Epitaph is one of the greatest songs of all time, easy.

It’s interesting no one mentioned, the beautiful, “I Talk to the Wind”, especially since it was one of the first songs King Crimson did (as Giles, Giles & Fripp, with Judy Dyble on vocals).

It's great but I don't get the argument why the first has to be the best

"Starless" is my favorite by quite a bit, probably my favorite song ever. Crimson has so much good stuff though I can see someone loving Larks and Epitaph the same.

In the Wake of Poseidon is an overlooked album. It still had Greg Lake. I wore out that 8-track.

Right, Lake sang some songs on Poseidon. I don't think he played bass on any of it, though.

Peace - A Theme is an incredibly beautiful guitar song

Phenomenal top ten Pete! Struggled with this myself. Here goes 1. Epitaph 2. Starless 3. The court of the Crimson King 4. Fallen Angel 5. I talk to the wind 6. 21st century schizoid man 7. Lizard 8. Fracture 9. I talk to the wind 10. Devil's Triangle Honorable mentions Book of Saturday One more red nightmare Moonchild Larks tongue in aspic 2 Circus

My number one probably is “in the court of the crimson king “ When I heard it for the first time on the radio... things never been the same! When I was a little girl I listened classical music and the Beatles, In the court ,for me, was a perfect combination of the two...🥰

Starless

I love Easy Money. The version contained in the USA album (just purchased the 40th anniversary edition) which is combined with an improv is IMHO the zenith of any version of this group. If I ever go to Jersey, I will definitely stop in Asbury Park and listen to this album with my headphones inside of what remains of the Casino where this concert took place on June 28, 1974.

I can't make a list but i will say that Starless is probably one of the best songs ever made. Nothing in the prog-rock genre (except maybe The Musical Box by Genesis) has topped what Starless has achieved!

My Top Ten 10. Pictures of a City 9. Red 7. Lizard 6. 21st-century schizoid Man 5. Epitaph 4. Fracture 3. In The Court of the Crimson King 2. Larks’ Tongues in Aspic Part 1 and 2 1. Starless

The Night Watch, not only in my top 10 King Crimson list but my all time top ten any band list. I absolutely adore that song. Stunning in its construction, lyrics, guitar, John Wetton’s voice everything about it really. 😍

Digging the T-shirt Pete. You know Robert Fripp admired Robin Trower very much as a player, they toured the states together.

It's not representative of the rest of their work, but "Prelude / Song of the Gulls" blows me away.

Great choice. I agree about Larks Tongues. The dynamic range and sheer extent of instrumentation takes the breath away.

My top three King Crimson tracks are The Devil's Triangle, Sailor's Tales and Starless

On a huge king crimson dive rn. One of my top 3 songs from them, trio, is straight up the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

Woo! That was a lot tougher than I thought it would be. My first KC album was the 1976 A Young Person's Guide to King Crimson on cassette and I played that thing to DEATH(well, until I put it onto mini disc).

1. I Talk to the Wind 2. Fracture 3. Cirkus 4. Formentera Lady 5. Happy with What You Have to Be Happy With

Further raving- King Crimson are at SPAC August 23 2021! Will you be attending? If so,I hope to give you a wave! My big news: Live nation was giving me trouble so I contacted Fripp and he in true King Crimson fashion gifted me with two tickets! He said go to the SPAC box office and tell them I'm Dale Haskell and two tickets with be presented to my hot little hands! It probably doesn't put Fripp out to have me and a pal on the guest list but still very kind of the man! It more than one would hope for. I've been in touch with Fripp and Toyah during lockdown so perhaps they thought,"Hey,let's gift the man with some comp passes. After all,he's a true Crim-Head and has all the swag-EVERY box set,collector's club,been a fan since he was 12!!!!!! Let's be nice to him! the only thing better,Pete was if you were to read this on the podcast and mention my buddy Keith Fotheringham,another true devotee of all things CRIM!!!!!! Many thinks!

I honestly don't know more than a couple of King Crimson songs, sadly enough, but now I really need to check them out. I only ever had their debut, and I really only ever played "21st Century Schizoid Man" and "In The Court Of The Crimson King." I've heard "Elephant Talk" but it was only that one time when they were the Musical Guest on the TV sketch show "Fridays" (in 1981, I think). Definitely need to check them out a bit soon. You know, in baby steps, which is how I have to do it.

Great list, thank you. Red ominous indeed, downright scary to listen to, when I heard it at 14.

Mine is- 1) Starless 2) Construction of light 3) Talking drum and Lars Tongue Aspic 2 4) 21st century 5) Letters 6)FracKture 7)Frame by frame 8)In the court of Crimson king 9) Indiscipline 10)Moonchild

Amen to all of those. Although my knowledge of Gary Moore is in his Hard Rock/Heavy Metal output in the 80's. I really should check-out his 90's Blues stuff, though. I remember when those albums came-out, but none of those songs ever got any kind of radio airplay, and I wasn't brave enough to just buy them, sound-unheard.

Great list. Starless #1 for me. I found I was anxious about Matte Kudesai being in your list as I never got on with that song. Relief.

For now my top 10 favorites are the following which is consistent with me top 3 favorite albums which are Larks Tongue in Aspics, Red and Islands, though I am also really fond of the title track for Court of the Crimson KIng and Cirkus from Lizard: Starless, Larks Tongue in Aspics I, Fallen Angel, Court of the Crimson King, Sailor's Tale, Exiles, Formentera Lady, Cirkus, Larks Tongue in Aspics 2, One More Red Nightmare

The way Bruford used that splash cymbal in One more Red Nightmare.Stellar!

High flying Chinese trender, said "me no surrender".... I love Ladies of the Road & that band in particular- Mel Collins, Boz, Fripp, Ian Wallace & Pete Sinfield were/are vastly overlooked in any & all talk of King Crimson. A shame they were so short lived...

Hard to say exactly which of these songs are my favorite, but, in no particular order: 1. The Great Deceiver 2. Sartori In Tangier (live version, 1984, on the For Absent Lovers live album, last performance 1981-1984 band) 3. 4 i 1 - the first track off the ProjeKcts 1: Live At the Jazz Cafe album in 1997 4. Starless 5. Epitaph 6. Larks Tongues In Aspic Part 2 7. Red 8. In The Court of The Crimson King 9. Indiscipline (especially live versions) 10. Level Five

Starless (of course) Larks' Tongues title track (1&2)

What is happening here Peter is that the new generation is moving onward. We absolutely appreciate all of the older Crimson. Friggan amazing musicianship. Really. What it happening is a new birth. Belew is actually what Zappa said. A new progressiveness in guitar world. I am just now starting to figure out this guy. He did really invent a new way of playing the guitar. We went through the social media world of playing guitar that is thankfully fading away. Belew and others were paving a new way for musicians alike. Stop playing the standards and do weird things. It is okay. This 80's King Crimson and the 3 albums are just as amazing as the 1970's. We love the 1970's King Crimson but there is something to the new generation and rebirth of the early 1980's. Frame by Frame is quite the piece.
