Based on last weekend's excessive use of Caravan, I'm going with Dave Sinclair. There are so many others I could've voted for here, but Sinclair fulfils every need I crave for in music. He's got feel, intonation, a natural naiveness and maybe some of the most recognisable organ licks known to man. I simply adore his playing.

What Canterbury being Fusion? Or Fusion being trippy?
That's what I was saying. How can all Canterbury (incl. JRF stuff like that from National Health and Matching Mole and SM) be hippy-trippy?

Me too, and I would add Clive Brooks to the list. Voted for Mont Campbell anyway.

Mine too, closely followed by Richard Sinclair and Pip Pyle. 
Both made some excellent compositions, and Richard has a great voice too.
Correct. Richard Sinclair's voice is so unique.Still waiting for a re-release of "Back to Front ",a really under-rated  Caravan album.

Same.  I love Wyatt in Soft Machine, Matching Mole, his "solo" work, as well as various other projects/albums he contributed to.  He's also the artist included in PA that I'd most like to meet.

Me: Bob Wyatt. His work with SM, Matching Mole, solo - he really knew how to get it on. An outstanding drummer, vocalist, and writer (what an ear for melody).

Ooh, tough one - all great musicians. Canterbury's one of those genres I'm so vague on, I've only heard a handful of albums to be quite honest. Richard Sinclair is a pretty prolific guy though, not my favourite musician, but he gets around. Big smile

Richard Sinclair for that whimsical voice of his. Dave Stewart for being probably the best keyboardist I have heard.

Richard Sinclair for me, as Caravan is by far my favourite Canterbury band, though I do like Egg and Soft Machine.

Never liked Gong and their hippy trippy music.
