Vote for tortilla Flat, incredible album, unfortunately still unavailable. My second vote would go to Dr Dopo Jam, but not this one. The previous Entree is a fantastic stuff.

f**king Camel.. pfff... great album but as Canterbury as this beer drinking ass kicking cowboy hippy as I am...

the Hatfield album.. followed oh so closely by the Wyatt album... one of the great albums to consider blowing your brains out to.. good thing I didn't know that album after the Spawn of Satan ripped my soul and heart out of me... or I might have done it...as it was I tried to kill myself by entering a flaming car wreck and pulling out a guy who lived through it.  I got a write up in the local paper but that wasn't the intent.. I didn't intend to live through that attempt.  

the power of evil redheads... beware guys...

Seems like Caravan ought to be in there, if we're talking about Canterbury. I'd still go with Camel though.

Interestingly I recently found a nice (and cheap) copy on original vinyl of Darryl Ways Wolf-Night Music and I have an English issue  copy of Rock Bottom on vinyl that I haven't played in a long time....need to pull it out and see what all the fuss is about. I recall it being laid back and not all that exciting.

No votes for Henry Cow made me sad, so I voted for that.

Henry Cow, Hatfield, Gong, Wyatt - 5 star albums all.

Hell even Camel put out their best.

Great poll, tough choice.

Definitely...one of my desert island albums....

Clap Totally agree- played last night and again it strikes me just how timeless and almost contemporary it sounds and how instruments, moods, textures and treatments were employed in a way that very, very few (if any) were using at that time but has come to influence a whole range of music in the following decades right up to now (and beyond im sure). An absolute genius!

Second vote for Cos. I really love that band. Playful, naive, complex and melodic in all the right places - add to that a female vocalist that goes from cute to sinister in a heartbeat whilst still looking you square in the eye. Something of a siren to these ears.
Could have gone for a lot of others e Gong's masterpiece but felt a little Belgian this tuesday afternoon.

Many great albums here - Mirage, You, and Hatfields

But Rock Bottom is particularly special and unique.

Hatfield and the North and RW Rock Bottom tie for the top. I do Like HC Unrest and Gong You very much also. And Mirage I adore but to me it exists in a slightly (only slightly, mind) different place..

I've only heard Greenslade's self-titled, will check into that one anon.

If you already like the first album you really can't go wrong with the next 2, Bedside Manners Are Extra & Spyglass Guest Wink

Still Hatfield, but Mirage and Civil Surface are close.
Honorable mentions to Rock Bottom and You.
Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Hatfield and the North for me. That album pretty much sums up everything that was so unique about the Canterbury Scene and one of the top albums of the entire scene.
