They also didn't make Black Moon and In the Hot Seat Wink

No they did not Molly ooops sorry Sean the Sheep :) you wooly fluffy thing! They did however produce Lady Fantasy and only Focus with Eruption can beat that

So many tracks, most stunning guitar tunes too. hug!

And while ELP made In the Hot Seat Camel made great albums like Rajaz and Harbour of Tears.

....aaand it's a tie again.

and I don't want to mention the ELP sleeve designs...

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

It depends on one's preference I guess, if you tend to love guitar tunes more I guess you'll prefer Camel in this case

You fluffy white foxy, Camel had a great guitarist, listen to this if you want, it's really good

ELP didn't although they had very good guests :) Camel - Lady Fantasy [1976] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAfhNaJ9b68

P.S. Don't be fooled by the start

I would beg to differ about High Voltage. Very difficult to pull off music of ELP's complexity when off the road for so long, it was more to do with spectacle and dare I say it, nostalgia. Naturally, I loved it despite the ragged edges and I am sure that was their last concert ever. I have also seen Camel a few times as well and they did go the way of their prog contemporaries in the early 80s by heading towards a more commercial sound. After 'Nude' I gave up on them.

I'm new to Camel. I only discovered them this year but theyr'e f******g fantastic.

Emotion and musicianship in perfect harmony. They create atmospheres like no other band.

I saw ELP at High Voltage in 2010 and they were pretty awful. They were clearly date expired and their music has'nt aged well.

My honest review is that Camel is a snooze fest.

What? ... ELP should be winning? Camel's classic albums are rated much higher here and on RYM, and that comes from large pools of voters, which is why early on my money would have been on Camel.

There's no accounting for taste. Confused

Where exactly?

Uh...here and on RYM?
