I'm honestly blown away that In the Court of the Crimson King hasn't made a single list other than mine since the revival of this thread.

I've gone and made a separate list for my favorites in electronic music only:

I was too lazy to upload my own cover for King Crimson. I tried to limit it to one or two per artist, so I probably would have put Discipline, Lark's Tongue in Aspic, and even a couple others before that one anyways (even though ITCOTCK is amazing).

I have yet to make a full project that I can thoroughly enjoy.

I think that around 1/3 of my discography is five star material that I'll be listening to for the rest of my life.

We got around the same ratio then.

Time is the most adorable and amazing album ever. I can't listen to it without smiling and singing along to every song. I mean, what's not to love? It's got time travel, space, love, robot sex, heavy pop songs with thick beats that are guaranteed to be stuck in your head for days, cheesy ballads that demand to be sung along to when you're either alone or too happy/drunk to care if anyone is listening, and even an instrumental that sounds like it should the background music of a level in Donkey Kong Country. Plus, the overarching story is so fun and romantic, simple yet effective, that it makes for a great mental movie to watch as the album goes on.

The first version of it that I heard was a CD with the bonus tracks The Bouncer, When Time Stood Still, and Julie Don't Live Here, and that's the version that's on my list. They fit the other songs perfectly, and I can't imagine the album without them. I've even come up with ways for them to fit in with the other songs storywise, 'cause I'm a weirdo. :laughing:

Ha ha, yeah, I figured you wouldn't be too surprised by my choices. I miss plugging with you man, those were some good times.

I don't have time to upload images, so this is missing a number of flamenco singers and king crimson as others have lamented in their top 50

The enthusiasm in this post >>>

Makes me want to listen to the album.

EDIT: OK the album is sick.

I've got some stuff in common with you tbh didn't realise you were such a big fan of Kate Bush.

Also, I'm glad you liked Time. :beer:
