KevinGoldfinger: Camel vs Gentle Giant - early years

Veldin 02.05.25	Sorry your explanations got deleted, that sucks! Both amazing 70s prog bands, but I personally much prefer Gentle Giant
CottonSalad 02.05.25	GG > way more consistent, but just barely higher highs
KevinGoldfinger 02.06.25	It’s interesting cause I found camel to be much more consistent, I think camel wins for me, at least in this era
farmerobama 02.06.25	Sput fucked me so many times when creating a list, that I write everything in a word document before I submit a list, so feel ya. For me it's camel > GG, the first 4 Camel albums are untouchable and have so much emotional weight, they stun me every time
BitterJalapenoJr 02.06.25	I love both but I find myself gravitating to GG more these days. I was a fan of Camel 15-20 years ago but only got into Gentle Giant the past 5 years or so, perhaps that's a factor.
KevinGoldfinger 02.06.25	First 4 camel albums are indeed untouchable! Good idea about the doc.
e210013 02.06.25	You're right, pal. These are two of the greatest prog bands and not only in the classic era. Both are responsible for writing some of the best prog pages ever. About Camel, you've here the best five albums of the 70's and some of their best also. The first four are my favourites too. With Gentle Giant happens the same. These are the best albums of the band, and my favourites too, pratically all are masterpieces. So, great and perfect choice to your list.
