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.

STARLESS AND

ConstruKction and Power are ass. THRAK is decent.

Pretentious garbage that only pseuds like. Even Lizard is better

KC is Yea Forums Core and fathers of prog.

Thus being said I consider much of his works after the court being plain deranged, too much experimental journeys from Fripp that end up sort of in the same denominator of Emerson/Lake and Palmer just as Greg actually do some songs in KC (Me considering being the best songs or among the best) it's also true they go in that way of almost unlistenable pieces in many albums but what happens is KC always have at least one single in every album so you can say all albums have their songs and also their unlistenable stuff or just plain deranged music as I recall, I have a lot of respect for Fripp just as much but yeah most of the songs after the ITCOKC album sometimes miss the real structure that gives prog a bit of order and end up in something really difficult to understand just as it happens with later albums of Emerson, Lake and Palmer for the same reason they go pretty much fat and mad yet Fripp didn't but still he experimented 2much4me.

Power to Believe is underrated kino. THRAK is okay. ConstrucKtion is garbage

if you're a grey 70 year old man, yeah

Discipline > Islands > Larks > Red > Starless > Court

KC is not even that challenging as far as experimentation goes. Come on you two, its entry level prog, expand your music paletes.

Goddamn how fucking basic are you

VROOOM VROOOM (2001)

Court >> Red > Larks = Islands > Lizard > Starless and Bible Black > Discipline

I have listened to this album dozens of times due to all the memeing on Yea Forums and it never ever clicked for me, except for maybe Book of Saturday. Despite that, i really enjoy all of the other well-aclaimed KC albums.
What is it that you fags find so great about larks? I legit want to know, i can't get it.

larks, starless and bible black, and red were where they wrote their best stuff

Islands is best, Larks' second
