Out of these four, I chose the debut. It holds a special place in my heart and features some of the greatest classic melodic work of any band ever.

I also went for the debut, because it's the more energetic and up-front album of theirs

TBH, I'm not a big Camel fan, especially their symphonic ways and the one I like least is Snowgoose.

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

Pretty much that, but the top three are all so close I have changed my mind on the order a few times.

I feel that Camel really outdid themselves with The Snow Goose. It's my favourite and I think the best as well. I do like all four. Mirage would be my second pick, then maybe the debut followed by Moonmadness (but I have not listened to those in full in many years).

1) The Snow Goose. It's the best album of all time for me.
2) Moonmadness
3) Mirage
4) Camel
Mind you, they're all at least excellent

absolutely love all four, but gone for Mirage

Uhm, I love the present result for The Snow Goose, which I actually didn't expect.

Me neither. I thought Moonmadness would win easily.
