1.Lady Fantasy 2.Earthrise 3:White Rider 4.Supertwister 5. Freefall. But this can change any day. Some days I like Earthrise over Lady Fantasy, and some days, I like White Rider over the others. Although I was never as crazy about Freefall compared to everything else. Everything on this album is great, and it is probably in my top 5-3 in terms of progressive rock albums.

Can't really vote - depends on my mood. My ears dig all the songs on this album. ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

this joke again?  Not only aren't the songs similar, but Lady Fantasy is the more interesting one IMHO.

Oh, you heard me say that before?
Both songs are broken into three sections, both have a mellow part in the middle and both have long guitar driven jams at the end with a climax. Nope no similarities there.  |

| A very hard choice. I’m voting for Lady Fantasy, but I love the whole album quite the equally. |

I voted for Nimrodel/The Procession/The White Rider, but they're all brilliant. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

It's hard to pick one off of this progressive rock masterpiece, but Supertwister remains an exemplary exposition for my ears. That flute is perfect. It's the perfect snow day prog track for me. ------------- "I am so prog, I listen to concept albums on shuffle." -KMac2021 |

Nimrodel/The Procession/The White Rider All good though. I often feel this album may be their best. Certainly my favourite. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

| When it comes to tracks by Camel that nobody seems to talk about much(underrated tracks), I tend to think about Curiosity from the first album("Sail sail away/There you go/Why not let me come along/I won't tell no one"), Earthrise off of this album, and also Summer Lightning from Breathless("Let's renew all those lovers' ties/Summer lightning in your eyes/It keeps on dancing"). Summer Lightning does not sound completely like Camel, but it still sounds really good. Sounds like Caramel or Camelvan really. |

Lady Fantasy just edges it over the White Rider suite. However the whole album is excellent.

Lady Fantasy. An anthem of prog. ------------- -Will I see you tonight? -I never make plans that far ahead. Casablanca (1942) |

Easily Lady Fantasy, but the whole album is great. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Lady Fantasy for me too. Though I liked better an alternate take that is included as a bonus track on my copy. I read that the version on the album was slightly sped up, and as I understand the version I like better shold keep it's real speed as played, perhaps that's got something to do with it. |

I think the White Rider suite has more in common with Starship Trooper, are you sure the poster didn't mean that one?

I really like the opening rocker Freefall - vocals courtesy of Peter Bardens - though chose Supertwister. But hey, the entire album is great!

Nimrodel..., but the whole album is majestic and easily the band's strongest statement. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |
