Your favourite Camel bassist?

 

All wonderful musicians and always important members of Camel, because they were also singers of the band. But every change of bassist brought a change of style.

For me Richard Sinclair's era is their best -but I will always respect Doug Ferguson for Moonmadness and Snow Goose. Also Colin Bass sang perfectly on Pressure Points and later albums, along with David Paton - who played and sang on marvellous "Stationary Traveller".

Please vote!

Wow, now this is an extremely specialized question to throw up to the prog world in general.  I wish I had the time to devote to repeated listenings of all Camels albums so that I could form ideas and opinions about the various bassists' styles. It woud be a dream come true.

The rhythm section on "Snow Goose" is just awesome, especially on the title track (tight as the proverbial monkey's bum).

Wasn't David Paton in Pilot ("oh-oh-oh it's magic") or is that someone else?

Got turned on to them with Raindances followed by Breathless, so Sinclair gets my vote....In fact, I've
enjoyed every project he's been involved with.
