Just replace Soft Machine with Egg and there you have the five best Canterbury bands. Hard to decide really.. maybe Caravan. |

I can't decide either - they're all so closely interlinked that the poll is almost meaningless. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

Soft Machine was much more innovative and better than Egg IMO (although
I like Egg as well). I did a poll like this several months
ago. My vote then was for Soft Machine, and my vote now is still
for Soft Machine, but I really love every Canterbury band!!! ------------- "Art is not imitation, nor is it something manufactured according to the wishes of instinct or good taste. It is a process of expression." -Merleau-Ponty |

Lucky you, I wish I could, but I don't think they will ever come to North America, and a ticket to Germany would be ridiculously expensive, especially for a college student. ------------- "Art is not imitation, nor is it something manufactured according to the wishes of instinct or good taste.

I love canterbury sound! I just wish Egg was included because I think "The Polite Force" is a masterpiece.

Hatfield and the North by far (even though they only had 2 albums).
Their 1st album is probably the best 50 continuous minutes of music
I've ever heard. btw, i just found out that you can vote more than once, wtf. |

National Health is absolutely my favourite Canterbury band from this list. Hey, great, I'm going to listen to And Queues And Cures tonight, gotta do that. It's totally a matter of taste in my case. All the other bands mentioned are very good too, but I just looooove the NH style! |
