I like Caravan very much, but the Nats were just too good. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F. Kennedy |

Caravan's classic era is hard to beat - Canterbury or not. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

| I do like more quantities of music by Caravan (of course it not really comparable) but imo National Health's self titled debut is the only five star classic from any of these bands. I guess both seems about fair. |

Caravan is far and away the best Canterbury scene band. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Not much of a backlog of Nasty Health studio albums to consider this match-up equitable (like there's three of them). But when they were in the zone, Caravan prog rocked suitably enough. Also a little more traditional compared to 'Health's output which I happen to "canter" to (Caravan, that is). I wouldn't recommend most of what they did, though. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

| Both - but if I had to choose, National Health. |

| Caravan edges National Health slightly if only because National Health is only a recent discovery for me. |

Both. Caravan is fine in quantity, NH is a quality group and 'Of Queues and Cures' is one of my favourite albums! I really can't compare them.

National Health for me, I love all of them, whereas Caravan have their moments and much I don't care about. Seems the National Health fans are the noisier bunch - Caravan leads by far in the poll but NH has still a slight majority among those who wrote here. |

Thanks for the 'both' option. I love their work equally, even if Caravan have more stuff to enjoy. And I must say that DS al Coda is stronger than Back To Front as far as the early 80's releases go. |

| I guess I need to look into some more Caravan. The limited material I've heard isn't even in the same league as National Health. |

National Health recorded a really strong debut album, but Caravan is a prog beast. ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |
