Its between Caravan, Crimson and Floyd. Ill give it to More as Im fairly certain I end up being the lone voter.
After that maybe Yes best album at 4th? Im never sure about these things and honestly find it strange that people are so set in their tastes and rankings almost as if they were making stonetablets on the side |

I wouldn't normally vote for Camel when there are the likes of Yes, Genesis and ELP in a poll but this is that exception

The Yes Album, although Lizard, Three Friends, and Argus did give me pause.

Good poll. In my opinion, VdGG third (H to He) is much better than Caravan, Genesis and Yes. In my ranking 1) From H to He is the number one, great masterpiece of rock music (not only prog) then, but far, 2) Lizard (KC) , then 3) Caravan and Family (great albums) then, but far, 4) Yes album 5) Nursery Crime, almost good albums, but not great. |

Your choice of avatar gave me a hint that you might vote for Van der Graaf Generator.

Yes, for me their albums between 1970 and 1971 (From The Least to Pawn Hearts) have no rivals. At most for 1970 there could be Soft Machine III, which however you have not included.

That's a good point about Soft Machine. I should have included them in the poll, bearing in mind I included three other Canterbury Scene bands:- Caravan; Hatfield & the North; & National Health. I could have put them in place of Family, who so far, haven't received any votes at all in any of my Best British Album polls, as far as I'm aware. I have you to thank for sparking my interest in Van der Graaf Generator and going out and buying my first two VDGG albums in November last year, which I listened to for the first time on Christmas Day.

I am happy that you think so! I cant choose between Family and Soft Machine, I like both very much. Soft Machine in my opinion is the largest Canterbury group, as is Wyatt's Rock Bottom, is in my Top 10. Between 1968 and 1971 Family and Soft Machine are exceptional for me both. I consider them much better than Yes, and EL&P. I have gone to vote for Family debut, although to be honest I consider the King Crimson debut even more beautiful and important. Anyway, Family are a very underrated group, I have already written the review on all their albums and I believe that Fearless, 1971, is their best progressive album after the debut, and it is a sadness that here on PA it is not among the first 100 and not even in the Top chart of 1971.
