Absolutely fell head over heels with this earlier in the year, and its high finish on #Top20BookendAlbums made me revisit it this afternoon in the garden with a ginger ale or three.

20: Red & Starless. I was fairly confident keeping this one a lock as my final pick of the challenge. King Crimson has so many iterations and evolutions of brilliance, but this is their greatest achievement in my opinion.
