I 'm sure there are other artists I forgot (I left off Henry Cow b/c I consider them to be more RIO than canterbury), but I included everyone I could think of at the time.  You can also include your favorite album by that artist.  If you vote other please tell who this vote is for.  Thank you.

I voted for National Health. Of Queues And Cures is a wonderful album. But their debut album is very good, too.

I'd say Bruford (the band) made music that is strongly Canterbury influenced, too, but people always disagree with me on that one  .

I also love some of the stuff made by Caravan, Hatfield, Gong and Robert Wyatt. Canterbury is a rich musical well...

I just got that album...haven't had a chance to listen to it yet, but I am sure it'll be great!

National Health all the way for me. Imo, National Health Complete should be in every prog/Canterbury fan's collection. A must!

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

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!

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.

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

And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
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.

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.
