No no no.
In Court of the Crimson King is one of their worst, it was obvious that Robert Fripp didn't really have his ideas and visions concentrated at that point in time. The only good track is the first one. Yet it's one of the first prog albums so it's considered the greatest ever for some reason. In The Wake of Poseidon was pretty bad also, so was Islands.
Now 1974 was when the Crimson REALLY took off, Red is absolutely astounding and so is Larks Tongue In Aspic, another innovative masterpiece.
Leaving the 70's for a moment, King Crimson had a string of awesome albums throughout the 80s, while Beat isn't great, Three of a Perfect Pair is neat and Discipline is another masterpiece. THRAK and it's accompanying EP is good 90's Crimson and The Power To Believe is awesome Crimson from this decade so you are wrong.
Sorry, I am a fanboy. King Crimson have a stronger catalogue than Sonic Youth but I still prefer SY.
