The early Camel albums poll gave me the idea to create the follow up to it, a sequel if I may say so.  So which is your favorite album out of these?

I'm staying put with Stationary Traveller, at least for the time being before moving on. I was a stationery traveller at one time when I delivered mail.

Of these I prefer Nude and Stationary Traveller. There are some great songs on the latter, but also some average ones. Will go for Nude... ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

Breathless fan here... I mean I see how people might not like the odd song of it, but it is super-playful and fun and has highlights that are second to none. |

Toss up between Nude and Rain Dances. Going to go with the former this time. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

My favorite era of the band - all of these (except maybe Single Factor) are indispensable to me. Voted for Breathless. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Between Nude and Breathless for me. But by a small margin: Nude. ------------- Oh, for the wings of any bird, other than a battery hen |

Nude all the way. It’s the only one of these I enjoyed enough to purchase, and the only Camel I own other than their first four albums. That’s not to say I don’t like any of the others, so much as I don’t like them enough to spend money on them, when there is so much out there I want, and so little money to spend. 🤷🏻♂️ ------------- https://tinyurl.com/nickhnz-tpa" rel="nofollow - Reviewer for The Progressive Aspect |

| 'I Can See Your House' - my first Camel gig, we organised a coach trip from college to go and see them in Leicester. I can remember seeing the stage with the two keyboard set up. Love the album. |

| Rain Dances and Nude for a tie on my book. I actually like them all, but these two are my favorites. |

| Rain Dances. As for the rest, I can't understand why Nude gets so many votes and TSF none. |

Rain Dances has that spot on the cashmir that the cleaners can't get out - Highways of the Sun. Nude was a return to form with the great Duncan Mackay on the keys (no, I didn't forget Schelhaas and Watkins). ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

Rain Dances Nude Stationary Breathless/ House tie Single ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

Rain Dances is perfect for what it is (and the one I voted for) Breathless and I Can See Your House From Here are great as well. Nude is good The Single Factor is rather weak imo. I only enjoy a couple of tracks from it. Stationary Traveller is really good
