At the time, I would have said Genesis but now it's Camel (hearing many of these tracks played live last year certainly brought it home to me)

I find the aesthetic of Camel pretty foreign to me, but it's part of the bewilderment
of exploring the Prog rock community like I have online since around 1993.  To see
that they are in the majority over what is considered Genesis' greatest work by many,
is a bit like seeing other things online that puzzles one....it seems "programmed" like
by a weird conspiracy, like if the owner's of the site are part of a government experiment
or something.  It just doesn't make sense! (lol) and at the same time, I know much
better than to care.

Two fantastic albums, but I feel Moonmadness stands a bit taller!

Moonmadness is my favourite Camel album, but Trick is one of my top albums of all time so it gets the vote.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I voted for Moonmadness and would have even if the score was not so lopsided.
I am a little surprised that the score is not a lot closer since both albums are great.
