I have Court of the Crimson King, In the Wake of Poseidon, Lizard and Islands. I really enjoyed Lizard (which is my personal favourite) and "Court" as well, which comes in a fairly close second. I was somewhat dissapointed with "Poseidon" and Islands, but they were still pretty good. I'm, also a big fan of Pink Floyd, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Yes, Frank Zappa, Harmonium and more. From the bands you listed, I would recommend to try out Emerson Lake and Palmer (ELP), Harmonium, Genesis, and Return to Forever next (especially ELP.)
Prog is one of my favourite genres. Rivaled only by the Indie/Garage genre. I'm becoming a big King Crimson fan (I have four of their CDs, In The Court Of The Crimson King, In The Wake Of Poseidon, Lizard, and Larks' Tongue In Aspic), I'm also a fan of Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd, Ayreon, Tool, The Mars Volta, dredg, Jethro Tull, Coheed And Cambria, The Prize Fighter Inferno, The Sound Of Animals Fighting, and I'm currently checking out Queensr˙che. So yeah, I'm a prog fan like yourself. Lizard isn't my favourite Crimson album to be frank, but (like everything else Crimson has done in my experience) it is still gold. Thanks a lot for the link, I'll definitely make use out of it.
So you like King Crimson's Lizard, do you? Then you deserve a usernote from me. I'm a heavy duty prog rock fan; I've spent hundreds on my collection and I'm forever buying more to augment it. You may have already seen me link to this site, but in case you haven't, it's really a great reference for prog fans: Here it is. I've set the link on King Crimson right now, but if you use the search you can get extensive info on any prog rock band in existence, from new bands like Tool to old classic groups like Emerson, Lake and Palmer and Pink Floyd.
