wow.... have to get Renaissance on the board.... Camel to me was an interesting band... sort of middle of the road though... everything from the lyrics/songwriting...the bass.... the keys...to of course the singing  hahha. No contest for me.. Renaissance all the way.

love both, but camel after rain dances were never the same. renaissance have 5 excelent/very good albums from prologue to a song for all seasons; camel has five ones too, from camel to raindances. very difficult choice, but today was not camel's day.
just love john tout and haslam is unbeattable - maybe only agnetha faltskog was up to her at those wonderful times.

I had to admit that Camel was,is nowadays one of the symphonic group that i listened more, But i prefere the album "Schezerade and other Stories",the Renaissance's masterpiece,for the incredible epic called "song of schezerade",better than other camel's epics.Sorry camelists

Both did great albums, though Camel did some more great albums than Renaissance. But the reason why I vote for Camel is that I like them just a little bit more. But the bottomline is: both bands are fantastic.

Camel Vs Renaissance
I think it is a case of Renaissance being underrated more than Camel being overrated. Those who like to rock will gravitate to Latimers great guitar playing.. but other than the 'rock' factor.. Renaissance aces Camel on all fronts. Better instrumentalist.. better lyrics.. more daring (ie prog) compositions and styles. Camel is a fine group..with some good albums even a great classic album of prog (Snow Goose) Renaissance had two classics plus what has to be considered amoung THE greatest of all live prog albums.
