One
of the most enduring, beloved
and innovative rock bands in
music history, the Moody Blues’
legacy spans the late ’60s to
the present, from its 1967 debut
Days of Future Passed to its
most recent release, a double CD
greatest hits package, Gold. The
group’s forward-thinking mix of
orchestral pop and progressive
rock has established them as one
of the most influential bands of
all time, while annual sold-out
tours have made Justin Hayward,
John Lodge, and Graeme Edge one
of the top-grossing album and
touring bands in existence. Rock
fans of all ages and tastes will
recognize the timeless melodies
and grand symphonic gestures of
classic songs like “Tuesday
Afternoon”, “Nights in White
Satin” (one of the biggest
selling singles in history!),
“Ride My See Saw”, “Legend of a
Mind”, “Voices in the Sky”, “The
Voice”, “Gemini Dream”, and
more.
Over the course of their career,
the Moody Blues have generated
#1, Top 5, Top 10, Top 20 and
Top 40 hits in three different
decades, along with
multi-platinum, platinum, and
gold albums. The band has sold
over 55 million albums
worldwide. Numerous awards,
including the NARM Number One
World Group Award in 1972, the
Playboy Vocal Group of the Year,
the Ivor Novello statue, and
many more have come their way.
But the most cosmic kudo of all
came in 1993, when the band was
presented with an historical
cassette of their albums Days of
Future Passed and Seventh
Sojourn. One of the space
shuttle astronauts had carried
the tape with him on all four of
his space missions.
The band has also appeared in
The Simpsons and, in 2001,
recorded two songs for the IMAX
film Journey Into Amazing Caves.
In 2006, the group’s historic
first five recordings were
re-released in deluxe editions.
