 Topic: Favorite Camel Lineup!!Posted: July 01 2012 at 03:05 |

Hey everyone, I'm interested to see what people thinnk Camel's best lineup is... besides the Latimer/Bardens/Ferguson/Ward lineup. Personally my favorite would be Latimer/Bardens/Sinclair/Ward/Collins because I think Mel Collins added something truly unique to the Rain Dances album, especially on First Light. Also the addition of Richard Sinclair gave the album a slight canterbury feel to it. I'm guessing either this lineup or the lineup from their two latest albums will be the favorite. Thanks!
 Sinclair/Ward/Bardens/Latimer/Collins

I really like the Collins/Sinclair lineup too. I probably listen to Breathless as much as or more than any other Camel album.

I love the Raindances/Breathless era. Sinclair is one of my fave musicians. Fine voice, composer and bass player.

Hard to choose between the early line-up and the Raindances / Breathless line-up.
A year ago I would have said: early line-up, but since I discovered the magnificent playing on & sound of "The Sleeper" from Breathless, I wonder if they ever did better than that. |

Cant beat the original line-up but Collins/Sinclair era produced some good stuff too eg Echoes/Breathless.
However, my personal fave album after the Mirage/Snow Goose/Moonmadness era is "Nude" from 1981. The line-up for this was:
Ward/Latimer/ Colin Bass/Kit Watkins / Jan Schelhaas

I'm going to have to listen to Raindances again. I bought it some years ago, and played it twice. At that time I'd not heard anything quite so dull. Some people love it, obviously. I must be missing something.
My favourite line up is the Mirage/Moonmadness line up. |

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

The original lineup, of course. Mirage, Snow Goose, and Moonmadness are still their best albums, IMO

Agreed, Rain Dances is such a fine jazzy prog album. Breathless is rather hit-and-miss though.

Got to be the original line up - no question about it. The last Camel album I brought was I Can See Your House From Here which has not been played that often. Something changed for me once the late Peter Bardens left the band.

Collins/Sinclair for me too. Also, around 1979 Dave Sinclair sat at the keyboards for a while........

I actually have all the albums, but I only really listen to the ones by the classic lineup. There's something missing with some of the later ones. Mirage, Snow Goose, and Moonmadness still can't be beaten.
