These are two albums that are almost equally highly rated on PA. Which do you prefer?

Mirage, but only just....

Mirage, no doubt, I only very slightly dislike the second half of Lady Fantasy...

Moonmadness for me.  Mirage would equal it but "Lady Fantasy" does not especially enthuse me.

The only Camel albums I own... Mirage for me, just because it's so relentlessly happy, and technical at the same time!

Both are great, but I like Camel making this up-tempo rockin' prog. Voted for Mirage.

I don't think either is great. I prefer Mirage slightly.

Mirage is a masterpiece, while Moonmadness is just a good album.

Mirage by far!

About tracks, maybe Mirage has the best in Lady Fantasy, but as an album MOONMADNESS is a masterpiece. Mirage has two great tracks but the rest in a really inferior level.
 
So I vote for MOONMADNESS
