King Crimson - ITCOTCK

Those three are the best choices from the top of my head. Nothing else posted in this thread so far was worthy of the best progressive rock album title.

>>61279902
Great album, but not really Prog Rock. King Crimson's third best, but it's probably going to become my favorite next time I listen to it (it's 5th by now)

Not appreciating Moonchild is the surest mark of the plebeian, it is artfulness in the otherwise base musical framework of rock freed from its simplistic negro rhythms to paint an abstract masterwork of musique concrete.

Obviously there are other legitimate choices. Aqualung and Animals aren't even the best albums by their respective artists.

>>61283427
Thick as a Brick and Close to the Edge both spring to mind. Maybe some Genesis albums (I'm partial to Foxtrot, but I'm aware that wouldn't be most people's first choice).

Because of confirmation bias and prejudice.

>>61283761
Thick as a Brick doesn't really convince me.
Close to the Edge might be, but only if you consider Symphonic Prog (and it's still on par with Per Un Amico).
Can't talk for Genesis because I'm not a fan of them yet.

2. Close to the Edge
3. Larks' Tongues in Aspic
4. Foxtrot
5. Thick as a Brick
>>
>>61284099

Red is overrated, but otherwise that's not a terrible list.

>>61284140
No seriously, why?
>>
>>61284177
Red isn't overrated it deserves the praise it gets.
The title track and Starless are among the best things they did
>>
>>61284243
Starless > Fallen Angel > Providence > One More Red Nightmare > Red
>>
>>61284243
Starless is their best track, but the rest of the album is inferior to ITCOTCK, in my opinion. I understand why other people like it so much though.
>>
>>61283792
>Can't talk for Genesis because I'm not a fan of them yet.
for somebody that tried so hard to make a persona out of liking prog you sure dont know a lot about it
>>
>>61284298
>Red last
Starless>Red>Fallen Angel>Providence>One More Red Nightmare
One More Red Nightmare would be better without the fucking handclaps
>>
>>61284243
This is exactly why the album is overrated. Red and Starless are amazing, but the rest of the album can't compare. ITCOTCK maintains the same consistency throughout
>>
>>61284380
I find Red too damn repetitive, that's why I put it last
>>
>>61284130
Red is great, but not Prog

>>61284343
I have listened to all their "classic" albums, but I haven't been able to like them that much.
>>
>>61281165
>SSTB
>Prog
Still a good album tho.

I'll give you IKSSE3 though.
>>
>>61284387
The last two tracks of ITCOCK are weaker in my honest opinion
whereas Red maintains consistency and finally goes down swinging with Starless
>>61284411
The repetition is probably my favourite part
>>61284433
strange how you can put Red in your essential prog albums chart listed as "heavy prog"

I have listened to every album at least once, and most of them more than once. Red wasn't the case anyways.

This is the correct answer when the golden era of progressive-rock peaked. No band ever topped their innovative sound and the way they married Classical, Jazz and Rock so perfectly well.
>>
>>61285035
You can hardly say that ITCOTCK was released during the golden Era of prog. The real golden age started at least a couple years later.
