I like the debut, but I've admitted only bothered to listen to their first 4

1 The Snow Goose (simply the best album of all time for me)
2 Moonmadness
3 Mirage
4 Rajaz
5 Nude
6 A Nod and a Wink
7 Stationary Traveller
8 Camel
9 Rain Dances

so far, all superb

10 Harbour of Tears
11 Breathless

still good

12 Dust and Dreams
13 I Can See Your House From Here

OK but not great

14 The Single Factor

Every band has a lemon, I guess.

I really suck at choosing favorites, honestly I can't choose between Mirage, Snow Goose, Nude, Rajaz and A Nod And A Wink.

Camel was among my very first bands, long before I even knew what prog was.  All these albums carry a lot of sentimental value with me, except maybe the last few.  I'd have to say that today, if there were one Camel album I would not want to live without, it would be Breathless.  It's departing a bit from their classic proggy sound, so it's debatable whether or not it's their "best", but I'll vote for it anyway.

Of Camel's studio albums, Snow Goose for sure (I'm not a really  big Camel fan, but I just never tire of that album).  My favourite Camel album overall is a Live Record.

from the most popular, to the most underrated, Camel provided in my opinion a more pop feel to their prog rock style (ive never listened to their music besides "Lady Fantasy" awhile ago) now, this episode dedicates to their work. Which is the best out of their output?
