Arguably the Soft Machine debut was the first Canterbury album, recorded in NYC!

I think a top five by me would look like this:

1 Soft Machine - Volume Two
1 Arzachel - Arzachel
3 Caravan - Caravan
3 Kevin Ayers - Joy of a Toy
5 Soft Machine - The Soft Machine

Caravan. That debut album from 1968 is a superb gem of the early Canterbury scene, showcasing Richard Sinclair's enchanting vocals, lovely tunes featuring flute, and that dreamy and pastoral atmosphere, while simultaneously marking the first-ever printed mention of the term "progressive rock" in its liner notes, making it both a musical and historical milestone for the genre.
