Favorite song from Court of the Crimson King

I want to see what the favorite song from each album is. Yeah this had been done before but taste change over time and this would be a window into NOW, REALITY is based on only now! So get with it and be in the Now!

I Talk To The Wind has an ethereal quality that never fails to calm.

I said all that bop about the now and so on and still vote for 21st Century Schizoid Man! The same pick I had 40 years ago pretty boring and stagnant.

I agree Talk to the Wind has aged the best of the tunes on this album... But I'd still love to hear the beast blast out 21st Century Schizoid Man. That reminds me I get to see P@ the beast with Stick men in about two week the same week as NAMM shit should I go to NAMM this year?

I have no desire to see the new crim play I talk to the wind. I love that piece but its not a concert piece in my mind. I would definitely rather see 21st or Court of the Crimson king

I agree the poll is not what songs would you like to hear Crimson play it's favorite KC song NOW. And I think "I Talk to the Wind" is a good choice" most of the other numbers are dated. Sorry for tainting my own poll. Court of the Crimson King gets a lot of air time (hell Coast AM uses it for bumper music) I think it's dated and I still like it....

King Crimson getting airplay! you wont hear Kc from any era in my neck of the woods at all. Court is also a Fav Kc tune.

The Court of the Crimson King (including "The Return of the Fire Witch" and "The Dance of the Puppets" is definitely my favorite song from the first album. It's THE song that made me a KC fan to start, and then got me reconnected to KC again, with the same song. I love everything about it, and at the time, had nothing heard anything quite like it.

I'll be frank (really me), and say I have never been a big fan of 21st CSM, which I know is like a religious thing with most Crimheads. Compared to the other material, especially "Epitaph" and my own choice, it's still fun and I enjoy it, but it's certainly never been a favorite of mine, from that album. The one exception is the live performance on "Earthbound", which definitely kicks major league ass.
