I have only heard "Nights In White Satin" through the media channels that I've ever been exposed to. Are the other ones really that "smash" of a hit?

Though not a hit in my corner of the planet, and I didn't hear it until decades after it was released, I thought I'd vote for Rain and Tears.

Procol Harum. The singles of Aphrodite's Child and the Moody Blues are way too sweet for my taste.

Aphrodite's Child, because of their country.

As a music therapist (in training) Night in White Satin is one of the few prog-related songs I can use. Voted for that.
