Caravan are a Canterbury Scene band from the 70s. They are most famous for their critically acclaimed album "In the Land of Grey and Pink". I searched for them everywhere and I couldn't find them, but I thought I shouldn't put them in the "suggest new bands" forum because they are quite an old band, and might already have been suggested. Does anyone like them?

Yes, I do. I have all of Caravan's albums up to and including the cheekily named Spoonerism album, "Cunning Stunts". Smile
 
I felt sure Caravan were already included in ProgArchives in the Canterbury Scene section. Confused

Same with me. And I lost interest after The Land of Grey and Pink.

Great 'whimsical' Canterbury progressive rock band.....first 5 albums are all very good especially 
If I Could.., Grey and Pink, and Waterloo.

Don't forget to ck out the Canterbury page here.

Favorite album Caravan...
:)

I'd sooner be asking "Who doesn't like Caravan?" :) Caravan was the first Canterbury Scene/ Sound band that I got into, with In the Land of Grey and Pink ("Nine Feet Underground is so marvelous). It's a gateway for many into the worlds of Canterbury Scene music.

It's actually not a Canterbury Secne/Sound band that I have returned much to over the past 14 or so years as I just found many others that I would return to more. I do have an awful lot of Canterbury Scene/ Sound albums, and I find it it to be one of the most consistently excellent categories in PA (that and Zeuhl are the most consistently good for me, but I listen more to a plethora of Canterbury acts these days).

If you haven't yet explored our Canterbury category (genre) at PA, which I'm guessing you haven't, methinks you might have many great discoveries ahead of you.When I discovered PA, that is one of the first categories that I fell in love with (I already knew Caravan, but not much else). I think Gong was the first I got into after Caravan.

Oh, by the way, welcome to the site. I hope you have fun here and discover lots of great music along the way.

Not having Caravan on this site would sort of be like not having Nektar, Soft Machine, Renaissance, Magma, Gong, Focus, VDGG, Camel and Gentle Giant. Tongue
