I find Lizard to be rather dull and tiresome and I can't stand Red. Seriously, why "Starless" receives the universal praise that it does it beyond my understanding.
Robert Fripp does have an awesome tone, though.

King Crimson are highly lauded by a lot of people mostly because they're fairly influential on a lot of experimental bands that got started in the late 70's and the 80's. That, and
Discipline was an excellent prog. rock/New Wave hybrid record that has stood the test of time incredibly well.
