Procol Harum released one great song, "A Whiter Shade Pale," and then formed a band that could continue to reap the success of that song for the next ten years. I know that's pretty harsh, but how many Procol Harum hits can you name? (If you said "Pandora's Box," give yourself a star.) Though many consider them a prog band, they're really on the progriphery. Ambition they had (just check out the live album with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra), but if you usher in Procol Harum to the hallowed hall, you leave the door open for Elton John, Blood Sweat & Tears and other unsavory characters. And you don't want to do that, do you?
