What was their best music? I've only listened to the first album and enjoyed it. I found the rest kind of strange and not quite as good as the first.

Red is their best for me but I am a huge fan of metal as well as jazz so I feel like it is very suited to my tastes
Court and Red are the only good albums they got. Everything else is too spastic and not cohesive sounding at all.
Have you listened to In The Wake of Poseidon? It's very similar to ITOTCK if you only liked that
Red, Larks and ITOTCK are usually viewed as their best
Red is easily their best album, its a great fusion between haunting rock and jazz.
ITCOTCK*
You can't go wrong with Lark's Tongues in Aspic and Red. Discipline is nice too. Honestly, In the Wake of Poseidon, Islands and Lizard have some cool moments on them too, they're just not as consistent. Didn't care for Starless and Bible Black.
My recommendations are:
1. ITCOTCK
2. Red
3. Larks' Tongues in Aspic
Larks' Tongues in Aspic > Red > Discipline > In the Court of the Crimson King [math]\geq[/math] Starless and Bible Black
If you're curious about their live work, then The Great Deceiver (a 4-disc, 5-hour-long live album) is their greatest album, and Absent Lovers is between Red and Discipline.
If ya like new wave then listen to discipline.
