ice
never let go
fox hill
la princesse prelude
arubaluba
echoes
hopeless anger
coming of age
hym to her
harbour of tears
the snow goose
Nothing can last
there are no second chances.
Never give a day away.
Always live for today.

Have to go for Never let go too (other). Wish Latimer had done more of those but I believe he didn't.

Hmmm, this is difficult because Andy Latimer is so overlooked... personally I prefer him to Gilmour.

I voted for Ice, but there are so many good solos there. Chord Change and Stationary Traveller are other good ones. In fact, Stationary Traveller was my first Camel album and I still think it's a great album even if it is replete with synths... some good songwriting there, even if the style isn't as desirable.

Rhayader Goes to town!!! It is pity this song is not in the list because I am pretty sure it would have won the poll

Ice is my usual answer, but now I went for Straight to My Heart, since I've really grown to love that solo during the few last listens. The highlight of the song is still that one melody at that one point, absolutely stunning.

Although not a very popular song/album here in the archives, the solo for Summer Lightening is very special to me...

As for my doubts, I voted 'other'.
