miracles my ass LOL  We are the ones hoping the miracle.  Camel is definitely the favorite in this. They knocked out ELP several years back in the last battle of the bands.

Thus the 'over the top' nature of this. A fun rematch for revenge!! LOL

Yup, voted for ELP dreading that the valium will win the day eventually.

Camel very easily.

A band with nearly 40 years of great albums v a band who shone for about 4 before turning out lemons like Love Beach.

I definitely prefer Camel to ELP, though ELP still has produced some quality stuff.

listening to Camel is a great, albeit buttery experience.

ELP is obviously a much more import band but I rarely listen.  Camel it is.

I like both, so this one's hard, but I have to give my vote to Camel. Moonmadness trumps anything ELP ever recorded, IMO.

The ones who made a whole album about a bird.

ELP are great, but Camel connects with me on a whole different level. And I find them to be more consistent.

ELP, despite Latimer's superb playing. Lake's vocals do it for me.
A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!
