As this Moody Blues album is widely regarded as their best effort and has actually the same number of votes thany Sgt Peppers in the poll that opposes these two albums, I'd like to know which track on this album is your favorite.

Personnaly, my favorite Moodies album is "In Search of the Lost Chord", but I have to admit the final three tracks from this album are fantastic. My pick would be "The Afternoon: Forever Afternoon (Tuesday?)".

Dawn, but it's all incredible. Amazing how these kind of proto-prog albums still hold up

Night In White Satin is one of my favorite songs of all times.

Forever Afternoon because it's the kind of thing Los Beatles would have written if they'd stayed together. It sounds Beatle-lesque in tone and execution. Probably my favorite Moody song.

I'm actually not that big on "The Sun Set" as a tune but "Twilight Time" is my favourite track (or half of a track? I definitely think of them as two separate tunes though) on DOFP and I figure it needed some love here.

"Dawn Is A Feeling", "Forever Afternoon", "Twilight Time", and "Nights In White Satin". Voted for the first of these.

doing the '2nd best' vote here. Nights in White Satin is simply one of the greatest songs EVER.. much less best on the album

2nd best/favorite...  Dawn is a feeling.. if you ain't feelin' it.. you got no pulse, no heart man.

Twilight Time is phenomenal.

There's a cool Mellotron solo in Peak Hour. Also, the 'surfy' guitar solo from Hayward is killer.
Best track, toss-up between Tuesday Afternoon, and Nights In White Satin.
Amusingly enough, when I was in my early early teens, I thought the song referred to Knights on horseback dressed in white satin clothing instead of armour.......talk about a messed-up kid.......

Nights, a great song, timeless even if it has been played to death.
But as an album I've never been a fan, it pales in comparison to Sgt. Peppers.
