The second album I ever bought, at the ripe age of 15 - from Beatties in Wolverhampton - had to play on the parental radiogramme, huge box thing in the corner of the living room - mono of course!  Ahh, memories!!

 The first album was 'T Rex'  - the one with Marc and Mickey Finn on the cover, just pre Glam stardom - and that's a belter too!

Howard Stern was just talking today about what a crime it was that the Moody Blues were not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Donna Summers was.  Screw you, Jann Wenner!!!

To hear the Moody Blues is to have lived the '60s.

this song reminds me of those times and her too. rock on, amy.
 
There is only one thing more precious than that kind of memory.  That one thing is the actual moment of now.

I always loved that piece. Even if someone here is compelled to cast aspersions. Must make him feel better than the music, which begs the question of why he (assuming it's a he) isn't hanging out with Kanye or Slipknot.

I was listening to the Moody Blues back in the late sixties in my 1957 Ford on my 8 track tape player...nice to travel back in time.

Agreed. This site is about the music, or about sharing stories on how that music affects us. Not everyone will agree on which song opens the heart and makes us feel passionate, but we can all agree that if we're here, then there is music that does it for us. And that is a beautiful, smiley face, dancing banana thing.
Rock on, hippiechick...and Stingray, go swim back to your dark, hateful slime. If all you have is hateful remarks, then you're pretty useless here.

I read most of the "comments" (on page 1) about this GENIUS-MOODIES tune!

My comment (to the comments)...? None!

I do not wanna be banned fro this site!

This band and this song deserves more than "Smileys" and silly comments of the type
"this is my favourite MB song".

Whooooooo cares??

GENIUS is lightyears above+away from any blog.

I can remember, circa 1971, turning off all the lights in my dorm room and laying with my head between the speakers of my Panasonic stereo speakers (that I was SO proud of buying with MY OWN money), and listening, with candles burning to To Our Children's Children's Children....  and feeling.. oh, SO ...  evolved!!

There is just a visceral response to music from your youth.

The Moodys put out a series of terrific albums there.  This is one of those.  Released in 1970 to answer RP's question mark.

Went to see the Moody's in Brighton last year. The average age of the audience was about 60 (I felt young for once...!) and they had a comfort break (or interval)  half way through.  It was brilliant - Justin Haywood is still good looking

Their music transcends time; maybe the most under-rated band ever, so my question is why?

I was listening to the Moody Blues on the way to work this morning. One of my favorite bands ever.

Apparently, the "rock and roll historians" who vote in the inductees don't think very much of The Moody Blues.  It's not really as if being in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame really has any meaning anyhow - it's less relevant than winning a Grammy® Award. 
Rock & Roll used to largely represent something subversive, or at least rebellious; having a Hall of Fame and handing out trophies to a bunch of old fogeys in tuxedos and gowns, exemplifies how much the genre has become toothless, obedient, corporate, and irrelevant.

Saw them at Red Rocks outside Denver in 82. At the time they called themselves 'veteran cosmic rockers'. Always like that. Their music has always transcended time and space. I hear this now and feel like I am back in college with a completely different outlook. Thanks

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? It truly is inexplicable. The good news? They ARE there as far as we are concerned. However, in the interests of those who will follow us, they should know who was revered in our day for their musical chops. Heaven forbid in 2110, some dude or dudette will not have the filter of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to discern the credible music of this time. It IS a Question of Balance that this knowledge pass forward.

The "Bohemian Rhapsody" of its time—with more socio-political content. 10 fer sure.

This sounds pretty fine to me.  If you mean the tape hiss, that's okay.
