"A Whiter Shade of Pale" by Procol Harum

Procol Harum & the Moody Blues were both bands that began the progressive rock genre in 1967. Although the Moody Blues would continue to make better and better albums, Procol Harum's talent was short lived. Procol Harum's eponymous 1967 album is actually one of my favorite albums to listen to from beginning to end. I can't explain why. I didn't grow up with this album, but I find the melodies and the lyrics quite appealing.
