	Hmmm.Tricky one. Trower's guitar v Hayward's guitar - Trower Pinder's keyboards v Brooker's keyboards - Pinder. 'Trontastic. Taking in mind that the above are not the only main facets of both bands,I call this one a draw. Edited by Man Erg - November 30 2007 at 09:44
	Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

	PH's best is better than the Moodies best...but the Moodies wrote more quality material and more memorable melodies so I voted for 'em.

	Thanks for reminding me that I was going to get some of Procol Harum's stuff for ages! They really were an extraordinary band (maybe not the worlds most underrated, though) with a very unique style and I simply have goosebumps running down my back listening to songs like "A Salty Dog" or "Hamburg".

	I've only heard their hit singles. "Whiter Shade Of A Pale" is a much better song than "Nights In White Satin". I'll take a beatiful Leslie Speaker progression over a boring mellotron progression anyday.

	Procol Harum. Duh. Most underrated band on the planet; not only did they pluck a totally unique style from basic sixties white-boy blues, but they single-handedly created prog rock and metal doing it. The Moody Blues? Meh. Nice band, of course. But compared to the Procolers, they were not terribly innovate, and certainly far less technically adequate.
