The Mojo 100 Epic Rock Tracks
Mojo
Magazine April 2004Mojo Magazine: Heroic, uplifting and over-the-top, the next ten pages are dedicated to tunes that shamelessly embody all three of these admirable values.

As Freddie would say, Magnifico-o-o!

Procol Harum: A Whiter Shade of Pale Keith Reid's romance from the bottom of a whisky bottle – written after he heard a girl described as having 'turned a whiter shade of pale' at a party – is the original piece of hymnal pop classicism. King Curtis's soulful cover set the mood for Withnail And I. And the fact that the original was used on Diana Moran's Keep Fit With The Green Goddess video in no way detracts from its awesome lighter-waving power. More info: www.procolharum.com |
