1. Days of Future Past
2. In Search of the Lost Chord 3. To Our Children’s Children’s Children 4. A Question of Balance 5. Seventh Sojourn 6. On the Threshold of a Dream 7. Every Good Boy Deserves Favour But apart from Days pretty much always being my number one, there’s really not much in it for the remaining six, and the order I’ve given is somewhat arbitrary. That group of seven albums, though, are far and away their best, as can be seen by the votes so far. |

I was listening to some Moody Blues today so thought I'd see if there is interest in continuing this thread, abandoned almost a year ago! I find their classic 7 albums between 1967 and 1972 almost equally enjoyable, but I rank their first two a little higher because of their creativity and innovatiness for the time. I think the influence of these on prog-rock cannot be overestimated. Afterwards, I feel they essentially repeated a similar formula with moderate, occasional innovation, though still churning out some beautiful music, and each of the 7 album has at least a couple of classic songs.
1. Days of Future Passed 2. In Search of the Lost Chord 3. Seventh Sojourn 4. To our..(descendants..to keep it short :) 5. On the Threshold of a Dream 6. A Question of Balance 7. Every Good Boy...etc. (7th but The Story in Your Eyes is amazing) Edited by Philchem8 - February 06 2022 at 16:45 |

1. Days of Future Passed
2. To Our CCC 3. On the Threshold of a Dream 4. In Search of the Lost Chord 5. Every Good Boy... 6. A Question of Balance 7. Seventh Sojourn Octave has a few decent songs, but the rest of the catalog is popsville. No resemblance to their former prog glory. They were nowhere without Mike Pinder, "The Mellotron King".
