All songs in Red, except for Starless are way longer than they should, so ITC
Daniel Jackson
Red is a far better album. If you remove historical and cultural significance, ITCOTCK is their third worst album. However, if you went back in time and you could only save one, it would be ITCOTCK. Red didn't really change anything. The other is either the first or second most foundational album for the entire prog genre.
Jackson Lopez
Red did invent post rock
Ryder Murphy
Bottoming feels better idc whst you chuds say
Logan Kelly
Larks' Tongues invented post-rock. There is no Godspeed without Lark's Tongues Part II.
Matthew Torres
Lark's invented prog metal, there'd be no Tool without it.
Desu I think you can argue that Islands was actually where they invented post rock.
Ryan Wilson
starless is peak music
Wyatt Moore
It's so hard to tell, isn't it. aprime Crimson really was in another league
Ya know, post-rock may be largely different from progressive rock, but in terms of ethos it's prog's spiritual successor. I bet Mark Hollis would have had the creative time of his life on one of those old 70s prog imprints.
Anthony Watson
Prime Crimson*
Me and my clumsy fingers.

Discipline is so fucking good. King Crimson's entire 80's era has so many good tracks in general. it's wild that they came back with some new wave pop art bullshit and actually managed to sound good. they basically invented math rock and by extension mathcore.
Christopher Edwards
It's true tho not really every prog act can be called the progenitor of post-rock. I'd say Genesis and King Crimson mostly. Jazz fusion also has an important influence. Obviously it's more of a speculation and finding similar sounding stuff, you don't really know if it had direct influence or was just ahead of it's time. More definitely post rock comes from Talk Talk and no-wave. Godspeed You crescendo stuff comes directly from Glenn Branca (and is worse much worse, I really don't like their stuff).
Mason Powell
Discipline is incredible. The title track is so fucking good, unprecedented minimalism. I also love the way the guitar sounds and that almost every song has a similar tune in it at some point which kinda all boils down in the barebones minimalistic title track. Is it an improv song tho? I always wondered.
