| 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. |

Basically the groupings are as follows-within each group the order might be different on a given day: 1-3: top tier 4-7: classic 8-11: post classic but very good 12-14: good but more uneven 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 14. Single Factor

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.

These change from time to time, depending on mood and which albums I've listened to lately. This is the current ranking: 5 star: 1) The Snow Goose 2) Moonmadness 3) Rajaz 4) A Nod and a Wink 5) Stationary Traveller 6) Mirage 7) Nude 4 star: 8) Rain Dances 9) Dust and Dreams 10) Camel 3 star: 11) Harbour of Tears 12) Breathless 13) I Can See Your House From Here 14) The Single Factor ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

| 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?  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.

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. |
Posted By: Cristi
Date Posted: February 04 2022 at 06:55
Top 7 means you rank 7 albums. Ranking the whole discography means you rank all their albums. So there is a difference.

Yes, it would be a difference if forum users rank entire Camel's discography. So far I don't see that. 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. |

A great live band - so include those as well please. 1. Side 1, Greasy Truckers 2. I Can See Your House From Here 3. A Live Record 4. Mirage 5. Moonmadness 6. Rain Dances 7. The Snow Goose 8. Camel 9. Breathless 10. Nude |

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.

It looks like there are some very on-bsessive fanboys here - not just about Triumvirat.  Tops: (no order) Mirage, Debut, Moonmadness a few rungs below: (no order) Goose, Nude, Harbour, Rajaz, Wink, another couple of rung below (no order) Traveller, Breathless, Raindances, Dust, Traveller not even on scale (no order) House, No Redeeming Factor . ------------- 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 |

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! :) |
