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

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. ------------- Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell? I will not forgive you if you will not take the chance. |

| 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. ------------- CLH |

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.

Third has 'Out Bloody Rageous' and 'Moon in June', no contest.

Yet another chalk and cheese comparison. Quite different music.
Third: avant early 70's British jazz fusion;
Rock Bottom: (post life changing event) avant pop/rock.
Might as well be more specific and compare Hibou Anemone & Bear with I'm A Believer (or even Shipbuilding) - songs for and from very different times and experiences.

Just tied it.
I think Third is an excellent album (my favorite is Facelift BTW) but Rock bottom is very very high on my personal most loved albums list. actualy I think that only Red and First utterance (and maybe H to He...) are in the same level. ------------- omri |

I agree. I never liked it. Rock Bottom on the other hand is superb. -------------

Both are desert-island albums for me. Too hard to pick a clear winner, so I chose "both"! ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Moon in June is a masterpiece! Both albums are amazing, Third is harder to get into than Rock Bottom though. -------------

I have a feeling Rock Bottom would be winning this if all had heard both. For the popularity of Third on this site I'd not be surprised at all if someone had voted Third and not heard Rock Bottom. The other way around however, is very unlikely. That being said i might be leaning towards Third, but I can't decide at all. ------------- Which of you to gain me, tell, will risk uncertain pains of hell?

I do really like both. It would depend on my mood which I prefer so I won't split them.

Third. Listening to Facelift for the first time was mind-blowing. And Moon in June, probably in my top 5 favorite songs of all time. ------------- Life is like a beanstalk... isn't it? |
