let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Ok I'm a little late coming into this but I just joined Progarchives yesterday. Love the little nautical tale on top. Interesting to see how many Procol Harum songs have themes related to the sea and exploration. Without wanting to open a PANDORA'S BOX, my top 7 albums are:
1. A Salty Dog 2. Procol Harum 3. Shine on Brightly 4. Grand Hotel 5. Broken Barricades 6. In Concert with Edmonton etc. 7. Exotic Birds & Fruits |

1. Shine on Brightly 2. Home 3. A Salty Dog 4. Broken Barricades 5. Procol Harum (with Whiter Shade and Homburg) 6. Exotic Birds and Fruit 7. Grand Hotel Hah, Procol, they were really great until 1974. The Live in Edmonton was a kinda sinfall, despite being due to the strong song material an enjoyable album, and after Exotic Birds the band lost their momentum, the ideas grew thinner, they lost most of their unusual kind of composing. These 7 albums are all very close qualitywise. Edited by Grubert - December 25 2020 at 15:46 |

I credit Procol with whetting my taste for "serious" music, which was just a small leap to prog, but I wouldn't count them as a favourite anymore. Here is my list
1) Procol Harum 2) Salty Dog 3) Grand Hotel 4) Home can't go further...all the other 70s albums have good songs but as albums, not so much. And, as far as shine on brightly goes (that abominable epic), it's a lucky thing that that didn't kill prog right there in its baby tracks

This was certainly A RUM TALE as it gave my innards a warm feeling to read this latest and best album title story.
My Christmas SHINES ON BRIGHTLY now! Psychedelic Paul is one great SOUVENIR OF LONDON (well, the UK, anyway) that I plan to keep in my treasure chest of Prog forever. And it's an OLD ENGLISH DREAM to meet him someday. He keeps my HOME FIRES BURNING with these musical yarns. I'll be HOLDING ON until next time, to see what tantalizing phrases he has in store for us. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! (full of great Prog music)
