Usually, Camel is not considered to be a Canterbury band.

SOFT MACHINE by far they were the pioneers, always tried new territoiries, never went commercial and pop like Caravan,
But everyone else on this list is great ....HATFIELD, GONG, NH.
I don't know of a bad ROBERT WYATT album
CARAVAN has the first 4 albums on par with the rest, but when Richard Sinclair left. they were never the same again, and the voice of PYE HASTINGS...not that great..
''Waterloo Lily'' was the last great one,

CARAVAN's place in prog history, let alone the Canterbury scene, should never be undervalued . They're just a wonderful band across the whole spectrum of their extensive recording catalogue and from their extensive touring . And like some of the other leading lights [ Tull, VdGG, Roger Waters etc.] they're still out they're doing it . How many others on this list have such a pedigree?

Looking still the same after all these years... mrgd

Robert Wyatt (includes Soft Machine/Matching Mole). All the bands in the poll are pretty great.

NATIONAL HEALTH is tops in Canterbury for me. But I do love every band in this poll, so it's a hard choice.

National Health's Of Queues And Cures is for me Canterbury's finest hour. All the tracks are good, it's an hour full of great music, it's varied... I prefer NH to HATN. Hard to explain why. The great sound? Probably.
I must admit that I haven't heard anything by Steve Hillage yet, and still have to buy the Picchio album (which is only a matter of time, because of the great stream from their debut album that I heard on the PA site).

I miss Egg in this poll, so I vote for the lovely Hatfields. National Health would have been my other choice. And Steve Hillage's "Fish Rising" is recommendable, too.

Gong, but I dont consider them too canterbury-ish. One of my favourite canterbury acts is missing : Khan.

Gone is great. Only with Steve Hillage. Fish Rising - Fantastic.....Caravan is highly overrated....Egg is much, much better than Hatfield and the North. Two words for Hatfield - King Crimson......

I love Caravan to death. In The Land of Grey and Pink is absolutely brilliant.
Gong are a not-so-close second.
