I've got 'Days of Future Passed' on vinyl. I haven't listened to it for years but I really really really love 'Nights in White Satin' and have done ever since I was a kid. I'm not really sure why The Moody Blues are considered so uncool but then I'm not really sure what constitutes 'cool'! A much under-rated band imho.


I think the problem was that they couldn't Rock Out and they couldn't really Prog Out either. They also dressed like refugees from the James Last Orchestra.

When they try and rock it is kind of embarassing but when they do their bucolic folk / psych-lite thing they are pretty good. Sometimes great. Half of "Threshold of a Dream" for example is magical the other hald is absolutely toe-curling.


What I found was that even the toe curling bits sounded amazing when under the influence!
