Soft Machine, but I guess I'm in the minority here. Hatfield and the North's debut is the real gem here.

Kevin Ayers died at the age of 68 in 2013, so he didn't do too bad compared to the unfortunate members of "the 27 club."

I might be tempted to go out and buy a Kevin Ayers 5-CD box set for Ģ10, just as soon as the record stores reopen again.

Joy of a Toy is a sweet album from Kevin. For me, its like the transitional album between the Psych leaning Soft Machine debut, and the more Jazz-Psych of SM Volume 2. A very twee and good natured album, with some twists. Typical Ayers

Caravan were my gentle introduction to Canterbury Scene music too, even before I'd heard of the Canterbury Scene.

Soft Machine's eponymous album is very strong indeed; I haven't heard Joy Of A Toy but I can't imagine it being better. Gong's and Caravan's debut albums don't really stand out to me at all.

To me Caravan is the greatest Canterbury band, although I really love also Ayers, three first Soft Machine-albums and Gong. The next greatest is Matching Mole, really liked much Wyattīs Rock Bottom (havenīt yet listened any of his other solos, going to do that soon). Have to say Hatfieldīs Rotters is better album than their first.

Caravan is THE most mainstream and well-known of Canterbury Scene/Sound choices. It would do well even if people didn't know or like the album up against the others (which many will not know at all). I like Joy of a Toy muchly, but voted for Magick Brother. Soft Machine's first could also get my vote. I like Caravan's debut, but Caravan is actually one of my less-liked bands in Canterbury Scene (and I love lots of Canterbury Scene music). I've said before that Caravan is THE Canterbury Scene band for those not really into the Canterbury scene/ sound.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

All are very good works. But, this time I'm with the minority, especially in this case, since nobody chose "Magick Brother". I always loved it. So, "Magick Brother" must be.

We do get a lot of stones underground within Pennsylvania and it does make it a royal pain in the convertible to plant trees in the front yard even though they wanted pears, but we had to settle on crabapples because the dogwoods were over eight feet tall. We have these really long metal rods for breaking up the sonatas. I didn't listen to all of these, but I still chose Eldorado. We can both wait in line for ham together. OK.
