (IMHO) King Crimson.

I love the Belew era very much, but the 1969-1974 era can not be beaten.

Would you like some Bailey's? |

| The result of this poll was set before it was made. I go for the first era too, without a doubt. Perhaps it could have been further divided as: The Sinfield era, the Wetton era, the 80's era, the double trio, and the Projekts/Power to believe era. |

| I don't think this is a fair question, since there are more than two distinct eras of KC. |

I know, there was no King Crimson in 1980. 1981, on the other hand, is a different story  |

the first option, naturally ------------- "when routine bites hard and ambitions are low, and resentment rides high but emotions won´t grow And we´re changing our ways, taking different roads.. Then love, love will tear us apart again.." |

Yes, I made an error  . Probably I have not listened to Discipline often enough to note when it was exactly recorded... So I mean 1981 to present. |

The 70s era was unique.
