Tough call, but I'm giving it to Days of Future Past by a hair.  I really love that album, a little more than Sgt. Pepper's.

I know this might sound silly but I think you have to get into what
month in the year each one of these were released.  It just makes
it more exciting.

I'm not denying what influence and innovations The Beatles wrought upon the music world (at least from Revolver, if not Rubber Soul and on - their Can't Buy Me Love era does jack-sh*t for me) - but starting with the arrival of Hayward and Lodge, the Moodies just took the 'everyday' music form, several notches beyond the norm. Even surpassing Lennon and his cronies (IMHO, of course).
I may not listen to them on a regular basis these days, but I couldn't imagine my life without the Big 7 in my collection.
I'm content with Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's, Magical Tour and Abbey Road. That's all I need from the Fab Four.

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.


yeah.. when a group could trademark the term 'classic 7'... 

here is a nice writeup on them from my favorite (sorry Raff LOL) internet reviewer.

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.

DOFP! Sgt. Pepper's is too overrated.

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

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 Big smile

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.

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 :)
