Hey man. Yes for sure, and I think they are unique and special. But are they better than Camel? Very tough call. I don't think they have anything that kicks as much total ass as LADY FANTASY, but then nobody else does either so.. there you go.

I don't know... yeah, Lady Fantasy is wonderful, but there are many great songs that I really love from VdGG... at least almost as much... perhaps of the bunch my favourite is indeed Lady Fantasy, but the next 5 spots (to put a number randomly) would be from VdGG. Very different bands, though. |

This is still a close call.

The Division Bell is actually my third favourite Floyd album, just after Wish you were Here and Animals. Momentary Lapse... not so much, though it's still got some of my favourite songs from the band (which I actually prefer in their live versions). |

Can't stand either. But I voted for Camel because I can't stand them less.

Both bands have their merits: The Snow Goose vs. Still Life, Nude vs. Godbluff, Moonmadness vs. H to He, this is thrice contest.
It's a hard choice, but I have leaned more towards VdGG during the last few years, so they get the edge.

You need to have like 40 or 45 posts first, I think it's 40. Anyway, welcome.

^I'm not....lots of Camel fans here...as well as VDGG ones.
If I'm in a mellow mood...Camel for sure...if I'm angry or antsy then VDGG. ;)

Camel for Mirage, Snow Goose etc. Pater Hammill's vocals at times get on my nerves |

Both are very dear to me. Voted Camel, because VdGG has more of stuff I don't exactly enjoy. Right now the score is even, 34 - 34.

I have a soft spot for Camel but VdGG are far more important to me.

I guess I'm not surprised that Camel are rated as highly; I just find them... mostly harmless.

Exactly my opinion of Camel, which is why I am not too fond of them. There are some nice memories associated with "The Snow Goose" though, which is why it is my favourite album of them. Oh, and just in case anyone wonders: I use British spelling, so I don't write "favorite". It is due to my bilingual upbringing; I lived in the UK for some time as a kid. I know the American spelling, but I prefer the British one.
