I have never been able to experience any emotional- or spiritual attachment to the Moody Blues's more than ample discography. I must have 5-6 their albums, if not twice as many (including CDs), and I don't care enough about them to either listen to-, or to hate them.
Sgt. Pepper

The Moodies also gets my vote, as I always felt Sgt. Peppers was quite overrated, even if A Day in the Life is my all time favorite Beatles song. It just doesn't match the brilliance of Revolver and Abbey Road, which would've won my vote easily against any Moody Blues album.

I went with Sgt Pepper mainly because of A Day In The Life (and a couple of others).
As mentioned already, I thought that Revolver was superior album. I listened to it at least three times a week for the first month I owned it. My only exposure to the Moody Blues then was "Go Now" and "Tuesday Afternoon" on am radio. |

same here - although there's something about 'I know You're out there somewhere" that gets me every time (and it's hardly a good example of a MB song) From what i knew of my friends back in the day, those old MB albums improved with herb :) |

oh man... no one.... I mean NO ONE has a greater love or appreciate of the Beatles.
However (funny as we just listened to it last night) very VERY albums pack the punch DoFP has. While the Sgt Peppers was a historically great album... when you strip the clothes and other finery away... Justin Wayward ... that Melltron and those songs. I just think DoFP is a better album... it hits me hard in the chest while Sgt Peppers hit me in the head. being who I am... I'll take shot to the heart anytime over the head. |

The Moody Blues, brilliant album and start to finish it just rolls so well.....I never really cared for pop music, that album sounds like a circus soundtrack.......BTW, I thought the Beatles never existed, so I read somewhere

Well, bringing this poll back from the dead really went to the advantage of the Moodies!

Sgt Peppers is a bit patchy but it did herald the beginning of what we think of as 'progressive rock'. When the likes of Greg lake , Bob Fripp and Ian Anderson talk about their influences they always mention the importance and influence of this album. However the Moodies made an album that was better to listen to and Justin Hayward has the most sublime voice I've ever heard. So that gets my vote.

^ Y'know - the more I think about it, Hayward's voice is one of the 'golden greats' in the bizz. Not too shabby on guitars either.
The Moodies subtleness and popularity belies their versatile musicianship and incredible creativity. Most of their songs contain amazing attention to detail and cutting-edge sophistication - more folks that are relatively new to Prog, should lend their ears to them. |
