Gotta hear "In Held Twas in I"
That one I have heard, although admittedly, I heard the Transatlantic version first.

But let me put it this way.
IQ is only Europa League
Procol Harum is Champions League 
LOL

 The Champions league does not include Burnley to the best of my knowledge 

Quite rightly so, to quote a Procol song Wink

with some very notable exceptions, I have had trouble with neo prog, especially with some of its bigger names, of which IQ is one.  Procol was my gateway group to prog and although I can't say they are one of my top 20 anymore, there are still some tracks that make me remember why they drew me in.  So they easily get my vote

Procol Harum it is!

IQ - no competition. Having said, I have heaps of IQ, only have Home from Procol, nothing I've heard really blows me out from them. I do want to get Shine On Brightly though....

PH, even though I think they're just OK. The little I've heard from IQ has not been my thing at all.
