What a great band.....listening to A Question Of Balance as I write this.....some prog fans I know tend to dismiss them as being light weight but I never tire of playing their classic albums. Their music holds such memories for me...I grew up listening to them.....when I started college in 1969 they already had 3 or 4 great concept lp's out.

I feel the same way. I could have easily listed five more. I won't though because I don't want to confuse anyone.

Am I right in thinking Gypsy is your first choice (with 6 points) and House of Four Doors is your fifth choice (with 1 point)? I just want to be sure before I add your votes on.

1.  New Horizons
2.  Gypsy
3.  Question
4.  My Song
5.  Ride my See Saw

if I was picking a non ensemble Moodys song it would definitely be "Forever Autumn" performed by Justin Hayward on Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds.  It might even make that top 5.

Moody Blues live concerts include performances of Forever Autumn, which to me qualifies it as a Moody Blues song.

^^ You're welcome to choose "Forever Autumn" as one of your Top 5 songs, seeing as I've already chosen "Blue Guitar" as one of my Top 5 Moody Blues songs. Smile
 I'm just waiting for Blacksword to reply to my earlier question before I add both of your votes onto the total.

I'm not going to insert "Forever Autumn" as it would bump off the delightful "Ride my See Saw"
