Two wonderful albums with Wyatt Smile !
Even if I like Third very much, I prefer Rock Bottom Tongue.

My opinion's the reverse of yours - even though I like Rock Bottom very much, I prefer Third.

I like both very much, but Third is one of the best albums ever, and gets my vote.

Rock Bottom has something more. 
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

This is quite difficult.  I went with Third, but it's very close.  Both are absolutely amazing albums.

Third is great, but Rock Bottom is a masterpiece.  One of the all-time greatest.

Soft Machine's "Third" is my favourite album of all-time... I love Robert's music, and I would have to say "Rock Bottom" is his best one, but not close to the top of my favourite list.

I'm a bigger fan of Wyatt's solo material than his material with Soft Machine.  Both are good stuff to these sometimes thirsty ears.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
