well, imho, King Crimson, Genesis & Van der Graaf Generator are way more interesting than Rush & Camel... also, Yes kinda bore me for being too pompous but their album Relayer is an awesome catch
as for those two you wanted to try, here are my suggestions :
Rush - Moving Pictures
Camel - Mirage
this those two you can't do wrong !
I like something from just about every lineup of King Crimson. The first lineup had ITCotCK, the 1970-72 transitional lineup had Lizard. The Wetton-Buford era had the outstanding Red album and some killer instrumentals from the other 2 albums like Fracture, LTiA pt.1 and 2. The 80s era had Discipline and some great tunes from Beat and Three of a Perfect Pair. Thrak is a great album and while The Construction of Light and The Power To Believe are both weak albums , they atleast have some great instrumentals. I think maybe Crimson should just release an instrumental album because their songs are kind of weak nowadays. King Crimson could possibly even benefit by doing an album with a full orchestra,I know they are hugely influenced by Bela Bartok and Igor Stravinsky.
Tool and The Mars Volta may not be Prog in the classic sence, but I still like them more than any modern day Prog group I know of.

yeah... sure...
too bad they also have the über-pompous Rick Wakeman on the keyboards !
that's probably why I like Relayer the best, Moraz kicked ass and turned Yes into a much better band imo...

Relayer and TFTO are great, but overall, I found yes to be a wee bit tiresome, and their newer stuff, . Amen to prowler 121 and a crown of amaranth.

Wakeman's awesome..
But Rush are gods.
Find me a better/more influential bassist than Geddy Lee.
Dream Theater are also brilliant, but not on the level of Rush.

the line between fusion and prog rock is thin, and while I agree with the devils steed on this one, it could be argued.....

I wouldn't really say that...some prog artists have dabbled in jazz fusion (like King Crimson) however, if a band is primarily jazz fusion and doesn't just experiment with it from time to time, it's still a jazz band.
