I can understand why the art rock of Roxy Music holds such affection for many.... but I never took to it beyond a few tracks. Camel wins this by a galactic mile, despite their ups and downs over the years.

I do enjoy albums such as For Your Pleasure and Avalon by Roxy Music, which I own.
But it's Camel by such a large margin it isn't fair

I like both, and almost feel like Cry, Cry, Cry-ing for Roxy Music as it is getting Camel-humped in this poll, but I also vote for Camel.

Camel wins polls against the likes of ELP and Gentle Giant....can't see them winning this one by less than a landslide

The first four or five Roxy Music albums were great, I particularly love Country Life and For Your Pleasure. Never cared for Camel.

Yep. No contest. The humped one is the only choice here.

Camel music is so boring... getting sleepy just thinking about them. Roxy Music hands down for me!

Some Roxy is very good, but Camel is just amazing.

Though I really like Roxy Music, Camel takes my vote, without a doubt.

Love them both but voted Roxy because I consider more of their albums great (the 1st 5) than Camel (Mirage & Moonmadness)

Roxy Music with Eno and maybe a small handful with Jobson, but Camel is too safe and nice for my tastes, sappy, even.
