Good question.

Caravan were more esoteric and possibly the vocals didn't suit many.

Caravan certainly didn't get the credit they deserved

The vocal sound is a great deal different, and Gilmour's guitar work is very distinctive and popular.

Both points are correct.

Pink Floyd were just smoother

If there were justice in the world Caravan would have been more popular, but we could say that about many artists.


Too many cloth ears or am I just a musical snob -as my wife has said?

Lovely flute.

I have spent several of the evenings this week at the Royal Albert Hall watching Mel Collins dazzle and captivate on the flute.
