Possible this has done before, but at least I couldn´t find any with the search function. Here are all the studio albums and live albums that are not recorded for the many years ago from the release for those who prefer live to studio. Also took here those two nineties re-recorded albums from the old songs, although hard to believe any fans of theirs. It´s of course very possible Pink will win and others have just few votes, but on the other I know there are fans for Plump & Symphonia. I really love at the moment sixties production, so from my three first favorite Caravan albums I take the first!! It´s just musically and with it´s sounds the best at the moment!!

No Live At Fairfield Halls 1974? That would have received my vote. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

Tough one as my favorite songs by them are from For Girls Who Plump in the Night but In the Land of Grey and Pink has a better consistency, start to finish. I also enjoy "The Dabsong Conshirtoe" from Cunning Stunts and the sublime "Can't be long now/Françoise/For Richard/Warlock" from If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You. I've never given anything after Cunning Stunts a listen. Should I? ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

In the Land Of Grey And Pink, followed by If I Could Do It All Over Again, I´d Do It All Over You, very close, and with For the Girls Who Grow Plump In the Night, in the third place. So, it must be, In the Land Of Grey And Pink.

If I could, just a little bit above Grey and Pink. Only because Love to Love you is quite a stinker. If I could is consistent from the start to the end. ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

| Aw c’mon. Grey and Pink. Still appreciate The Album and Paradise Filter and all, but honestly, Grey and Pink can’t be beat. |

Hi, FOR GIRLS ... is by far one of my favorite albums of all time. HOWEVER, I really have a soft spot for THE NEW SINFONIA album which is fabulous, specially the remastered and complete (in order!!!) version that the LP didn't have, which also has added music for it, which fit beautifully, and it all just shows what a magnificent band it was ... it's a real shame, because this would be a precious SYMPHONIC top album (literally!!!) and instead it is ignored because one album supposedly helped define "progressive music", which I do not think it's true ... I kinda think it is jazzy pop sometimes, with a lot of rock in it. Progressive in its ability and mix, but not much else. They have too many great albums ... and I like their next 3 albums after FOR GIRLS ... a lot. Much more than the really early stuff ... but the whole family thing that started as CARAVAN, had so many folks that were a part of the CANTERBURY scene, it's not funny! No wonder they are called "Caravan".

"New Symphonia" is my favorite as well, although I love the first 7 studio albums. But this, IMHO, is the greatest fusion of band and orchestra I've ever heard. They are not just a background but an actual part of the songs -- this orchestra COOKS! ------------- PROGMATIC |

Thought If I Could Do It All Over Again, I´d Do It All Over You would have a stronger turn out here. Pleasantly surprised that For Girls Who Grow Plump In the Night is currently distant second. ------------- https://gabebuller.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - New album! http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7385" rel="nofollow - http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=7385 |

| I voted If I Could Do It All Over Again, but I considered voting for their self titled album. A close second. Caravan hadn't fully developed their style yet, but it's a very charming psychedelic album. |

If I could do it again i'd do it all over you followed by Land of grey and pink followed by Girls that grow plums in the night.. The remastered and complete 'with the new Symphonia' and the Fairfield hall 74 (best of Caravan) live lps are real gems also. I also have a fondness for Cunning Stunts and Better by Far despite a few cheesy songs ------------- |
