if there was a ratio of influence vs commercial success, Camel  would probably be number 1 on that scale.  They have been and continue to be often mimicked.  By the time this poll closes, you will wish they were still neck and neck!

But Camel is nice, though. I like them. But they're not as good as Rush.

Rush definitely posess a wider amount of technicality as well as three volatile musicians. I admire Geddy Lee for bearing such a recognizable voice and making it vary so different songs don't become monotone nor expectable by the vocals like other groups such as R.E.M.

Talking about vocals too, that's been one of Camel's biggest turn-offs. Dom't take me wrong, I absolutely love Camel, but Rush in my opinion is better. Though not as progressive in the raw way Camel is.

Just check out any DVDs and compare their live performances. Rush live truly blows me away...

Rush.
Mirage and Snow Goose are as good as Rush, but after that they went downhill rapidly. (Yes, I'm a Moonmadness heretic.)
