Renaissance (1978) vs the big guys part 6

In the opinion of a significant minority, Renaissance peaked in 1978 with their at times bombastic at times folkie "A Song for All Seasons".  Even among the majority, the prevailing view is that it was a very good album not quite up to the standards set a few years earlier.  In recent polls, Renaissance steamrolled the Yes and the ELP entry from 1978, and narrowly defeated Gentle Giant's and Genesis' 1978 albums, before falling 27-16 to"Heavy Horses" by Jethro Tull.  I've decided to include Camel in the "big guys" category since they tend to win polls against groups that sold a lot more albums.  Anybody think "Breathless" was their best, or close to their best, good, or mediocre but still better than Renaissance?  Vote and comment on! 

I think these are both underrated (although you're doing your bit for Renaissance obviously).
It's a close call but I go with Breathless here which I love to pieces. (Breathless is something like Camel's Camera Camera, somewhat pop oriented but very creative with many surprises and highlights; I know the latter is not a crowd favourite here either.)

Camel are my favourite band, so for me to vote against them would not be a common occurrence.

Tough call, don't really care for either.

I think, more than telling us about where Renaissance stands, this series might help reinforce the Genesis/Camel worship on PA.  SFAS beats Tormato handily but loses out to Breathless/ATTWT....strange. Now Heavy Horses is at least an album that I know even guys who are not huge fans of Tull enjoy (though not me).

Even if i'm a Camel hard fan, Breathless is not one of my favorite albums. Vote for Renaissance.

For me this is a tie, since both albums have their good moments, even though are not to par with their predecessors, so frankly, after giving it a thought, I cannot choose one over the other. 

A Song for All Seasons (1978) by Renaissance, but I also ike Camel
