Status: offline 		I'm a pretty big fan myself. I like Red. Mainly for the Wetton vocals. Plus it has a certain heavy metal/prog rock sparseness that I like.

I don't care for the recent trend in putting out endless live material. While live CDs spotlight improvisational virtuosity, I prefer the more considered approach of studio albums. And King Crimson is the thinking man's prog rock band.

I've met the band backstage before, and while Fripp was notably absent (of course! Dick!) Adrian Belew was very affable and talkative. All the band members were great actually.

In concert Fripp played with his back to the audience on a giant high chair. Did I mention he was a total dick?

Status: offline 		Well it would have been easier with a top three poll, there are things to recommend in each incarnation of the band. Starless and Red are great for the Bruford / Wetton rhythm section. I voted tor Discipline because if I could only have one... (The opening to Elephant Talk is the clincher.)

Now Shug, don't be cruel to Robert. He's the wizzard, the hermit and the piece of grit on which the snowflake forms. It's not his job to be the nice guy.

I once saw Pat Robertson include King Crimson in his list of satanic music groups.lol

I voted for Red as well. I don't like all of the album, but the half that works is probably my favorite half of a rock album of all time.

I like the Larks' Tongue In Aspic/Starless and Bible Black/Red era the best ... power chords!
