1 - nimrodel
2 - the snow goose (the whole album is one song for me but i also have to mention that i'm talking about the live version on "A Live Record" - i can't get into the studio version though)

sorry but it's too hard to pick a best-of because camel did really great stuff but most of the songs are weak when they aren't put into context (by context i mean the whole album)
