I have heard at least 9/14 of their albums at the time, and part of 1(Harbour of Tears). 

9. The Single Factor
8. ICSYHFH
7.Breathless
6.Raindances
5.A Nod And a Wink
4.Moonmadness
3.Debut
2.Snow Goose
1.Mirage 

This can change any day.

It’s quite hard for me, since I love Camel’s music a lot. Depending on the mood I’m in, I could pick any of them.

8-11:  post classic but very good
12-14:  good but more uneven

1. Moonmadness
2. Stationary Traveller
3. Snow Goose
4. I Can see your House...
5. Mirage
6. Breathless
7. Rain Dances
8. Dust and Dreams
9. Nod and a Wink
10. Rajaz
11. Harbour of Tears 
12. Nude
13. Camel

The albums with Bardens are the ones for me. I used to own a copy of Nude and I borrowed Rajaz from a friend so I listened to it a couple of times, to be honest not that impressed. Of the albums I really like I would rank them as

Mirage
Moonmadness
Snow Goose
Rain Dances
Breathless
1st Album

If live albums are included then I'd put A Live Record at no 3.

The Bardens era obviously although 'I Can See Your House' was excellent.  Camel were/are a live proposition as well - often overlooked is the 'God of Light Revisited', their contribution to Greasy Truckers.  Possibly my favourite Camel track.

This thread needs to be moved to "Top 10 and Lists", I don't know why it bothers me, I've become weirdly pedantic, is it a sign of OCD or something? LOL  I'm gonna ask for help with moving it in the right place when an admin is online. 

Difficult thing to do ranking Camel, I know what's at the bottom of the list, the rest is hard to do. Smile

Again, not redundant, kinda rude TBH. 
You don't like the thread theme, don't participate then. Simple as that.

I'm entitled to my opinion. Calling me rude is rude TBH.
Ranking Camel's albums and listing Top 7 Camel's albums is the same concept IMHO.
