I thought this would be interesting since recently there was a poll putting these bands against each other, both of these guys debut albums are rated about the same, just under the 4.0 mark. I personally choose camel, such an awesome album.

This time, Gentle Giant gets my vote, but not by much.

For me GG only has two highlights - Nothing at All and Funny Ways (and the Playing the Fool version of the latter is superior anyway). Camel is not up to their later standards (Mirage etc) and nowhere near GG's best, but I'm going with the Camel debut for this one.

MacGyver can do a super guitar solo with a broom and an elastic band. Can you do better?

GG is a strong debut , one of the best along with EL&P and King Crimson. Camel really hit their stride with Mirage.

Camel for sure
|

All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

Mirage is a backwards step after the debut. Fantasy is pretty crappy after the first minute.

I haven't heard Camel's debut, but I do have heard a few songs that I like a lot. And I do know and love Gentle Giant's debut.

I have only heard each of these albums once or twice so no vote from me since I'm not familiar with them enough.

I love GG debut. Their best album, imo. Don't consider Camel debut a great album.
So I voted for GG |

Both are less-than-stellar compared to their later releases, and both are two of my favorite prog bands ever, but...
Gentle Giant by a large margin on this one.
