Traffic vs the Moody Blues vs Procol Harum

three bands with debutes in 67 (66 for the Moodys, but their prog debute is in 67),, which of these three pioneers of british prog is your favourite, I can't think of more prolific early bands (that is not Floyd) to be inside PA, maybe also Barcely Harvest James???,

three bands who wrote some of the rules for the development of prog in the late birht before In  the Court of the Crimson King,

I know Canterburry scene also helped the early fassioning and Arthur Brown, but i will focuse on the thee early prog bands who were also very famous...

I'm very familiar with all three bands, and for me it's the Moodies, hands down.  Procol's a not-too-distant second, and Traffic is just kinda eh to me.

Traffic by a distance. Second comes Procol Harum.

I like all 3, but Procol Harum are the marginal winners for me.

The Moody Blues; much more consistent than the other two.

Originally posted by Sumdeus Am I a chump for not being familiar with Traffic? who are they and where do I start?

Moodies for debut and Lost Chord. Don't listen to much of any of those bands though.

The Moody Blues, easy.

love the Moody blues

Procol Harum, easily.
