Well, Not listening to early of debut albums fropm prog bands is definiotely dodgy.... Sure most of them are not up to par with their later masterpieces, but debut albums from caravan, Tull, Genesis, Rush or even Yes, they've all got some classic tracks...
In Rush's case (I bathed in Rush when I was 10 to 17), their debut is indeed not very good, and I only enjoy Working Man
But in Tull's case, This Was is a stupendous album... certainly in my top 5, ahead of what many consider classic 70's Tull albums (like APP, MitG, SFTW or HH)
Caravan's debut is filled with absolute should-be classics, like Love Song With a Flute, A PlaCe Of My own, the fantastic Cecil Rons, and of course Where But for a Caravan Would I Be... If you haven't yet >> jump for it.

oh, BTW... I never really could get into CoS, despite the fact that I'm of French Culture (Bastille day) and partied in all the Ontario Lakeside parks in the area
