Friday13th: 20 Favorite King Crimson Songs

Friday13th 10.15.13	Don't get why the album art doesn't work for Larks' Tongues in Aspic :(
Gwyn. 10.15.13	3 and 5 gj
MikeC26 10.15.13	great ranking
RogueNine 10.15.13	TAAAALK IT'S OOOONLY TALK
Friday13th 10.15.13	"These are words with a 'D' this time!" lol
wanderlust 10.15.13	1 is 1
Friday13th 10.15.13	@wanderlust thank you my life is now validated
berlin1973 10.15.13	Red is a very good album but it's a little bit overrated... I do like it but the first albums are the first (Islands is not that good, though): I would have put more songs from "In the wake of Poseidon"...
berlin1973 10.15.13	yep... 7 must be higher [2]
Gard3n 10.15.13	13 must be much higher.
berlin1973 10.15.13	13 is probably in my top 3
sumyunguy 10.15.13	11 is 1
Chortles 10.15.13	Great choices, missing matte kudesai though
Muisc4Life26 10.15.13	Awesome list! 3 is my favorite.
JaySpiral 10.16.13	I wish Lizard would have stuck with the theme in the first section. The first section has such a great chorus and the rest is just boring.
menawati 10.16.13	nice list Give a listen to the version of Larks IV on the Happy With What You Have EP it'll be in your top 10 its frippin' brutal
Gard3n 10.16.13	"I wish Lizard would have stuck with the theme in the first section. The first section has such a great chorus and the rest is just boring." No way. "Lizard" is perfect, every part of it is...
tommygun 10.16.13	cool
Jethro42 10.16.13	Very nice list mine would include Pictures of a City Indiscipline Startori in Tangier Waiting Man
menawati 10.16.13	yeh tangier is awesome
Friday13th 10.16.13	Tangier? Which album is that from? I've only heard up to Discipline.
LittleStranger 10.16.13	2 is 1
LittleStranger 10.16.13	13 could also be 1
wacknizzle 10.16.13	Good list, glad you took a little bit from each album. 7 is a bit low though, that song is so fucking good
Yazz_Flute 10.16.13	I'd include The Talking Drum, Indoor Games, The Sheltering Sky, and Matte Kudesai at least. Starless is definitely my number 1 though.
Friday13th 10.16.13	@Yazz_Flute yeah dude good tunes those were in the running.
GnarlyShillelagh 10.16.13	1 is 1 agreed is the title song on "starless and bible black" just named after 1 or is it like the same song
Polyethylene 10.16.13	No Formentera Lady or Sailor's Tale, no cigar
TronaldDump 10.16.13	List is missing The Night Watch. But 1 is definitely 1 and 3 is definitely 3.
JamieTwort 10.16.13	List needs more songs from In the Wake of Poseidon. The title-track and Pictures of a City are easily up there with my favourite KC songs. Cadence and Cascade is one of the weaker tracks on that album imo, still great though. 1 and 3 are my favourites. 1 is definitely 1.
Realm 10.16.13	jammin starless right now damn p hard to rank since crims has like 4 classic albums
Friday13th 10.16.13	@GnarlyShillelagh "Starless" was originally called "Starless and Bible Black" but Robert Fripp didn't like the original version so they just gave that name to an instrumental now known as the title track. They finally fixed it up after SABB was released so they just named it "Starless."
Friday13th 10.16.13	@JamieTwort yeah "Pictures of a City" is good, but I can't listen to "In the Wake of Poseidon" without thinking it's a sorry clone of "Epitaph."
mindleviticus 10.16.13	MOONCHILD
JamieTwort 10.16.13	^lol
JamieTwort 10.16.13	"I can't listen to "In the Wake of Poseidon" without thinking it's a sorry clone of "Epitaph." In my opinion it's still a quality song despite it's similarities to Epitaph (which seem to be exaggerated by some). I'd still rank it in my top 10.
Nagrarok 10.16.13	The Devil's Triangle is one of Poseidon's highlights as well. Enjoy it more than both Moonchild and Providence.
JamieTwort 10.16.13	^Yeah that song's probably my third favourite on ITWOP, definitely one of their better improv tracks.
Emyay 10.16.13	gonna jam 1 and see if it lives up to the hype
Realm 10.16.13	cat food
Emyay 10.16.13	after a couple listens of both, i like 7 better than 1
MeatSalad 10.16.13	blasphemy
Emyay 10.16.13	i mean, take what i say with a grain of salt. i'm a complete kc rookie
MeatSalad 10.16.13	You need to listen to red as a whole album man
Emyay 10.16.13	will do
TronaldDump 10.16.13	Cirkus never gets any love :(
ButteryBiscuitBass 10.17.13	Cirkus gets all my love
theTourist 10.17.13	Awesome list. I'm also a big fan of Matte Kudasai, though it doesn't sound much like the rest of their music.
Havey 10.21.13	needs providence but sweet
McMegaMountain 10.21.13	Thanks for posting this. I've been meaning to pick up Court for years. Think I'll do that today.
Friday13th 10.22.13	@McMegaMountain yeah dude by all means. Get Red also if you find it, but these Crimson albums are hard to get.
zoso33 10.22.13	i love me some good king crimson lists...so many good songs to hear
JamieTwort 10.22.13	"these Crimson albums are hard to get." lol hardly, although I suppose it depends on where you are.
Friday13th 10.22.13	@JamieTwort I know only one used CD store in my town of about half a million that has some King Crimson. Of course there's the ebay solution :)
apert 10.22.13	listening to Starless right now
JamieTwort 10.22.13	@Firday13th: Fair enough. Where I live KC are one of the few prog bands I can find in pretty much any CD store. Plus their albums are easy to get (and fairly cheap) on Amazon.
