Moody Blues

oh yeah had some moody blues.back in the early 70's. fun times .great tunes.

 

Justin Hayward had an amazing knack for hooks and basic chord progressions which is probably why his penned songs were the band's most successful.

Lesser known songs with outstanding hooks are:
It's Up To You
You And Me
Never Comes The Day
Simple Game
Have You Heard 1 & 2
Gypsy

While I also dig John Lodge's work, his well known "I'm Just A Singer" sounds like it belongs in an early ESPN show intro.

 

One of my all time favourite bands, been a fan since Days of Future Past first came out. Two of their less known songs are amongst my favourites, The Story in Your Eyes and Send Me No Wine.

 

A Question of Balance is one of my favorite albums ever, I've loved it for quite some time now... Days of Future Passed is a close second after that. I have all their early albums on vinyl except the two after AQoB. The other few between are great but don't seem to have that consistency that the two I already mentioned have
