Camel is ok, but King Crimson is on another lvl.

Ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run
You missed the starting gun

CAMEL! NO DOUBT! THEIR MELODIES ARE MEMORABLE and finally with them the sound become much refined. King Crimson is just fusion.

King Crimson rules. but Camel is definitely one of my favorite bands in general. They are two different sounds; sometimes I prefer the jagged arrangements of KC, and sometimes I want the dreamy landscapes of Camel. King Crimson is legendary, but I'd probably pick Camel if I had to choose!

I respect KC, but it's not my thing— with the exception of 'Red,' it's mostly too dissonant for me to enjoy. Camel = pure enjoyment.

KC has the only masterpiece in my books (the debut)
but Camel is more consistently enjoyable for me
tough call
will vote for the equal option I guess

Surely King Crimson has always had a bigger fanbase than Camel? After all King Crimson are premier league whilst Camel are second division.
But I will probably vote Camel. I find it hard to decide these days. |
Wow, that´s only cussedness from you!

King Crimson have several albums that I would call masterpieces. Camel have a couple of really good albums, but that's it. There are times when I prefer Latimer's guitar work, however.

I´m sorry but Latimer´s guitar work knows to play Mr. Fripp with forefinger in his nostril.

Wilful act. I feel contradiction in your post. When I like something, then I vote for it.

Not so, in fact. In the late 60s/early 70s, Crimson gained a lot of fans with their first album and lost them very quickly with their second and subsequent offerings. By the end of my time at Cambridge (1973), Crimson were a spent force - we thought about booking them but their gig attendances were too poor to justify it. Camel never quite made the first division in terms of sales but were much more popular than Crimson from 74 - 77. (They still are outside this site in the other prog communities I move in). Crimson were never ever up there with Genesis, ELP, Yes, Tull and ELP, the real 1st div.

My New year's reslution was to ignore Walter's posts, based upon your suggestion. Another NYR might be to give up trying to understand these exchanges
