[Phylactery]

Never knew you were a big King Crimson fan!

Never knew you were a big King Crimson fan!

I'm not a big King Crimson fan so much as I'm a big "In the Court of the Crimson King" and "Red" fan.

I'm not a big King Crimson fan so much as I'm a big "In the Court of the Crimson King" and "Red" fan.

I'm in this basket too. Although I also put Lizard nearly on par with those two albums as well. Specifically Steven Wilson's remastered version because it fixed many of the sound quality issues of the original.

 

[The Ozzman]

I prefer the Belew era KC

Had no clue there was another Elend fan here. They never made a bad album.

the umbersun might be my all-time favourite album, and the sophomore is close as well (in a clumsy from the lost years kinda way). great band in general, the only album i never got into was the last one.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]
