 Topic: Favourite Debut Canterbury Album?
Posted: November 12 2013 at 15:12 |
Looking back at the Canterbury Scene, I see that a lot of the debut albums were actually most of my favourites but I want to see what everybody's is  Personally, I can't decide between Caravan, Egg, Soft Machine, and National Health.
Keen to see what you all put!

Matching Mole is terrific too, especially the first song, 'O Caroline'.

This is difficult.
Hatfield, MM, and National Health all could get my vote.

Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect.

National Health and Steve Hillage are top notch albums! I got a soft spot for Hatfield and the North too ! I'll vote later

I'll give it to National Health. The only one of these (the ones I've heard) I don't much care for is Soft Machine's debut.

As good as most of these albums are, Hatfield's debut wipes its feet on the rest.

Agreed. Fish Rising was a big disappointment as well.

Fish Rising just over Gong. I'm not a big fan of Canterbury(other than Caravan)so the rest don't do much for me.

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

Khan for sure, the rest are amazing no doubt. Space Shanty is just a very special album to me.

I don't mind it, but I far prefer the work Hillage did with Gong

Being a Canterbury fan that's a tough chocie for me.......I love the first EGG, National Health, Khan is brilliant, Joy of A Toy is fantastic....
but Hatfield is sublime.
