Maybe just maybe if it had been "In Search of the Lost Chord" but it isn't.

Clearly "Zarathustra" ... when it comes to Moody Blues, I prefer their later albums.

hmmm.. good thing I'd love the Moodies album or I'd be a bit hot under the collar hahah

Would you all vote for DoFP over Foxtrot... duh...of course not.  Zarathrustra has been anointed by those who know.. you know.. the smart ones.. to be one of greatest prog albums ever. Musically on par with the greatest prog albums ever done. Like many do with Foxtrot (pff on that.. but fact is people consider thus)

... so are people just so hard wired to not listen.. or care about albums not in English. LOLWink

I think it's "To Our Children's Children's Children" and "Seventh Sojourn" ... but I'm not sure because I haven't listened to them for a long time.

Threshold of a Dream was the one I prefer most.

Zarathustra by quite a way. Never really warmed up to The Moodies.

Zarathustra's pretty good even if it's a bit prone to running out of ideas. I really don't know where I stand on Days of Future Past these days. Will need a relisten to both.

Came out of exile strictly to vote against Micky.Evil Smile That, and Days of Future Past is one of the greatest albums in rock history -- Not just prog, but the entirety of rock. Zarathustra is a wine stain on a checkered Italian table cloth. Or maybe it's marinara. In any case, inconsequential. Thus spake Zarathustra? No, the Übermensch were failures.

Well, we know you cheated in your poll and offered only Tull's 10th best album out of the first ten they released. Otherwise, your Italian pastry chefs would be quite like they are in real life: unemployed. Wink

The Moody Blues, Days of Future Passed.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.
