 Topic: Shine On Brightly or Arthur Brown (album)
Posted: February 21 2014 at 10:33 |
Hey again  another poll about 2 albums: "Shine On Brightly" and "The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown" (pictures of albums below). Both are favourites of mine, and are very similar. Both are psychedelic-influenced albums from 1968 with a theme running through them, and both rated around 4.05. Simply enter which is your favourite and comment why if you like 
Mine is Procol's "Shine On Brightly", by quite a way (although I love the other). Very consistent, great blends of blues, baroque, and a very progressive flavour, and how could you forgot "In Held 'Twas In I"! (listen to it if you haven't before ) Definitely in my top 5 albums of all-time (possibly 3rd) - Procol's magnum opus! 
As always, thanks for any feedback!!

Never been a fan of Procol Harum, on the other hand I'm pretty crazy about Arthur Brown.

The Arthur Brown debut, hands down. I like that Procol Harum album a lot, but it is no match for my undying love of Mr Brown's fiery take on psychedelic rock and a kind of pop music I've never heard the likes of since.

Although the single "Fire" is one of the great songs of the 60s, I will have to go with the album Shine on Brightly as a whole.

I'm a fan of both albums. That Procol album is an all-time favorite though (gave it a 5 star review here), so I'm voting for that.

I have to say I'm in the same boat here. I recently bought a pristine original LP of 'Home' for next to nothing, my 3rd try with a Procol album in 20 years (thereabouts) , and I am still underwhelmed. Crazy World on the other hand......

I like both, but I'll vote for The Crazy World of Arthur Brown.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.
