All of these are on an even keel for me. I would vote for the Hopper/Gowen collaboration Two Rainbows Daily, had it been in the list. The ultimate, Canterbury bliss-fest.

ITLOGAP, easily. The first side is utterly amazing.

And If I Could do it Again etc would be 2nd and For Girls Who Go Plump in the Night would be the 3rd best Canterbury album.

If you put a better Caravan album it would take it, instead I'll go for Egg over Hatfield

All of these are special but Quiet Sun's Mainstream is extra-special.
What?

Too tough to actually vote...
 
So I went for Third as to save it the dishonour of being the only choice with one vote... at least now, it's tied for last spot.

Of course all of them are high quality albums and I can actually vote for at least half of them.
I can narrow it down for two albums but I can't actually decide, it's between Khan and Quiet Sun.

Third for me.

Never understood the love for In the Land of Grey and Pink, Caravan have a lot of better albums IMO.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Let me at least separate into tiers:

Tier 1 - (5+ stars and the reason I can't pick one):
Third, Rotters Club, Queues, Rock Bottom, You, Polite Force

Tier 2 - Almost but not quite a masterpiece (4 stars):  Mainstream

Tier 3 - Good but not great (3 stars):  Space Shanty, Caravan

Tier 4 - Big disappointment (2 stars):  Fish Rising

I do regret not putting in "If I Could..." and Egg and Hatfield's s/t albums in, but hey, don't put the blame on me, blame the artists for being too f**king good Thumbs Up
20+ prog bands discovered and explored in 3 years, still going strong...

I pick Third  today. I can't ignore Caravan Masterpiece " In the Land of Grey and Pink" but today is Soft Machine day for me.

Close enough to my rankings, except that I haven't heard Mainstream

Third, today.
