^Correction, Camel were a good band, but they would have been better if they were metal. Wink

Camel were a great band; therefore, they weren't metal Big smile
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Oh yes Surrogate Smile Roger Dean, made some of the most and iconic album covers, among my favorites are Demons and Wizards plus Magicians Birthday, also the album cover for Budgie is brilliant! ApproveClap

No, no, read carefully what the OP wrote: he said he found a Camel record in a local record store specialized in metal music.

By the way, I would be glad if people stop saying "Helter Skelter" is the first metal track. Each time I read that, I have the vision of people sh*tting on Jimi Hendrix's grave. Angry
Awww you sweet grumpy one! Smile Hendrix and Beatles were '67 and '68, Helter Skelter was released in '68 and the Beatles made it popular by getting it radio plays. Wink
Big hug to you, CPicard Big smileHug

I regret not having bought that Jacula album decades ago. The reason was that Jacula was a quite famous porn-comics character in the 70s (a female vampire) and I actually tought that taking a bus with that album in my hands could have been embarassing...

I wouldn't really consider Hendrix to be metal, just because he plays a hard and mean guitar. Born To Be Wild (June 1968) might be it or Helter Skelter (September 1968) or even Sabbath's first song August 1968) if people don't believe that those two songs really were.

I think I will talk to the owner next time I see him.  I think he's a closet prog fan whose tastes extend beyond metal and has some reflections of this  in his inventory.
More heavy prog, please!

And Genesis is Nu-Metal.
Merci is a Magma pop album. Luckily Phil Collins did retire, otherwise Nu Metal could have been an option LOL
