I have never been too fond of Camel. They have their good spots but there isn't a single song by them that I absolutely love. ELP, on the other hand, made Tarkus. While they are beyond inconsistent, they still crank out the occasional masterpiece song.

CAMEL by a mile for me, maybe more than just 1 mile actually.

Now that I think of it that's true. Who would have thought Latimer is so self indulgent to not let RS as the lead vocalist? Not even a thousand spinning pianos can hold up against that one. I mean , " Load your program I am yourself" was all Emo ever sang.
An also some vocals on the first impression , with better results than Latimer , I bet anyone Emerson must be even a better axeman 
... well , who needs an axe when you have a modular Moog???

f'*cking Camel
i don't know how to multi quote but yeah , Never let go is a really energetic song with a great guitar solo at the en. I also enjoy the live version with Richard Sinclair on vocals , that guy's voice is a British treasure |
You rock  ! Richard Sinclair has now become my favourite prog vocalist... His absence from most polls is a total disgrace  .

damn right... as if making uninspiring boring music wasn't sin enough.. not to mention daring to beat ELP last year.... they had one of the greatest voices ever in prog... and Latimer still insisted on singing. The single worst aspect of the group... forget the boring music... stupid move which deserves the slings and arrows of any decent upstanding prog fan hahahha

I think their best album might be their debut. "Never Let Go" is a very good song, for which I have always had a soft spot.

It's quite weird because I consider The Snow goose to be their only 5 star album but it's approach is no different than Moonmadness or Mirage , it's even MORE pastoral.
Probably it has to do with the fact that Latimer shuts up on the whole album , I don't know

I don't love either band, but I find ELP a little more interesting, even if they're a little more inconsistant.

I voted ELP as well. And Raff, as long as you're respectful of other people's views, then you have every right to speak your opinion. I agree with you 110% from the other day, and if other people have a hard time accepting that, then I think they need to take their hard feelings somewhere else. They could use that energy to write a Camel review instead!
