Multiple votes. Please limit yourself to 3.
Going with Rock Bottom, Hatfield & the North and Third.
Caravan would have been one of my choices if it was If I Could do it all Over Again... but I put In the Land of the Grey and Pink since it has better ratings.

Caravan, Hillage and Soft Machine. Actually prefer L to Fish Rising - but both are very good.

Caravan, Hillage, and Khan, with special mention to Gong (who I did not vote for, keeping it at 3).

Great list, a lot of great albums here. I have to go with Caravan, but it could be any of them.

Khan, Hatfield, and Quiet Sun are my picks.
I do love Grey and Pink (among a handful of others listed here), but I chose not to vote for it only because I think For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night is Caravan's true masterwork.

Voted for National Health's second album, but Caravan, Hatfield, Khan and Moving Gelatine Plates' records are amazing as well. Edit: Since three votes are allowed Caravan and Hatfield got one too.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.
