Formed in Birmingham, England, in 1964, The Moody Blues were one of the most influential Progressive Rock bands of all time. Interestingly, they were one of the few bands able to achieve success in both the 1960s and 1970s, as well as in the 1980s, slightly changing their sound and becoming more commercial, much like Genesis and Yes did.
Some of their most famous songs include “Nights in White Satin,” “Your Wildest Dreams,” “Tuesday Afternoon (Forever Afternoon),” “Question,” “The Voice,” and “Ride My See-Saw.” Their second album, “Days of Future Passed” (1967), was the record that put them on the map. It was released in the same year as two other fundamental albums that helped give birth to Progressive Rock: Pink Floyd’s “The Piper at the Gates of Dawn” and The Beatles’ “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.”
The band’s final album was ‘December,’ released in 2003, although they remained active until 2018. From 1964 until that final year, they had only a three-year hiatus, from 1974 to 1977.
