Good times. I wish there was more stuff like Camel.


Cool. MIRAGE was the first album that I am going to buy from them. Have not explored CAMEL yet. Never got the urge since I'm not really the hugest fan of 70's prog outside of GENESIS and FLOYD.

Cool list, looking at it 50 actually doesn't seem like that much.

My top 20 in chronological order:
Mystic Queen, Arubaluba, Freefall, Supertwister, Nimrodel, Earthrise, Lady Fantasy, Rhayader, Rhayader Goes to Town, Sanctuary, Fritha, The Snow Goose, Friendship, Migration, Flight of the Snow Goose, Fritha Alone, La Princesse Perdue, Song Within a Song, Air Born, Lunar Sea

All are from the albums Camel through Moonmadness, not that I think they sucked after that, I'm just a lot more familiar with these. The Snow Goose is by far my favorite, despite the fact that I put every song from Mirage on my list.

I'm 17 years old, and Camel is easily in my top 5 favorite prog bands. They are an ageless band if there ever was one.

That said, I don't have the time to write out my top 50, but my favorite albums are as follows(in order)

- Moonmadness
- The Snow Goose
- Nude
- Mirage
- Camel(self titled)

Yeah, it takes a lot of time to arrive at a list which you feel content with. It will have to be a work in progress. I started doing this several months ago. I also have this habit of putting comments on albums in documents, and labelling songs with different terms like "ok++" , "good" and so on. But I sorted everything that was good in four categories of goodness, and went over each list many times. It was fun.

Ice and Stationary Traveller is similar songs, there's too much "wallowing" in simple minor key harmonies for me.
I have heard "A Nod and A Wink" on streaming services. It's not a good album to me........ I like "Fox Hill" the most on that album. I guess it would have ended up at place 83 , beneath "Please come home" if the list would continue that far.
 
Metrognome and Unevensong are two other songs I guess most Camel fans would have included, but they ended up outside my top 50.

I've read a bunch of Allmusic reviews from the few folks they got, and gotta say there seems to be no rhyme or reason. Not that I agree or disagree, but Pain of Salvation's the Perfect Element gets three stars while the (supposedly cheaper imitation of Remedy Lane) gets the 4 and a half + AMG Pick.

I think, as music critique goes, I stick and bop around with Mark Prindle and George Starostin. :P

Reading the reviews are even weirder. Mirage and Breatless sound  like they both deserve about *** 1/2, but apparently the the former is a lowpoint in their career and the latter a near masterpiece.
 
Here's how the review of I Can See Your House From Here's starts:

Although not an honest representation of the band's character, this is undoubtedly their most popular work...

Really? Snow Goose and Moonmadness are both certified silver, reached top 20 and stayed a while in the charts (so did Mirage) while their most "popular" work peaked at #45. It's also a mystery how their most popular work has the lowest rating and the lowest amount of ratings on both of the biggest fansites: PA and RYM.

And sorry for being a total geek here, but I do feel somehow its in the spirit of the opening post. I couldn't make a top fifty, but I do know my list would be the exact opposite of the folks over at Allmusic.


Yes, I know.

I really like Allmusic, but their Camel entry is by far the weirdest one I found on their site. It is just the opinion of a few reviewers, whereas on ProgArchives there's a much better balance in the reviews. It really is a strange list from AllMusic, and I even thought once if I should send an e-mail to them because their preferences are enormously different from the opinion of most serious rock reviewers.

13. Rhayader Goes to Town (5:20)                                                              The Snow Goose (1975)


About 78 minutes. As you can see, I'm not the biggest fan, but I like them for their gentle melancholy. Kind of rare in prog. I love Mirage (obviously), though.

Okay, I think that the objectors are right, a top 50 is a bit too much for me too.
It is tougher than I thought it would be.

2. Lunar Sea (Moonmadness)
3. The Sleeper (Breathless)

Notice the track lengths ... If you put them together, maybe it won't even exceed the length of "Close to the Edge". Smile
All these short songs is another reason for doing a long list.
 
It's great to play all these songs in shuffle mode. You realize how varied the songs are, such an abundance of original melodies, harmonies, great solos, rhythms and tempos. 
 
With Camel the listening and re-revaluating of songs has mostly led me to appreciate the songs more. Camel only gets better with repeated listens, very rarely it turns out that "this song isn't that good after all"...

Good project, and 50 songs is not over the top at all. As years go by, I start to appreciate Camel more and more.

I'm quite busy these days, but if I can find the time, I might come up with a top 50 myself.

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.

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.
