I started to listen & love Caravan in 2010`s. Really would have loved them already in the eighties, when I started to listen prog, if somebody had then borrowed me their albums. Their three first are my faves, but they havenīt made totally bad album. Definitely my fav Canterbury band.

Hi,

Started in 1972 ... however, by that time I already had a lot of things that were not yet "known" as Canterbury, but had the feeling and idea that became their trademark, and Caravan did not define it, however, they ended up being their most famous band. And I do not think that Pye will allow SM to get that distinction! (He'll have a beer over that one! He wouldn't care and knows that his band did just fine!)

I haven't been able to really like any of their albums except the absolute masterpiece that is "In the Land of Grey and Pink".  But maybe I haven't given the other albums enough chance

Just listened to that album today. Honestly, it's not as good as I remember and without Richard Sinclair's bass/vocals, it would not be as good. "Winter Wine", Richard's song, is the best here. PA'S most treasured Canterbury release. 3.5 stars for me.

And can anyone explain the lyrics of the title track (second best track).... specifically when they get to the land "and pick our fill of punk weed and smoke it till we bleed, that's all we need". Hmmmmm

Try the "Cunning Stunts" album - not to be confused with a Metallica video of the same name, or an adult website of a similar name. Tongue

To me their two first are as great as "In the Land". At the moment first one is the greatest. Later seventies albums are great too, but not same kind of masterpieces as three first. I like also quite much their two last studio albums.
