Don't understand who would pick Moonmadness as the best of this batch. The Snow Goose is quite nice but the albums where they write lyrics and sing them are not.

Will Romano's book Mountains Come Out of the Sky lists Moonmadness as the 5th best/most important prog album, but I thought his love of Camel was a personal peculiarity, not a trend.

Camel a big favourite for White Van Man Prog along with Yes and ELP. Must be the stoner feel to it.

They're apparently a big influence on neo-prog bands, maybe it's the straightforwardness that they find easier to emulate than the more arcane or complex stuff.
