 I did this two years ago when it was first posted. I think my choices may have changed a little since then.

I'd only make one minor change to my original Top 10 list: Magenta in place of Caravan at #10 - which reminds me of the totally bonkers Caravan Conkers, courtesy of the Top Gear team. What will they think of next!?? Wacko

I was just thinking I'm surprised that Caravan don't even figure in the top 20, considering how influential they were... 

Where are they Paul and with how many points?

there seems to be an insurmountable chasm between 10 and 11 for some reason. Camel would be in there for me, if they had continued with a line of stronger albums after Moonmadness.

Camel are #2 on my list and Caravan are #10, but they're trailing way behind in the overall poll results with just 35 points accrued so far, so they're not even close to making it into the Top 20, against all expectations. Confused
