Either Lizard or H to He, with Yeti close behind (actually listening to it at the moment). Going to think it over a bit. -------------  |

Tough call between Lizard and Benefit. Went for Tull because I expect no one else to.

Some all-time favorites there: Lizard H to He Yeti If I Could... AHM I've been in a Caravan mood lately, so they get my vote. |

Lizard for me. It's been one of my fave albums since I dropped the needle on Cirkus 36 years ago  ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

Agreed. Have you ever heard the super slow version they performed on the '71 & '72 Boz/Mel/Ian/RF tours? It runs over 9 minutes long and has an incredibly evil vibe  It appears on the King Crimson Collectors Club discs "Live in Detroit" & "Live at Jacksonville". ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

Trespass, followed by ELP, Caravan and Floyd. Not keen on the rest. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Atom Heart Mother It's the only one out of these that I've given 5 stars, but everything else is still really good.

Trespass is a much better album than nursery cryme ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock. |

Nice version
 . I missed Fripp's magical acoustic guitar, though. |
Posted By: The.Crimson.King
Date Posted: August 17 2013 at 01:24
I hear you...Fripp's acoustic work mixed with the heavy tron makes for a stunning combination. ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

I voted for the one with the muuhh, but in all honesty - I could just as well have picked Yeti or Lizard.
