I know a lot of people lump moonmadness in there too and while it is a good album for the purposes of this poll I decided to take it out of the equation. If you prefer MM and don't like these two then by all means mention that in here but I wanted the poll to be a battle between these two especially since these were the first two I heard by the band.

The Snow Goose is in my top 20. Nuff said.

Mirage has a couple of really good tracks - Nimrodel and Lady Fantasy - but the others are fairly average to me. However Snow Goose as a complete work impresses me a lot.

This is one of those rare instances where I have to go with both equally.

I prefer Moonmadness, but Mirage far over The Snow Goose.
I use they/them pronouns (feel free to ask me about this!)

Check out my music on my bandcamp!

Moonmadness is my favorite, and I also love Nod and a wink and Rajaz but def mirage, what a masterpiece. The snow goose is also great however.

Always found Camel a consistently good band. Just two different albums, good in their own way. Personal choice which one you prefer.

Love Snow Goose, but Mirage is the one I play most often and the one that most gets my juices flowing

When it comes to Camel, specially the classic period albums, I have a hard time choose one above the other, so I voted both equally.

Gonna say Mirage because it has my fave song of theirs - Lady Fantasy - though I'm not a huge fan of Camel. Snow Goose still has some solid material too tho.

MacGyver can do a super guitar solo with a broom and an elastic band. Can you do better?
