I like multiple votes. Was able to vote for the Steve Hillage, Soft Machine and Hatfield and the North albums. Some other albums there as well which I couldn't vote for.

2 votes for Egg compared to three for Picchio, MGP and four for Cos is kind of upsetting. To me.

Categories strain, crack and sometimes break, under their burden - step out of the space provided.

Really? Don't understand what's good
about it myself. Too country and not enough Canterbury sounding to me. Anyway, this is hard. Think I'll go for HatN, Third and You today.

Lots of favs here, but went with Quiet Sun.

He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore

I've never really cared for the whole "Canterbury-for-Canterbury's-sake" kind of approach that some artists seem to take, so my favourite Canterbury albums tend to be ones where the typical Canterbury aesthetics get mixed up with other styles. And since Americana/country/Southern Rock are some of my favourite genres, Plump In The Night is a winning combination as far as I'm concerned.

Two of my favourite albums of all time are Robert Wyatt's "Rock Bottom" and the Soft's "Third". I will go with the Hatfield's first album for my third pick.

17 of those albums would be in my all time top 100, but as requested I limited myself to 3: Kew. Rhone. (which definitely needed more love), the Caravan (which is an easy winner), & Quiet Sun.

Yeah, that's my problem with only choosing three in this poll. I have all of the albums save one (Daevid Allen's Good Morning) and many of these rank amongst my favourite albums. Perhaps I'll go with Cos' Viva Boma, Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom, and John Greaves et al's Kew. Rhone today.

That's too bad, I love all of those (I really dig non-English "Canterbury sound" bands). Ah well, to each his or her own tastes. Egg is great, so is Cos, so is PdP, and so is MGP to me. Canterbury is one of the most consistently good categories in PA for my tastes.

Tough choice.....many of those are some of my favorite albums period.... went with Hatfield and the North....it always puts me in a great mood though Caravan, Nat Health, Khan and Egg are right up there for me.
I recently bought a used vinyl reissue of Khan's Space Shanty....price was very fair and an original would have been far more.

For me, Hatfield defines the "Canterbury Sound".
