  >>6. Procol Harum-Skip Softly

  Beth,
  I've been a fan of Procol Harum for ages.  Like a few other prog bands, they 
had a very good poet-in-residence write their lyrics.  He and the band 
gradually evolved towards darker, moodier atmospheres, but kept a sense of 
humor throughout.

  That tune is from their 2nd album, Shine on Brightly.  Many folks consider 
that album and the next one, Salty Dog, to be their best.  I like Grand Hotel 
and Broken Barricades the best, then the symphonic live album and the first 
four ablums.  My slightly snide recommendation is to buy their first seven 
albums.

  Check out their history and discography at allmusic.com to see where the 
other sample songs you've liked fit.  Actually, I just took a look there and 
discovered there is a 2003 release of new tunes (AMG's reviewer liked it).  I 
also read the review of the 30th anniv. box set.  Dang! Now I have more Procol 
Harum to buy....

  Happy listening,
  Nick
