i like a lot of prog but those are the last six cds i have gotten. 

camel's debut, VDGG - the least we can do is wave to each other, GG - three friends, caravan - in the land of grey and pink, eloy's "inside" and focus - moving waves.  But actually I lied:  i got VDGG two weeks ago.  I ment to put Gong - Angels Egg.  Oh well.

Time To Turn/Planets

I voted Camel mainly on the strength of Mirage, Snowgoose and Moonmadness.

Then in this order..

Focus, VDGG, Gentle Giant, Caravan..

Dont know anything about Eloy, I must admit. I'll have to do some homework.

Camel!

I saw them at Salford University in the late seventies and they where a great band live. I was stoned and the whole scene was different to the majority of other bands I'd seen. It was very polite and chilled and people wore Kafkans and didnt head-bang or boogie they kinda wobbled knowingly! Andy Latimer was coooool!Cool

Focus are worth getting to know. They can be a little erratic, but they always had a great guitar driven sound and a likeable eccentric Dutch vibe about them.

I reccomend 'Focus 3' and 'Hamburger Cocerto'

I was going for Camel till I noticed Caravan were sitting on a duck. I love both about the same, and they are related.

Camel! No question about it... I received from the band commanded by Andrew Latimer, my primary indoctrination to symphonic prog rock. One of my favorite bands, ever. One of my all time favorite albums is also by Camel. They represent much of that essential initiation I had towards prog rock. Long live the Camel!
