I wasn't around 40 years ago, but Rain Dances is my favourite Camel album after Mirage.

I wasn't yet born...had to wait until December.

I was expecting nothing but my mother was soon expecting me. I was born two days before Saturday Night Fever opened in theatres. I like to think I single-handedly started Disco Fever. You're welcome.

I had most of this albums, and heard them all. They bring so many fond memories, and I like them all, but if I have to pick one, it will be "Songs From The Wood".

Before my time, but I really do like the quirkiness of Ra, so I chose it expecting that no one else will.

Clap though whoever started the later and much better Urban Cowboy (oh Debra) craze gets two clappies and a heart from me! Those were fun years....



no vote here...  I was too busy enjoying the Saturday Night Fever album myself as was everyone else.. whether they care to admit it or not LOL

It would have been Songs for the Wood but I think Rain Dances has aged very well

Another-Helmut Koellen's solo album, You Won't See Me, released in 1977, though never discovered it until the 2000s.

I was listening to all of those back then and my opinion now is different then it was. 
Today I realize that Animals is the best album on the list.
But in 1977 I was all about RA.

"Communion With The Sun"

Songs, Going, and Animals were all glued to my turntable at this time in frequency of order.

First time I had even heard of Pink Floyd was when as a senior in high school in 1977 a kid brought in a copy of Animals to listen to during art class. Set the direction for my college listening experiences perfectly. Animals it is...
He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore

I voted for Univers Zero's 1313. I remember liking Camel's Rain Dances and Gong's Expresso II, but I haven't played them in so long I can't quite remember them. I love the guitar parts in Motivation Radio, but not so much the songs they occur in.
