That's why I voted for Starless.

Court of the Crimson King is great... a classic, I guess... Not quite edgy enough to do what the two above do for me....
Thrak also has some really cool songs.
Can't say any of their other albums have particularly captivated me.

few bands truly progress. i can't think of any others that made it thirty some years and did not become stagnant. these guys are just amazing. i will be quite pleased if the volta can have the same career. they are certainly on their way.

Lizard and Islands are heavy underrated. I think Red is a weak link in their discography.
true.
i voted islands. i love that record.
i agree with you on red too but one more red nightmare is a great song though.

version 1.0 (court - islands)
poseidon.
that shit rocks. hard. criminally underrated
2.0 (larks - red)
red.
starless. fuck the world
3.0 (discipline - three)
discipline.
those interlocking guitars put me in some kind of trance
4.0 (thrak - believe)
i only have thrak and can't wait to hear the other two
what are y'alls picks as such? this poll is too limiting.
i swear, when i listen to crimson, the volta or earth, i feel like my third eye is opening. wish more music had that power.

sorry but all i wanna do any more is talk about crimson. was listening to poseidon today, and i'm not so sure that i can definitively pick a favorite record. they seem to be broken up into four eras, and i can def pick a fave from each.

interesting..
1.0 Lizard (although i'm not particularly fond of "lady of the dancing water", i like the change in formula from the first two albums.. and the guitars in cirkus are fucking killer)
2.0 Starless and Bible Black (I'm surprised they didn't just release this as a live album due to the fact that most the songs are just live jams... probably because fripp wanted "fracture" to be perfect. and it is.)
3.0 Beat (though i don't love "heartbeat" and "two hands", tracks like "neurotica", and "requiem" still blow my mind every time I listen to them. i would've picked discipline but "the sheltering sky" eats up too much of that album for my taste.. they could have cut 4 minutes off of it easily and added an 8th track.. but to each his own)
4.0 The ConstruKction of Light (although i miss bruford and levin, I have to give it up for fripps guitar work on this album because it's fucking genius)

i could listen to just sheltering sky on repeat for an hour in the right frame of mind. discipline established a new musical language for them. and the fucking drums on fucking indiscipline
i am really starting to believe they are the best. band. ever. fuck the beatles. fuck led zep. fuck faith no more. fuck the mars volta. long live the crimson king. really hope they awaken from their slumber once again.

You really can't argue with this. One of the very best songs that I know!

beat is another of their records that gets an unjustified bad rap. it is different, more of a pop record for sure, but it fills a certain need. kinda the octahedron of their discography. i do love it like i love all their stuff. neurotica and requiem are as great as anything in their canon for sure.

last i heard they got gavin harrison from porcupine tree for a second drummer. but who knows if they're writing or not... but robert fripp's not dead yet so who knows what is to come...
