Rank the Camel Albums? Atleast from what you heard - Progressive Rock Music Forum

The Camel albums I've heard... hm..

Well a long long time ago I heard the debut a couple times. Thought it was pretty great.

Then I got Moonmadness, which isn't terribly special to me. Some sick passages, some boring ones, very little to write home about in the vocal department either.

Then I got The Snow Goose, and it was magical. A far superior listen to Moonmadness for sure.

So I'd go

The Snow Goose

Camel

Moonmadness

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

1. Moonmadness

2. Mirage

3. Rajaz

4. Rain Dances

5. A Nod and a Wink

6. The Snow Goose

7. Camel

8. Nude

9. Breathless

10. Dust and Dreams

11. I Can See Your House From Here

12. Stationary Traveller

13. The Single Factor

Don't own, nor have listened to Harbour of Tears, thus not ranked in my list.

It looks like there are some very on-bsessive fanboys here - not just about Triumvirat. Ermm

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Let's open another list and call it Top 10 Camel's albums. It's different, not redundant. We are going to rank 10 albums, instead of 7.

Top 7 thread was created 2 years ago. Top 7 Camel albums list is easy to make, their whole discography though a little bit more difficult. That's the difference between the two threads. I don't mind them both existing.

Now if someone made a Top 10 Camel album thread today, yes, it would be redundant. If someone made it in a few months from now, I say it's not. These two threads already existing would be around only if resurrected I guess (which happens). Otherwise they'd be lost on older pages of Top 10 list section of the forum.

Edit: I spoke too soon, some made a Top 10 Camel. You jinxed it, or that thread was a joke reaction to your post. I stand corrected.

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.
