If you like grand piano and organ AT THE SAME MOTHERFUCKING PSYCHEDELIC TIME, then yes.

This is quite good:

Wow. Thanks for the excellent recommendations!

I also found a song called "A Christmas Camel" that is pretty sweet.

Yea okay, there's a ton of songs just as good if not better, christ. For a couple years Procol Harum was at the top of my BANDS THAT I ABSOLUTELY ADORE list, and they inspired a lot of my musical tastes for pretty much all of my adult life. Some of their albums are more accessible to the general public than others. "A Salty Dog" and "Broken Barricades" are both albums that I think most of the older generation will remember, besides their first self-entitled album.

My absolute favorite song from them, from my favorite album, and one of my favorite songs of all time, "Salty Dog":

Other great ones:

"Milk of Human Kindness"

"Homburg" (my dad's second favorite next to A Salty Dog)

"Simple Sister"

I'm going to stop myself because I'll just be filling the whole page with YouTube links.

If you like some of these suggestions, I suggest picking up "Procol Harum" and "A Salty Dog" to test the waters.
