Alright, I put my head back together, and made a choice.

Amon Duul II. I love all four bands, of course, but AD2 has Tanz der Lemminge, one of my all time most played albums.

Another classic prog bands poll. Alright.

Giving it to The Softs again. Could have given it to ADII. Don't care much for the other two.

This. 

Then again Amon Düül ll only has 4 votes atm, so there you goBig smile Nothing beats a Friday afternoon with a cold beer in your hand, Wolf City blasting from your stereo and a room filled entirely with bananas.

Caravan for me. I can listen to Nine Feet Underground etc till the cows come home.

But I find it a bit difficult to compare the Canterbury sound of Caravan with 2 krautrock bands and the Softs though. Am I missing something here?
