Camel - The Snow Goose (1975)

I know just about every note on this LP. I listened to it so much during my teenage years that every tune encapsulates a whole series of memories that instantly come back each time I play the CD version of it now.

Camel made some fine recordings in the '70s. But this is the album they deserve to be remembered by — a conceptual masterpiece that's not only melodically, harmonically and rhythmically challenging and varied in a ceaselessly stimulating way, but also an album that represents the pinnacle of British prog-rock in the '70s. Just amazing how fresh the music still sounds!
