I love Hatfield! It's just that I love Nat. Health more.
Maybe the Calyx (Canterbury) site will cheer you up. They once had a poll, and Caravan's In The Land Of Grey And Pink and Hatfield's Rotters' Club were voted as the very best Canterbury albums. Don't know if the poll's still there.

I'll choose Caravan. They made superb music and also used very amusing lyrics.

don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.

That was tough ... I chose Caravan over 8 other bands/artists I also really like (and I just don't know the rest well enough) ... on another day it would have been Hatfield And The North, with Khan also an outside bet ...

I voted for Matching Mole -- they were the most aggressive band of the whole Canterbury bunch. Anyway, I love all bands and soloists listed in this challenging poll.

didnt vote as Canterbury basically SUCKS!
Although efforts with Robert Wyatt, Daevid Allen are
of note!
Soft Machine - Third
Matching Mole - same
Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom
Daevid Allen - Good Morning
Gong - You
with a nod to
Caravan - In the Land of the Pink and Gey
National Health - Queues And Cures
Khan - Space Shanty
most of the rest of Canterbury is a bunch of noddling
non descript junk and has NO universal appeal!

Soft Machine is my choice, maybe because they were the jazziest, and I'm also a jazz-lover. Plus, they made a groundbreaking album like THIRD
