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!! http://www.buycdnow.ca/products/Shine-On-Brightly-%252d-Procol-Harum-%28Audio-CD%29-UPC%3A-698458811820.html" rel="nofollow">

| 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. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

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. ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

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.

Procol Harum are part of my early years. ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

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. |
