https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Court_of_the_Crimson_King

Golf's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! One of prog-rock's cornerstones. Loses a little momentum due to excessive noodling during 'Moonchild', but restores itself to glory with 'The Court of the Crimson King'.

Máire's verdict: Rubbish (apart from the last track which was great).

Golf's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! Early Genesis' highest achievement. I finally even managed to get Máire to admit it's a classic. Been trying that for about 15 years!

Máire's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! I’m still adamant that Phil Collins was a better frontman but this is a classic for a reason.

Golf's verdict: About the tenth ex-Wu Tang Clan member to have an album on the list. This is perfectly enjoyable, but not particularly memorable.

Máire's verdict: Fine but won’t be rushing to listen to it again.

Golf's verdict: Dear me, this really very annoying. His approach to C&W is almost like a Fast Show comedy sketch. 

Máire's verdict: He’s got a REALLY irritating voice. Hated this album.

Golf's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! Arguably the best of Mozza's post-Smiths output with a very high proportion of real classics with exactly the sort of pithy lyric he was once so famous for (and which judging from his latest effort he has sadly lost the knack for.)

Máire's verdict: HIDDEN GEM! The best solo album he’s done in my opinion. Love it.
