Argh, another tough one - but my personal choice has to be Rotter's Club - I bought it not long after release when I was 14 and before I heard all the others on this list. Still love it.

Can't choose a single one.  I love them all. With your permission, I would add an obscure album which I have discovered recently. Maybe one day it will belong to that great list.

I'm a Canterbury fan so that's really a tough choice for me.......after some agony I went with Rotters Club but Caravan and Nat Health are right up there for me. btw...I like the first Egg better than Polite...not sure why that one has a higher rating. And I think 'If I Could'...and 'Girls Who Grow'...are just as good as 'Pink'.

Rotters Club easily for me. I mean if you took literally any other classic era Caravan album, that would be my choice - but that album is just so lame.

Mine would be three of them: Five Stars desert island discs: Third Rock Bottom You
Four and a half: Polite Force Rotters Club
Four: Land of Grey and Pink
Of Queues and Cures is great as well but got so much more love for National Health's debut. Fish Rising is half fantastic, half not so fantastic.
Those last two never clicked with me.
