On The Threshold of a Dream

Im not quite sure why im posting this but..... Im listening to The Moody Blues' 69 album and the only one i own, Threshold of a Dream and i think its just brilliant!, Every home should have one! I know its only a bit prog but its nice especially side2. Firstly what are your opinions of it? Secondly which MB album should i get next?

I really like 'The Days of Future Passed' which came out in 1967, a few years before 'OTTOAD' I've yet to hear Threshold, but I got 'In search of the Lost Chord' and was a bit dissapointed, so I stopped buying Moody Blues albums.

I'm searching for that definitive Moodies album, which encapsulates the spirit of the band in the early 70's. 'Theshold' may be too 'sixities pop' for me..

Can someone reccomend a good early 70's Moodies album? I'm looking for something a little darker than their early stuff..

Froth, I do reccomemnd 'The Days of Future Passed' it's a concept album, complete with orchestra and poetry. Very innovative for a band so young at the time, and the production is fantastic.

 I have every MB CDS,    GOD IT MUST BE AT LEAST 25 OR SO CDS,  anyway Theshold, is my 2rd most favorite only to  ;;; my best  QUESTIONS OF BALANCE..    SORRY BUT NOT A GOOD LIVE  BAND;;

TO ATKINGANI       THATS WHY THE TITLE OF THEIR 7TH CD IS CALLED SEVETH SOJOURN  OR   ( 7TH JOURNEY) 

A question for all prog fans here :

Which is for you the most really prog album of MOODY BLUES ( of course between 1967-1972) ?

IMO, it's "EVERY GOOD BOY DESERVES FAVOUR" .

P.S. Not their best, but the album that contains the classics progressive elements more than the others albums.

Sorry for my poor English.

Tks, Ranger but now it's too late: I bought them all including "Octave"...

I also have the DVD Hall of Fame made in 2000 and they were fine playing live

TO PAULINDIGO: yes (IMHO).

Well, I only have four out of the first 7 ... the first three plus seventh sojourn ... it always shocks me when people name threshold as a favoured album ... because for me, In Search Of The Lost Chord is one of the greatest albums by any band ever ... I couldn't believe it when I heard it (at that point I just thought Days of Future Passed was going to be the best) ...

I was very disappointed with Threshold ... at first, now I think it's quite good, but still nowhere near Days of Future Passed and certainly not as great as In Search Of The Lost Chord 

one day I must complete the collection with Children's Children, Question Of Balance and Every Good Boy
