RUSH: 80. The interplay between Lifeson and Peart is compelling, and I'm grateful for the lack of Geddy Lee vocals. In general, though I don't know Rush very well, I usually find them overbaked, like a soufle left five minutes too long in the oven.

KING CRIMSON: 98. I grew up on this track. Listening to it now, it sounds as fresh as ever, which is more than I can say for myself. Imo, the mellotron on Starless is better than the one here. But who's counting?
