 Topic: Best Moody Blues Album
Posted: October 11 2013 at 15:04 |
Just interested to see which is the best Moody Blues album in your opinion so that I know which ones I should listen to to get into them more as I already have their 2nd and 3rd albums but I'm not sure what else to get

... and here I am! To our Childrens'... is probably the best. I would not want to live in a world that did not contain all the albums from Days through Sojourn, though. I would not be here today if it weren't for those albums.

Same here. The Moodies changed the way I listened to music. It's hard to decide which album I like best, it's either To our Children's... or In Search...

Days of Future Passed for me...and hooray for the Moodies for selling King Crimson their first mellotron...In the Court of the Crimson King just wouldn't have been the same with a Hammond in it's place

Count me in for 'Lost Chord', for me, their most magical album.
.....smeg, I forgot about Children's Children's Children.....whichever - both amazing albums.......

Tough choice..........I like Days, Search, Threshold, and Children about the same.
Hmmm....went with In Search Of.....since that was one we played all the time at college.
