But Caravan is probably the most popular Canterbury Scene band, particularly amongst people who never really delved into Canterbury Scene music, or don't consider themselves to be fans of the subgenre..

Third against Land of Grey and Pink would probably be close, and I'd bet it'd go to Caravan. But Plump is at best their third most well-known and liked album, going up against what some consider to be one of prog's magnum opuses.

Caravan 2
Soft Machine 2

In a level of composition, Third easily beats Plump, but I don't like the roughness of Third, I prefer the versions from the 'BBC Sessions' or 'Alive in Paris 1970', both more enjoyable than Third, in my opinion. Plump is very good, not the best. I'll go for sound quality and 'Backwards'.

There won't be a tie, as such, as the reigning champion will always be seen to be, in any unbreakable tie, one point ahead by virtue of having beaten the previous album(s) it came up against. So if there were no more votes at all, Fugazi would still win.

But yes, at the moment, it's a dead heat. If there's no appreciable gap being opened up we can just decide on a limit, say, a day or two days, after which the contest is decided and the next challenger is up.
Sound ok to everyone?

Also, in case anyone thinks the rule above is unfair, that then Fugazi could never be beaten, that's not true: it's only in cases of a tie that it comes into play. If this had gone Fugazi 6 Camel 10 for instance, then the dromedaries would have won and be the new champion against whom the next album would try its luck.
