A landmark album, but still no higher than 4th in my KC catalog. I think this one gets an extra boost from many because of one song.

This. Like a lot of the best prog I end up laughing at the ridiculousness of it one moment then I’m genuinely impressed the next one.

As basically a prog-denier, I will admit that everyone should at least check out those two Crimson albums.

As far as I'm concerned, it's undeniable. One of the best ever to do it.

Track picks
1. 21st Century Schizoid Man (Including Mirrors)
3. Epitaph (Including March For No Reason/Tomorrow And Tomorrow)
5. The Court Of The Crimson King (Including The Return Of The Fire Witch/The Dance Of The Puppets)

As a not-big prog rock fan, this is such a great album. Holds up and gets its flowers!
