I liek what I have heard from King Crimson, but TBH, have only heard stuff from Youtube, so I don't really know where to begin when it comes to their albums?

MQ- Which KC album would you recommend for someone new to them?

MQ2- Could you list KC's albums in Order from favorite to Least?

MQ3- Single favorite KC track?
**gee Mar.. I don't think it lists the albums in order of fan preference on wikipedia, so that would not be too helpful, now would it? Thanks for playing, you are not a winner, please try again!

MQ: Probably In the Court of the Crimson King is the best one to start with. Although the tracklist on it isn't as flawless as some of their other albums (some people don't like Moonchild), it has at least three of their best songs in just 5 songs. (My three favorites on it are 21CSM, I Talk to the Wind, and Epitaph but everybody will have a different favorite three)

MQ2:
1. In the Court of the Crimson King
2. In the Wake of Poseidon
3. Lizard
4. Beat
5. Islands
6. The Power to Believe
7. Larks Tongues in Aspic
8. Starless and Bible Black
9. Discipline
10. The ConstruKction of Light
11. Thrak
12. Three of a Perfect Pair (I'll admit I haven't really paid attention to this album.)
13. Red

As you can see with the massive differences between me and Karl's list, they haven't made an album that everybody can agree is one of their best or one of the worst.

MQ3: It's either 21st Century Schizoid Man, Indiscipline, or Waiting Man depending on other things.

@Wire & String: I forgot Cat Food. That might be my favorite of theirs too :O And Cirkus. It's between those 5.
