Oh you mean the early one with "Go now" on it? I see it's called the Magnificent Moodies. I haven't heard it but apparently it's very different than the later stuff. Also, don't forget the Blue Jays album too. Someone mentioned Barclay James Harvest. Strawbs are another band you might enjoy. Also, the very first Genesis album is sort of a like a weird Moody Blues. Lol. OK, that's about it. Enjoy!

Wow, yeah we definitely disagree on those two albums but yeah maybe after a couple more listens I'll start to like Sur la Mer better, that could certainly be. And thanks for the recommendation I'll have to check that one out sometime. I think tomorrow night I might listen to their debut album! Haven't heard that one yet. It must not be that good since it's not considered a 'core seven' album but we'll see.

Well, I personally think TOSOL is the album with filler(the last two tracks in particular). I don't really remember any filler on Sur La Mer. I think "vintage wine" was a good song and so was "deep"(the last track). I can understand people not liking some of the songs though. Everyone has different tastes. Yeah, imo don't even bother with the later albums. Check out Jeff Wayne's "war of the worlds" album instead. Justin Hayward sings a few tracks on there. You might think it's a bit cheesy(mainly because of the discoey beats which pop up at times but hey what do you want it is from 1978) but it has a pretty high rating on here so it's at least worth checking out(plus I liked it although I haven't heard it in a while).

Yeah after the first few songs it was filler Heaven lol. But I guess every band is entitled one album like that. But the later ones too huh? Oh well, it was a good run anyway. And no my opinion is that TOSOL is a lot better. But again, just one person's opinion after only listening to each album once lol.

I Just looked it up. It's on Stationary Traveller(one I haven't heard yet). As for TMB I guess you were talking about Sur La Mer. It might grow on you. I think it's maybe only slightly weaker than The other side of life but that's just my opinion. ANyway, if you didn't like it then definitely don't check out any of the later ones. Then again I was wrong about you liking that one(sur la mer) apparently so it's up to you. Just look at the ratings on here though. That should give you a hint.

Ok finally a VERY mediocre album from the Moody Blues. I was beginning to wonder if they were human for a minute there lol.

I'll have to check out this West Berlin song, I'm surprised it's not ringing a bell for me. I'm certain it's not on Mirage at least. Probably on Breathless or something like that. Anyway the Title track from TOSOL I've literally only heard once but I remember it being good(along with several others on that same album). Ok now to go listen to Sur la Mer. Maybe finally a weak album from them? We'll see a minute.

I absolutely love the title track. It’s gotta be a top 50 song for me. Similarly, I love Camel’s “West Berlin”. Songs like that do something for me.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. HolyMoly, yes if you go in not expecting too much then I do think you'll like it. Cosmiclawnmower, I like Barclay James Harvest a lot too. My favorite album from them is Time Honoured Ghosts. And Paul, later albums are good too? Cool man, I'll check those out at some point also then.. Right on. I'll listen to the whole freakin discography lol. Ok, I'm off to listen to The Present now. That seems to be the most recommended here. See how this goes.
