Every time I see one of these two-album polls pop up again, I have to check to see if I've already voted.

Easy, easy vote for Octopus. GG absolutely on fire. Panurge alone is more interesting than the entire Moonmadness album as far as I am concerned.

Nah, they're both up there for sure! Octopus is the best full-Shulman bro affair, even though I prefer nearly everything that came after because I get off on super-tech/busy stuff LOL   .Moonmadness is Camel at their absolute peak IMHO.

For my money, two of the best prog records of all time (not a particularly hot take eh?), but with that said, Moonmadness IS my favorite record of all time, soooo....

Moonmadness is damn near flawless while Octopus is a lesser 'Giant album for me.

Even though GG is my preferred band, I give this one to Camel. Moonmadness is their best effort IMHO and I prefer In A Glass House and all that came after to most of Octopus anyway.

Gentle Giant is the superior band but Moonmadness is the superior album.
