Camel - one of my favorite prog albums. I'm really into that Thinking Plague album too. Gentle Giant album is good but falls just short of great I haven't been able to get into Comus, but I've tried. Haven't heard Fates Warning. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

You're killing me with this one...Extremis v Mirage v Acquiring v Warrior...all 5 stars in my book...I'm gonna go with In Extremis because...well...because..."Les Etudes d'Organism" is one of the most incredible pieces ever written

Unquestionably Comus for me. My second choice would be Acquiring the Taste. |

Date Posted: December 05 2013 at 11:32
I don't know why, but it's always been my least favourite Thinking Plague album. It was with a History of Madness that Thinking Plague really clicked for me, then I got the earlier ones which I also liked. |

| Although Camel is running away with this I think GG, Comus and Thinking Plague should all receive a ton of votes as those albums are terrific!!! And yes, I voted Camel too. |

Mirage - Camel. One of their very best. However, Acquring the Taste - Gentle Giant is a much closer second than it was a year or so ago. ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

Hawkwind by a clear margin; their best album. then GG, then Comus. "Mirage" is too mainstream for my taste, but I am not surprised it is winning -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

not at all; we like a lot of other stuff, including symphonic prog. but we are definitely not fond of Camel, with the exception of "The Snow Goose" ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

In everyday life I met a couple of people that know who they are. I've rarely seen Camel albums in music stores. If you mean to say they make catchy, accessible prog, go ahead, but not mainstream. :)

it's not the same thing, mainstream means most people would know who they are, bands like Pink Floyd and Rush for instance. Their music is easy to find. :) |

I don't know where you live, but where I live Camel are very easy to find. Rush are more difficult to find than Camel here (though it is not difficult at all to find Rush albums too). from what Friede's brother told me I know that "The Snow Goose" was extremely popular in Germany in the 70s (for a prog album). Genesis were also very popular in Germany in the 70s. Santana, Wishbone Ash, Deep Purple, Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd, Uriah Heep and Jethro Tull were also all very popular acts in Germany in the 70s ------------- A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival.

according to Friede's brother there were two awesome record shops in Cologne in the 70s, Saturn and Merkur (German for "Mercury"). they engaged in a price fight which was nicknamed "Krieg der Planeten" meaning "war of the planets". Merkur finally went bankrupt. Saturn do still exist today and have branches in many other cities; they are the biggest record shop chain in Germany and extended their range of items to kitchenware, photo equipment, computers and other electronic devices like radios, televisions etc. the price fight was of course good for the customers as long as it lasted; Friede's brother was able to build up a huge collection though he was still in high school back then and did not have much money

Hawkwind - Warrior On The Edge Of Time ------------- No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man. |

Crikey! A ten-year-old poll. We must be running short of new polls. One of these days, you might even give one of my old polls a gentle bump. No, what a ridiculous thought. Anyway, I'm predictably voting for Camel again.

It said I already vote in this poll. Not sure what I voted on back in 2013, but today it is Thinking Plague.
