Very good Chart.
Lot`s of brilliant picks.
If you like the 80`s King Crimson I recommend the live albums because I think they`ve played the songs much better live as in the studio:
"Absent Lovers: Live In Montreal 1984" or "Live At Cap D'Agde 1982" or even better the live albums of the doubletrio in the 90`s: "B´Boom" or "Vroom Vroom".
Or maybe you like to have a look on my CKrimsoVRsum Chart.
