boys, ELP, Tull, and you know, the usual suspects. I listened to
them recently, but it hasn't fared any better with the years. For
people who haven't the attention span to tackle the real
compositional pinnacles of this time (comparing "Close..." to
"Thick as a Brick" would be more apt), Camel is just fine, but to
suggest that Lady fantasy can hold a candle to THE epic of
early prog is unfathomable. The chords are the same as "Light
my Fire" for god's sake...

I love Camel, and I don't think Lady Fantasy is wimpy at all.  But I do agree that Camel does not compare to any of the groups who created prog rock.  CTTE wins.

Lady fantasy? you have to be kidding me.

Its a great piece but how can one compare that to CTTE.

Whats next, DT's Scenes from a memory  to Gentle Giants Glass house, well thats diffrent in the sense that atleast lady fantasy is good.
