I like them equally, and it's a very tough call.
 
Overall I think NH were a little stronger compositionally , but HATN incorporated the whimsical sense of humour that was a vital ingredient of the Canterbury sound more successfully.

if you'd quit listening to those damn rush albums .. LOL  I tell you.. they eat away the musical intellect hahhhaah.  Pick up a HatN album.. you won't regret it.Wink


Yes, I am living proof of that....Angry  Says one who listens to Dee-Lite, Barbra Streisand and other such musical delights!TongueWinkLOL

*starts figuring out ways to retaliate*




LOL  you'll get your retaliation next October... I'll get mine next month. *puts Dee-Lite and Babs in the suitcase hahhaha*

In no smal ldegree, due to the entry of bassist extraordinaire John Greaves. His dynamics and peculiar groove gave the band's sound an extra dose of excitement, in this way, enhaning their inhenert intensity and enriching their usual complexity at performing and arranging.
 
   Kind regards.

National Health seemed more cohesive. Any band who could play "Portrait of a Shrinking Man" deserves the vote.

I'd probably have to go along with this as well. Although Hatfield is more Canterbury to me.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Hatfield and the North, although National Health isn't far behind.
