I thought this might be an interesting topic as Caravan doesn't seem to be a widely discussed band on PA, also because I am not very familiar with them - I only have one album that I bought recently, In the Land of Grey and Pink, so it would be very good if people could give me an idea of what they did that's good and what they did that's bad (if they did anything bad). |

Ck out their page here then listen to them on you tube or elsewhere....as I said on the other thread the first 5 albums are all very good if you like the Canterbury sound., but there is some good music on the later ones also. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=613" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=613 http://www.progarchives.com/subgenre.asp?style=12" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/subgenre.asp?style=12 I would recommend Hatfield and the North and Khan(Space Shanty) to start on other Canterbury bands...but there are many good ones. Oh...have to get back on the 5 songs but I'm betting the Canterbury fans will be posting soon....

I'll add up the collective points for the Top 5 Caravan songs as we go, using my usual points system:- 1st song (6 points) 2nd song (4 points) 3rd song (3 points) 4th song (2 points) 5th song (1 point) I'm still undecided on my Caravan Top 5, but I'll have a list of songs coming up soon, with "For Richard" most likely at the top of my list.

| Thanks - I saw your poll on Caravan's best albums. I had no idea they did so many! |

I've also posted all five of Caravan's currently available YouTube albums on there too - including their latest album "Paradise Filter" (2013) - if you want to check them out.

^ Amazingly, you're the first person to vote in this poll, nearly four years after it was first posted by Father Christmas, who's long since disappeared to tend to his reindeer.

Winter Wine is my favorite. I haven't listened to their other albums, aside from if i could do it all over again i'd do it all over you. |

Nine Feet Underground The Love In Your Eye Can't Be Long Now / Françoise / For Richard / Warlock Winter Wine Auberge Du Sanguer I have always had a soft spot for 'Golf Girl' as well.

Me too. There are no under par songs on the classic Land of Pink and Grey album, although I still have a fairway to go to listen to all of Caravan's albums again.

I'd just go with five songs from their first album. The second album is good too. Not as much of a fan of the rest. |

Memory Lain, Hugh/Headloss Can't Be Long Now suite Nine Feet Winter Wine Frozen Rose I struggle with their first album; Lily and Plump are sporadically decent, where If I Could & Pink are ALMOST flawless |

- -wait, there's eight songs on their first album and five on their third (ItLoGaP). You should definitely give the early albums you weren't aware of a try (and For Girls Who Grow Plump... a second chance after doing so)

Top 5 seems way too little, IMHO Why not apply your usual top 7 formula? 1- Nine Feet Underground 2- Winter Wine 3- A Day In The Life of Maurice Haylett (B-side of Who Do single) 4- Where but For A Caravan Would I 5- The Love In Your Eye 6- L'Auberge du Sanglier 7- For Richard 8- Place of My Own 9- Cecil Rons (a way too-short marvelous track - out of this world) 10- Cthlu 11- In The Land of G&P 12- Memory Lain, Hugh / Headloss 13- As I Feel I Die 14- Nothing At All 15- Show Of Our Lives & Dabsong Conshirtoe .

^ I would've much preferred a Top 7 too, but it's not my poll, and Father Christmas has left us with a Top 5 instead, so we're stuck with it. I haven't even decided on my own Caravan Top 5 yet, even though this poll was posted nearly four years ago.

Sorry, force of habit   It's all Svettie's (Moyan) fault

Oh ! the choice is not so obvious , cos' they recorded a lot of splendid stuff I liked and still like ! A top 5 only is a real challenge ! Let's go ! L'auberge du sanglier Memory Lain Hugh, Headloss For Richard In the land of pink and grey Nine Feet underground and a lot more The only Lp (of their regular discography) I don't like is Waterloo Lily |

Frozen Rose In the land of the grey and pink The show of our lives No backstage pass Watcha gonna tell me ------------- All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock. |
