Steve....you have crossed the line in making me choose between Camel and Caravan.......I'll have to think on this.
You will pay the price.

| Why all the Camel votes? Do people not like Caravan's whimsical nature? |

The hardest of this series of polls. This is something like The Snow Goose vs. Grey and Pink. I vote for Camel. -------------

| Camel for me, they're one of those few bands that never lost their way even if they had a few weak albums, their last couple of albums are simply amazing. |

It takes several Camels to make a Caravan. Or was that a train I don't remember. ------------- Help me I'm falling! |

| Used to think they were both a little lightweight. Maybe they are compared to KC, Magma and VdGG but I still love them both. Camel as I've probably lightened to Mirage more than all the five Caravan albums I got combined. |

I like it very much, but I like Camel's astonishing musicality and emotion even more. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Camel.------------- When he rides, my fears subside. For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |

Camel I enjoy the debut album, Mirage and Moonmadness more than whatever Caravan has ever released.

You have already voted in this poll. Still Caravan though. I prefer every Caravan album up until the plump girls to anything Camel did. That's not to say I don't love the Camel debut and Mirage, because I do...there's just something about those beautiful Sinclairs that trumps the Camel. Richard's vocals, for once, are miles ahead of Latimer imo. Dave's organs on the other hand are the first thing I want after a mini festival weekend of all electronic music. In the Land of Grey and Pink is most likely the first album I pick when I get home...yeah well that or Lucio Battisti's Anima Latina entirely depending on the level of the hangover. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

I like them both, but I had to go with Camel. Besides, at one point they were literally half ex-Caravan members. ------------- https://borealkinship.bandcamp.com/releases" rel="nofollow - My prog band - Boreal Kinship |
