The Moody Blues facts

The Moody Blues are an English band originally from Erdington in the city of Birmingham. Founding members Michael Pinder and Ray Thomas performed an initially rhythm and blues-based sound in 1964 along with Graeme Edge and others, and were later joined by John Lodge and Justin Hayward as they inspired and evolved the progressive rock style...   The Moody Blues have sold in excess of 50 million albums worldwide and have been awarded 14 platinum and gold discs. They remain active as of 2010...   Their long-time producer Tony Clarke recently passed away in January 2010...   Days of Future Passed, The Moody Blues' second official album (released in 1967), was their first of what would be a succession of concept albums. It was also the first to feature Justin Hayward and John Lodge, who would play a very strong role in directing the band's sound in the decades to come...   Time Traveller is a five-disc compilation album by The Moody Blues. It includes songs from Days of Future Passed through Keys of the Kingdom, as well as previously unreleased tracks. The fifth disc consists of live recordings... Thomas retired at the end of 2002 due to gout and diabetes. The Moody Blues, now consisting only of Hayward, Lodge and Edge plus four long-serving touring band members, including Norda Mullen who has taken over Thomas' flute parts, have released one studio album, December, since his departure from the band... Two tracks by The Moody Blues are included on my "Best Of" series, but do not appear on my mainstream Music Library.. "Had To Fall In Love" and "Driftwood" ...
