It is, but as I started , it grew into a big project and I couldnt stop it. I couldnt do a top 20 , there was too many good songs that was competing , I assembled them and made a list and it turned out to be a top 50 list.

Haha, yeah actually the list continues to 70, and Aristillus was gradually moved down and ended up at place 62 ......
"Another Night" is not a very good track to me though...
 
I'm sure that the list includes som unexpected inclusions and exclusions...

I couldn't even muster my 50 favorite Queensryche songs and they're one of my top ten favorite groups, let alone a band I never really cared for like Camel.

I was originally intending to do a top 20 list, but it became a top 50 list instead. I thought there were a top 20 thread somewhere, but I couldn't find a single top Camel tracks thread! At last it's ready (I think) after comparing each song with each song, moving them up and down in the list....
 
I  list the albums because it gives a better orientation, you can check out how songs from a particular album are "ranked" and you can quickly see which albums are not included, or less represented, or well represented. You can use ctrl+f to search for "mirage" (or anything) and jump between places in the list.
 
Íf you feel like going through the trouble you can post your own list! Or if rather doing a top 20 or top 10 list, maybe it's better to have a separate topic for that.

51. Cotton Camp (2:55)                                                                             Dust And Dreams (1984)

There are two songs in Nude were the break between those tracks isn't very well placed. ´"The birthday cake is only 30 seconds, but continues for another half minute in "The last farewell". Birthday cake should have continued and contained the first 34 seconds of Nudes return, which would have started with the drum fill IMO. I thought of skipping those two songs, because I only wanted that minute of music, and not really "Nude's Return". But I like that section : ) . The list ended up being 51 songs, but maybe it's okay since Nudes Return shouldnt really be included.
