I voted GG cause the run of albums all the way up to Free Hand is incredible, though I like Mirage more than any GG album.

Some Gentle Giant albums are fantastic, like Acquiring The Taste and Three Friends, but Camel has the albums from Mirage up to and including Rain Dances, Nude, and some brilliant tracks still on albums like Breathless and The Single Factor, and... and...
My vote goes to Camel

Since Camel completed the important task of knocking off ELP they can now be retired.

The first clip is not representative of Camel.  Wink  Camel gives me more enjoyment.  More refreshing.

He is coming;
Hear him coming;
Are you ready
For his being?

Feel the Giant

Gentle Giant. Camel is not anywhere near the same level.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...
