Rush. Both bands have made exactly four must-have albums IMO (Camel's first four and Rush's 2112 through Permanent Waves), and both bands had other very good releases. It's almost a tie for me, but in the end I prefer Rush to a small degree. -------------

Although both are great. I prefer Latimers vocals to Geddy Lee's. Camel doesnt have quite the power of rush but rush doesnt have quite the melody of Camel. |

Interesting poll! 
And a good, close competition between the two.
For me, it has to be Rush.
 Camel are good, but vocally they are weak.
Rush are in my top five all-time bands. So it's no contest.

Always up to your old tricks, I see  .... Anyway, I have my doubts as to whether these two bands can really be compared, since they have very little in common. Obviously, I voted for Rush, who are one of my all-time favourite acts. |

Camel has one of the worst vocalists in Prog, Rush the other one, some might say. Not me, however, as there are other singers I find just as, and in fact more, unappealing.I'm voting for Camel strictly for The Snow Goose due to its glorious lack of vocals. It's actually one of my favourite albums, It's close though, as Hemispheres is very good. I like both bands whilst not being exactly a fan of either. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

| I'm still unsure why people use the adjective 'interesting' in the same sentence as Camel. Camel made some nice undemanding melodic symph prog and arguably one masterpeice (Snow Goose). Rush have released many great albums constantly changing their style and embracing new ideas.They've also written some interesting semi political lyrics. ...so Rush by several thousand country miles. |

Rush by far. Camel (based on what I've heard by them) are very good, but I don't think they were as innovative as the other Classic Prog bands. They seem to me like classic Genesis and Caravan mixed together, though they are very good. Rush is in the top 2 of my favorite bands, and I even like their late material, so they get my vote -------------

People that votes in this thread (as in many other similar ones) has a very controversial point of discussion: they've never heard one of these bands, and just aprecciate the work of the rival band. For example, Zargus posted: "never heard Camel". So why so many people votes in a poll that involves a pair of bands and they've heard just one of these? I'm not an exception: while I've heard all Camel studio albums, I just know enough Moving Pictures and Presto from Rush! What does the poll author think about it? Yeah, a basketball score certainly!

Single Factor was a sell out. Stationary Traveller is one of the best albums of the 80s, a perfect, though unlikely, marriage between prog and new wave. While both groups have weak vocalists, at least Camel's is listenable. |
