| Caravan or Camel? Multiple Vote. The spirit is that you take 7 votes, one for each pair of albums. Of course, you can vote just one or two, post your comments, and still return later for more. Also, all sorts of memorabilia, (un)expected associations, and those things we always wanted but they didn't give to us, are warmly welcome! |

I think the most difficult to choose from was Do It All Over/ Mirage... really tight. Today I went with the former, tomorrow might be different..
FWIW, I went: Camel / Caravan / Caravan / Camel / Caravan / Caravan / Camel (Ice is by some way, the best track on either album) ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

| The match I had more reservations with is Lily with Madness, which sounds quite unbalanced from the outset, but the album-by-album premise requires it... |

Definitely Caravan over Camel. The only album tête-à-têtes Camel wins is for Moonmadness and anything against Blind Dog. Nice idea for a poll! Quite creative! I suspect we'll be seeing a lot like this now--which will be fun. ------------- Drew Fisher https://progisaliveandwell.blogspot.com/ |

What I can tell about Camel and Caravan is that I love The Snow Goose and Grey & Pink, and find Rain Dances okay. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

| I've never listened to Caravan or Canterbury scene that much (although I enjoy recent releases by bands that are influenced by them for some reason such as Zopp and Tom Penaguin). As regards Camel I'm not a big fan of Breathless or Rain Dances but Nude is another masterpiece on a par with the Mirage to Moonmadness run imo. In general I would much rather dig into Camel's music as they have a lot of great 'deep cuts' and also some excellent later albums. Caravan were probably more ground breaking but that is not always the most imprortant thing for me. |

Camel/tie/tie/Camel/Camel/Caravan/Camel ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

| I'm much more of a Camel than a Caravan fan. Caravan have their moments though. At the end Camel wins 6-1, Girls Who Grow Plump is my favourite Caravan album and beats Rain Dances, even though I like that, too. |

I'll be honest, anything after Round 6, Camel will win hands down, even The Single Factor in all likelihood; Caravan really went downhill after CS... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

all my votes went systematically to Caravan... the closer Camel came was for the debu &, Moonmadness (but Love In Your Eyes made the difference. ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |
