When it comes to King Crimson on this list, I'd take Starless and Bible Black over Lark's Tongues in Aspic. As much as I like Lark's parts 1 & 2 and Talking Drum, I'll take The Great Deceiver, Lament and especially Fracture over them.
That being said, I believe Close to the Edge is what progressive rock is and that's why I voted for it. And, as much as I like King Crimson, I see Close to the Edge as the only time they've been out-progged by any other band/album. As for other album I would consider... I'd say Foxtrot, Pawn Hearts and Crime of the Century.
