I'm not surprised but he has had at least 4 goes at it. The original (I recently discovered) was including in that fine underground magazine Zig Zag in 1973 (to complement an interview/piece about Kevin Ayers), then with some additions in the Soft Machine Triple Echo 3 LP box set, and then in the Rock Family Trees books - how many editions to date?

Did you see the Channel 4,  Rock Family Trees series, which covered progressive rock - that was so clearly mega-complicated that King Crimson was totally omitted?

Please can somebody justify Isotope and Daryl Way's Wolf in this list, while omitting Gong (marks 1 and mark 2), Egg, and the various Elton Dean and Phil Miller projects, Steve Hillage (blimey he studied at  University of Kent at Canterbury for a short while before joining Gong)- and original Canterbury band Wilde Flowers? (And then there is all those projects Lol Coxhill and the late Steve Miller were involved - btw I don't mean the Texan Steve Miller). However, I'm please to see you haven't included Allan Holdsworth or Bill Bruford - as some have (like the Canterbury fanzine Facelift for a start)

Egg should be on the list btw...



I was going to include Egg plus quite a few others but as
you say this is a difficult one. I had to take a sharp intake of breath before posting the poll.I did include
an others/related bit at the bottom as I thought it
would provoke discussion.Playing Devil's Advocaat?!?(sounds like a Hatfield's title?)
