Moody Blues are awesome.

a majority of /mu/ doesnt know shit about any music released before the 90s, and they dont really know much about music after the 90s either

Breathe deep the gathering gloom,
Watch lights fade from every room.
Bedsitter people look back and lament,
Another day's useless energy spent.
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one,
Lonely man cries for love and has none.
New mother picks up and suckles her son,
Senior citizens with they were young.
Cold hearted orb rules the night,
Removes the colours from our sight.
Red is grey and yellow white,
But we decide which is right.
And which one is an illusion???

IDK man it's a pretty sloppy execution of concept.
>hurrr if we had orchestra between generic pop songs then we'll be fancy and prog
>sounds genius

>>55292352
prog didn't really exist in 1967 though

point being that they thought they were being super artsy and creative when really they just asked the orchestra+conductor to arrange all that disparate music in between some pop songs.
there's no connection of material.
none.

it's a fucking terrible album in terms of how well the concept works.

>Nights in White Satin
>Tuesday Afternoon
>Generic pop songs

Basically yeah.
point being, for the third time, they don't work with the orchestra.

one of my old man's fav bands, n his taste murders most of mu's

>>55292540
yes they did, they collaborated with knight for every song intro, especially the first

>>55292638
Well it's a shame that it doesn't actually work, does it?

>>55292014

That album cover is so good. I think most people on here do respect and enjoy The Moody Blues even though they don't get mentioned a whole lot.

/mu/core isnt /mu/core because it's good. its just overhyped on /mu/

Great album

This song can go up against any song on Pet Sounds IMO. Those falsetto vocals on the bridge...
