King Crimson - IslandsThis is a beautiful melody, which used to float through my head often.
Thanks! I thought this was the most unusual pick in my selection, given that somehow most KC fans don't think much of the entire Islands album. A couple of years ago, the song made their way onto their setlists (I think thanks to current singer Jakko Jakszyk). I still can't believe that I heard it live last year.
― Valentijn, Wednesday, 14 August 2019 18:05 (four years ago) link
Islands is great and among my favourite KC albums.

They're not engraving the 5 on your tombstone, it's just an internet message board! I just picked 5 off the top of my head, from different eras of my listening life, that I thought had a great combination of melody and lyric. I could pick another 50, the list is not definitive.
