The plethora of music that flooded my ears and the world. I was a freshman in high school when this group hit the racks. A true symphony for the ages. It amazes me how much high quality and variety existed back then compared to today's music scene, which though has some variety, today has just a small fraction of musical styles by comparison. Willie Nelson was hip, Santana ruled the latin beat, Chicago was like a Big Band jazz sound, Jimi stretched the heavens, Crosby, Still and Nash calmed souls, Jefferson Airplane inspired new heights of enlightenment, the Beatles metamorphed with every new album until their candle ran out of wax, and in the middle of all of that we all just grooved to the sweet lovin sounds of Motown that kept us in touch with what our minority brothers were feeling at the time, The World is A Ghetto according to War, Little Stevie Wonder gave us soul, but challenged us spiritually to do the right thing, everyone got along with everyone, for the most part, at least on the surface, at public gatherings and all unitl those gawdawful Angels from Hell destroyed the flames at Altamont. But in spite of all we've been through and are still going through, the world is still a beautiful place, Srive to be happy, brothers and sisters. [ Reply ]

kingart Feb 04, 2013 - 14:55	Somehow this sounds more sophisticated than the year of its release would suggest. I had forgotten it was a '67 project. If Bill hadn't included its year, I may have assumed it was a '70ish vintage. Sort of the same aesthetic as Sgt. Pepper's — unconventional, symphonic elements of sound and structure, image and story — but less poppy than Pepper. Amazing it has such staying power, but then, it still shines some of the wonderful light that streamed through the doors opened by all that hash and acid. [ Reply ]

unclehud Feb 04, 2013 - 14:42	Too bad for all y'all folks that are growing old; this song affects me the same way it did back in high school. I'm still 17, in the back seat of her Dad's Riviera listening to this on the car's high-tech cassette deck. [ Reply ]
dougmbrown Jan 04, 2013 - 06:39	Amazing what sounded advanced to me ~40 years ago. And just sounds trite now. I was quite hooked on the Moody Blues in the late 60s/early 70s, but that certainly has worn off by the time 1980 rolled around. Prefer so much of your other content that I'll acknowledge that others enjoy this (more than I). However, your do a GREAT job programming Bill. Thank you for that! PS - Just found my vinyl copy of "Go Now" from 1964. Now I truly feel old! There's probably some word play I should be doing about Days of Future Passed. [ Reply ]

ziakut Jan 04, 2013 - 06:33	I sorta like the atmosphere this tune creates...but then it is over bloated, like much of MB tunes. [ Reply ]

I recall being mesmerized — yes, I believe that describes it best — by this as an elementary school student, and again as a junior high kid, and again and again as a high schooler, and as a college hippie, and traveling around the world, and yet, it has always done the trick, and still, it brings a calm, a transporting, a journey in search of...well, you know what the Moody Blues were after — and I count myself lucky to have been turned on, and kept on, and now getting regular re-charges of it from RP, MUSIC GODS be praised!

eswiley2 Jan 04, 2013 - 06:31	Is it the song — or the wonderful memories it evokes of a time long gone? Dunno. But a 9, nonetheless. Nights in White Satin is, of course — the 10. [ Reply ]
