Your favorite Camel songs and instrumentals

Maybe I'm hallucinating or too dumb to find another thread like this, so here it is. List your favorite Camel tracks. You don't have to rank them if you don't want to, and you don't have to limit yourself to just ten. It could be five or two hundred, doesn't matter. Care to share why you like them - go for it.
P.S.: I'm working on my list right now. And you can put songs and instrumentals on the same list, doesn't matter.

	I don't know the Camel catalogue inside and out but here's a few that I like. Lady Fantasy Hymn to Her Rhayader Song within a song Never let go Three wishes No easy answer As for instrumentals the whole snow goose album and "three wishes."

	Songs: Nimrodel/The White Rider - anticipates the sound on Moonmadness Air Born - in my opinion, if they were ever to have one track that should have been a radio staple on American classic rock stations, this should have been it. My favorite Camel song from my favorite Camel album. Starlight Ride - a perfect pop song that wouldn't have sounded out of place on Moonmadness. How is this not more famous or more loved by Camel fans? Instrumentals: Lunar Sea - my favorite of their instrumentals from their classic period Ice - the kind of song that David Gilmour probably wishes he had written for his first or second solo albums. A bit MOR-like slickness somehow still doesn't ruin it... The Snow Goose - best thought of as one long piece; hard to isolate single tracks. Along with Moonmadness, my favorite Camel album.

	All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

	^ You mean including Latimer's own and Bardens' own songs, or just the ones they wrote with each other? Edited by Dayvenkirq - July 28 2014 at 20:11

	Oh jeez, here we gooo: Airborn - Just beautiful beyond human comprehension, not unlike the rest of the album. Lady Fantasy - Epic #1. Instrumentals: Homage to the God of Light - Epic #2. Arubaluba - Pure energy. The Snow Goose - All of it. Earthrise - It's just awesome. I hope you enjoyed my super descriptive analysis of my favorite songs.
