I thought this might be an interesting topic as Caravan doesn't seem to be a widely discussed band on PA, also because I am not very familiar with them - I only have one album that I bought recently, In the Land of Grey and Pink, so it would be very good if people could give me an idea of what they did that's good and what they did that's bad (if they did anything bad).

Ck out their page here then listen to them on you tube or elsewhere....as I said on the other thread the first 5 albums are all very good if you like the Canterbury sound., but there is some good music on the later ones also.
I would recommend Hatfield and the North and Khan(Space Shanty) to start on other Canterbury bands...but there are many good ones.

Oh...have to get back on the 5 songs but I'm betting the Canterbury fans  will be posting soon....

I'll add up the collective points for the Top 5 Caravan songs as we go, using my usual points system:-
 
1st song (6 points)
2nd song (4 points)
3rd song (3 points)
4th song (2 points)
5th song (1 point)
 
I'm still undecided on my Caravan Top 5, but I'll have a list of songs coming up soon, with "For Richard" most likely at the top of my list. Smile

Thanks - I saw your poll on Caravan's best albums. I had no idea they did so many!

I've also posted all five of Caravan's currently available YouTube albums on there too - including their latest album "Paradise Filter" (2013) - if you want to check them out. Smile

^ Amazingly, you're the first person to vote in this poll, nearly four years after it was first posted by Father Christmas, who's long since disappeared to tend to his reindeer. Smile

Winter Wine is my favorite. I haven't listened to their other albums, aside from if i could do it all over again i'd do it all over you.

Me too. There are no under par songs on the classic Land of Pink and Grey album, although I still have a fairway to go to listen to all of Caravan's albums again. Smile
