    Just when Heads were being kicked around, saying none could read, play "real" instruments, or write 'real' music, up popped the Moodies and their otherworldly orchestral stories and adventures on vinyl... Blew that whole theory out of the water. Like all here, I've loved them since their first album.

      I am 71 and still listen to them. I've been getting into Led Zeppelin lately more than I used to when I was young. Depends on what kind of mood I'm in at the time when I listen to both bands. I also like a band that came out in the early 90's called Radiohead. I also listen to a good bit of classical music. I still listen to the Beatles sometimes, especially George Harrison's solo music. John Lennon's music is still pretty good to me. Also like Eric Clapton and Electric Light Orchestra still. There are still other old bands I listen to sometimes but those are the main ones. The most recent band I like quite a bit is Radiohead.

It's the only thing, that there is just too little of". Billy Joel's "Honesty" is another thing that has become so desperately hard to find.

    Powerful and noble spiritual inspiration behind the music and lyrics of the Moody Blues. Perhaps one of the greatest artistic contribution to the world culture in the 20th century. Their music (especially first 7 albums + eighth -- mystical numbers!) in terms of melody-rhythm-harmony + words reflects that what is the highest within the spiritual-cultural evolution of the West, that is, the bright side of the evolution of the consciousness soul (as it is explained by anthroposophicaly oriented spiritual science).

      Sorry to hear about the PTSD. Interesting that you should attribute their music to helping stay away from drugs, as many would say some of the best music of the era was drug inspired. As one who has never done drugs of any kind, my impression is that artists such as Hendrix who did them went down hill in terms of the quality of their music. And I find any so called "psychedelic music" to be boring and unappealing. Would be interesting to know whether the Moody Blues attributed any of their best music to drugs. There certainly seems to be a "spiritual element". As a Christian, it does trouble me a little that my favorite Moodies song is probably "The Actor", in view of the theme of the album it comes from.

    I was a student nurse waiting for the results of my final exams. I went to the training school and found out I had passed! I walked back into the ward and Nights in White Satin was playing on the ward radio. I felt like I was in heaven and whenever I hear that track now, I remember the joy I felt at that moment. That was 1972. I’ve always loved the Moodys. Justin’s voice is so pure.

      Progressive Rock was the construct of the album theme first and the Two or three hits second. Moody Blues early albums, Beetles Abbey Road studio ones, Alan Parsons Project, Pink Floyd, America.... they told a story or had a progressive theme.
      "Days of Future Passed" was my favorite for this method if construct. Alan Parson's Project "Pyramid" (death,loneliness and the afterlife), "Eye in the Sky", and PFs "Dark Side of the Moon" really work as a mental dwelling mood.
      Most pop albums have two anchor songs (one per side) and some also pressed songs. Progressive rock albums were arranged like 60s symphony lps or 60s jazz lps in a story arc.

Grow up with Rock and Roll. From 1957 ay 8 years old ..63 was the first Moody Blues songs I Heard and the Moody blues are in a class of theirs in own. Another great long play album.

      Agree. They are in a class of their own. One wonders "where they came from". None of them appear to have an orchestral background. The Beatles were in a class of their own with so many good songs and they were so good on stage. But none of their songs appear to be "top drawer" for me. Do you agree that from our age vantage points, it is far easier to pick out the best? Of the thousands I have in my library, I have singled out a few hundred of the best. I wanted to put them all on videos but many have been blocked.

    Yesterday before i went to sleep I wanted to listen to a song to celebrate the life of a little cat I rescued at age 4. almost made it to age 12. I had to have her put to sleep 6 days ago. Nights in White Satin came to mind. I love you (Millie) oh how I love you. As I type the tears flow freely... Thank you for 38 minutes of wonderful time with so many beautiful Melodies, precious time needed. I am so very grateful for your posting of these songs for me. xxx Some things are meant to be xxx

      Thanks so much for sharing and sorry to hear about your cat. It's amazing how soothing beautiful music can be in times of trouble, touching us in our inner most being. My favorite in this regard is "Stay with me baby" by the Walker bothers.

      Just last week had to put my beloved Tim, a kitty, to sleep. He was 18. He was ill and having great difficulty getting around. He and I had been inseparable since he joined the family. If only I'd thought about listening to the Moody Blues to help with my pain.

    Still have my vinyl albums. From Days of Future Passed thru Seventh Sojourn, some of the finest music every recorded. I got to see them twice. Always a favorite & just as fresh as ever.

    Justin Hayward's consistency of song writing has never been bettered by anyone. He has simply never written a bad song. A well deserved OBE - unlike some others.

    I have loved this band since the 60's when I first heard them. I was just a young lad and I'm turning 65 this Sunday. They were and have always been one of my favourite bands of all time. Their music is timeless. It's a shame that it took so long for them to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They should have been in there much sooner. No matter, I'm sure they have been in most people's Hall of Fame all along. A magnificent band.
