I think some people don't fully understand that the Snow Goose is an adaption of a novella by Paul Gallico and that, in order to actually appreciate it fully, you HAVE to have read that story.
It tells a story without words, and that's incredible.
The only vaguely comparable piece I can think of is Peter and the Wolf, which still has to use a narrator to link the instrumental sections.
A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life.

Anyway, until some years ago, The Snow Goose was the most appreciated Camel album. 

It seems like it used to be just like Fragile was the most appreciated Yes album.

When talking about Mirage, it looks in some ways to me similar to and probably at least partly inspired by Khan's Space Shanty, but I find Space Shanty not so little better - even I haven't listened that much to Mirage.

Goose
Moon
Mirage
Camel
Across the evening sky,
all the birds are leaving,
But how can they know,
it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire,
I will still be dreaming,
I have no thought of time.

I'm a fan. I love all of them equally. 
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

How have you reached that conclusion, but if so, it's quite a moon madness to me.
I'm going mostly by polls and ratings on here and ratings on rate your music and maybe some other places as well.

If only to look at the ratings on RYM and PA, Mirage is very clearly the most popular, and it wouldn't suprise me if we haven't seen the best voting for Mirage here yet.
