What a question...ROxy Music is a good band but Camel is on another league (single factor apart)

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Roxy Music!!!
Roxy Music 9.5/10 For Your Pleasure 10/10 Stranded 10/10 Country Life 10/10 Siren 9/10 Manifesto 8/10 Flesh + Blood 6.5/10 Avalon 10/10 That's an impressive discography with only one less-than-great LP. Camel had three great albums. Roxy by a large margin.

Yeah, Camel doesn't do much for me. Roxy Music, to me, has way better songs, and truly one of the best runs of any band ever. I'd say only Flesh + Blood and Manifesto aren't up to the high standards that they'd set for themselves earlier in their career, but they made up for that tenfold with how excellent Avalon is. Camel might be "more prog" with their complex arrangements and stuff, but Roxy Music made much more compelling music, pushing pop in new directions, and the songwriting is truly top notch.

I agree with this almost entirely. Personally, I'd give Siren 10/10 as well. It's my favorite of theirs! Front to back for me, it has the best songs they ever wrote, and even exceeds Country Life's greatness. I can't say enough about how dope that record is! And they're a band where 6 out of their 8 albums are excellent or total classics!

^HA! I wish, for I am but a young man, thirty and one years lived in this skin. But I can hear you, Dr. Wu. You may be more than just a shadow of the man that I once knew.

I like both quite a bit but it's almost a no brainer for me.

I saw them in May 1983 in Chicago at UIC university......great show (tail end of the Avalon Tour)...one of the last they did for not long after Ferry went solo for a while and the band never really recovered. I told my brother if he flew up from Florida to Chicago I'd pay for his ticket...it was the least I could do. ;) I have always been a big fan of Roxy, but I actually voted Camel in the poll. ![]() |

^Aw man, that's awesome! I think a while ago I found some decent live footage of them in the 70s on the ol' YouTube, but it's been a while since I looked. Might be time to look again...

^I have no idea where this was filmed but it looked just like this when I saw them at UIC....in 83.
