I'm content for it to stay like this . Its like a badge of honour.

VERY hard choice but Awake gets my vote.

Damn... if Awake is THAT popular in this particular group, then my Jethro Tull nominee has a snowball's chance in hell in the poll with SFAM.

This is just a tragedy. I can't believe my eyes, this is Red we're talking about here!

Red? Pah! I spit on your Red! An awful album, not fit to lick the boots of any album by Marillion or DT. I'm sure it's very clever, but that doesn't make up for it sounding dreadful.

 
 Steve Johnson I am surprised at you! Red, "not fit to lick the boots of" Radiation or When Dream And Day Unite???? Simply stunning. Only Open Your Eyes can topple such an album.

It has more votes than it deserves.

Here's my confession. I don't "get" King Crimson. I've really tried to like 'em, and have to admit abject failure. Yes, I know Fripp is a genius who is admired by many brilliant musicians. Doesn't make his stuff sound good to me, though. Maybe it's just me, but as far as I'm concerned, the Emperor is butt-naked.

Albums that I would rate above Red? OYE, WDADU, Abba's Greatest Hits, er, well, practically everything I own, really. It's that weak. I would honestly much prefer to sit and listen to OYE 10 times in a row than put Red in the player. Really. It's just awful. You know by now that I'm a big classic prog fan who can appreciate a very wide range of styles, but if something is bad, I'll say so, even if it's sacrilege to many. I'm saying so now. None of Red is even acceptably good, let alone as brilliant as many say it is. Some of it is simply grotesque. Providence surely represents the low point of classic prog. A weak imitation of the worst jokes that 20th century orchestral composers could come up with. Dire.
