Ranking Every Single Camel Song

I've decided to go through the grueling undertaking of ranking every single Camel song from worst to best, i'll be posting 6 a day starting with my least favorites. Now lets immediately make it clear, this is not an objective ranking. This is how I personally would rank every song and thus, there are going to be placements you probably don't agree with and that's alright. Also, it's important to note that there is a margin for error here. As in, if I sat down right now and listened to all of these songs in a row the ranking would probably end up pretty different. I'm going to make it clear now and say that I like pretty much all of these songs, so if you see one you like near the middle or even on the somewhat lower end, I probably like it as well and that'll be made clear because i'm going to do a short write-up for every song, they will probably get longer over the course of the list as I start to have more and more to say about the songs I like. I also left a couple tracks exempt mostly due to short length and for some of the concept "suite" tracks I just combined them, here's a list of those tracks:

Survival (I Can See Your House)

Lullabye (The Single Factor)

Let us begin!

113: Remote Romance (I Can See Your House From Here)

This is.... Camel? Painfully cheesy and just an extremely wimpy attempt at a hit song. Somehow Kit Watkins still stands out with his unique and distinct tones. That's really the only nice thing I can say though, I really can't stand this song and the fact its wedged between Hymn to Her and Ice surely doesn't help.

112: Your Love is Stranger than Mine (I Can See Your House From Here)

I can somewhat echo the same sentiments I said about Remote Romance for this song, albeit this one is a bit more listenable to me. Just painfully cheesy, wimpy and Mel Collins cant even save it.

111; The Homecoming (Nude)

I really enjoy Nude, but at the end of the day this is just marching band music and while it works perfectly fine in the context of the album, nobody is going to listen to this track on its own.

110: Rainbows End (Breathless)

A bit of an underwhelming conclusion to an album I dearly love. I believe it's about Peter Bardens departure from the band, while the subject matter can make me gain an appreciation for it, there's just something off about it that for me makes it stick out like a sore thumb on the album. Perhaps because it's so melancholy on an otherwise very pleasent and upbeat sounding album. I'm also not sure about that falsetto in the chorus.

109: Rain Dances (Rain Dances)

Sort of similar to Rainbows End for me. We got this weird instrumental and somewhat orchestral reprise of First Light. While I don't have anything particularly negative to say about it, it's really just a shrug to me.

108: Hearts Desire/End Peace (The Single Factor)

A decent and kinda atmospheric instrumental to close out the album. But really, I find it just bland and forgettable. It's pleasent when i'm listening to it, but I just listened to it 3 times tonight and I couldn't tell you how it goes.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's all For Today (Nods and Winks), I don't like writing negatively about Camel, but these tracks are the bottom of the barrel for me. I'll be back tomorrow with 6 more songs ranked! Also, join the discord if you haven't!
