Now in this instance I will go for the Moodies. Much appreciation for PH but "Shine on Brightly" is the only album I truly love. Whereas Moody Blues made several of my favorite albums. ------------- a.k.a. H.T. http://riekels.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow - http://riekels.wordpress.com |

Procol for me easily. I have most of their albums but all I need from the Moody's was the greatest hits  ------------- https://wytchcrypt.wixsite.com/mutiny-in-jonestown" rel="nofollow - Mutiny in Jonestown : Progressive Rock Since 1987 |

^ That's too bad. The Moodies (my vote) gave us lots of great album tracks. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Moodies from '67 to '72, far more consistent than Procol. ------------- ...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... |

Moodies by a long way; much more consistent. ------------- A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!! |

| Moodies were more consistent (in their prime at least) and have a more defined sound, but PH have equally impressive highs. Moodies it is, but PH rule too. |

Yes, and it's brilliant. But Procol has Procol Harum, Shine On Brightly, A Salty Dog and Grand Hotel, not to mention some great tracks on Home and Broken Barricades and Live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. That's about 5-1 for Procol as far as I'm concerned.

Procol Harum, even if they did beat my beloved IQ. The Moodies are good, though. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

| Moodys, due to their big 7. Procol had a great first album but was hit and miss after that. They do have a lot of great songs though |

toughest poll for me so far .. but I went with Procol Harum - due to my love for the Grand Hotel album alone. ------------- "I know one thing: that I know nothing" - SpongeBob Socrates |

Procol Harum by so so far. All of their albums are brilliant and I listen to them all the time. IMO, they also had 3 "masterpieces" with Shine On Brightly, Salty Dog, and Grand Hotel (compared to The Moodies who only really had DOFP and then a string of very similar, inferior records). Procol wins any day!

The Moody Blues.------------- 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. |
