Snow Goose ranks #1 on my list of Camel albums as well (around #30 on my list of Prog Albums).

Both are excellent albums. I slightly prefer the song-writing on Moonmadness, though I think the Snow Goose has a stronger artistic vision.

Yes, both are really good, but I'll go for Moonmadness, simply because it was my first Camel album, and I love it for very personal, sentimental reasons.

I can't stop listening any of the two once started. For its nature Snow Goose has more ups and downs, but I like the same all the first four Camel albums.  Rajaz is at the same level.

"Moonmadness."

Wouldn't it be *awesome* if in fact the band had recorded a vocal version of "Snow Goose" as they had intended, and would see the light of day sometime soon?

I know this band gets knocks for its vocals, but there's something magical about the vocals on this album.

The best album Floyd never made? perhaps.

I like Moonmadness more, but only by a small margin.

Snowgoose for me. However, If you had asked: Snowgoose, Moonmadness, or Mirage, I would've chosen Mirage.

Never really liked Snow Goose much. On the other hand I loved Moonmadness from the off.

I'll take snowgoose, although I think it's a bit over rated. Its got 3-4 solid tracks but lot of it is filler IMO. I'll take Mirage, Rain Dances or the self titled debut album over both anyday

Both great albums.   I also like most of what can found on the first few albums (another way of putting this is that I'm quite happy going through discs 1-3 of the recent box set, while disc 4 (which is to say post-Nude) puts me in iffier territory).

Still Moonmadness definitely feels like their best work to my ears.

Snow goose is the very peak of Camel's career... a particularly good rendition of it can be found in "A Live Record" with orchestra and everything!
