Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

I like ELP a lot, but I like Camel more I think, and either way Camel is consistently amazing....I can't say I feel the same for ELP at all.

Camel by a country mile. Andy Latimer amongst my favorite guitarists of all time. Man....can he make some wonderful sounds with that thing!

voted for ELP, their early albums are mostly all interesting,if not great. Camel has few nice works and too many mellow symphonic "sweet dreams..." music.

I prefer Camel, because there's only one ELP album I still listen to on occasion (their debut), the rest gets on my nerves.

ELP for me.  Camel is a fine band, but they are too mellow to really send chills down my spine like some ELP tracks do.  They also don't have a 5-star masterpiece (although I really enjoy "Mirage," "The Snow Goose," and "Moonmadness,") unlike ELP, who had the almighty "Brain Salad Surgery."

I love both. Lake has the most beautiful male voice in the history of prog, but ELP were too concentrated on technics so are sometimes a bit cold. You can't hear 7 minutes solo drums from mr. Ward, but do we need solos? Camel's music is full of feelings and images. A walk in the desert from Nimrodel to Lawrence. 
 
Camel.

I love a bit of pompous bombast in the morning so I voted ELP. Camel are okay but they just don't excite or engage me.

Camel of course, they have a lot more consistence as a band and they are more emotive....ELP is only show and virtuosity.
