what makes Lark's your favorite?

[DrGonzoOBoogie]

@aidange2 I love how heavy and dark it is, but its also a really well written album and I just love how it goes. And The jazzy and funky rhythm section just make all the songs flow real well and sound so cool. I really just love the album the whole idea and sound of it, it was a great time for the band.Red followes a real close 2nd.

@grevejp44 I know! I think it may be a bit too heavy for for the fans of the old stuff though.

1: Power To Believe 2: Construkction of Light 3:Thrak 4: Red 5: three Of A Perfect Pair 6:In The Court of the Crimson King 7:Discipline 8:Lark's Tongue 9:Beat 10.Islands 11:Starless and Bible Black 12:Lizard 13: In the Wake Poop. It's funny how two Crim-heads can completely disagree.

I wouldn't even attempt to rank them. In my mind, I divide KC into four phases, based on their studio albums, and even that is an oversimplification. My four divisions are:

KC 1 - 1969-1971:

Court, Wake, Lizard, Islands

KC 2 - 1973-1974:

Larks', Starless, Red

KC 3 - 1981-1984:

Discipline, Beat, Perfect Pair

KC 4 - 1995-2003 (so far):

Thrak, ConstruKction, Power

I like something about all of them. I just find them too diverse to rank. THE BEST is the one I want to hear right now!

@grevejp44 Owait. I just listened to Beat, and it turns out I was thinking of Two Hands. Blech.

[darkalleyheroes]

@grevejp44 Well, we're talking about KC here. You could take their worst song and it would still be tremendously over most people's heads.

[grevejp44]

@darkalleyheroes also reqium is cool

[grevejp44]

@darkalleyheroes i disagree with heart beat being cheesy cause the backwards guitar in it is awesome. i also like how construktion has two guitars going back and forth.

[darkalleyheroes]

@grevejp44 Heart beat is so cheesy!! Neal and Jack and me is fantastic though. ConstruKtion of light the SONG is awesome, but I was pretty dissapointed by the song as a whole.

[grevejp44]

@darkalleyheroes beat isn't bad but i tend to only listen to heart beat and neil and jack and me.

i still think the guitar part for the constukction of light and prozack blues is awesome.

[darkalleyheroes]

I agree with the guy below me, I listen to their latest two albums a lot (but I still listen to Beat the most).
