The Moody Blues

To many of the younger folks on here they may seem like "just another old classic rock band" that you never paid much attention to. However, any rock fan who likes music with lyrics that go a little deeper than most with lots of atmosphere with a folky and sometimes rocking out sound then you need to check out the Moody Blues regardless of whether you are "old enough" to really know much about them.

Although their music isn't necessarily spiritual in the most obvious sense(at least not all the time)there are often very heavy spiritual over tones to their lyrics and often philosophical ones as well. Over all a very deep band who made some very great(and often uplifting) music.

Yes - The Moody Blues is called "prog rock" (progressive rock). They were at their height when I was in my teens, so I shared their influence/journey.

Although I am a big fan of prog(progressive rock)for me the Moodies are a little different than most of the big name prog bands such as Yes, ELP, Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Genesis etc because their stuff was not as complex musically and was more song oriented(for the most part). But yeah, they were certainly part of the whole prog rock/art rock movement and were in fact one of the archetypal bands.

A few more:

One of my favourites by the Moodies, this song is very uplifting.

I often listen to The Moody Blues, partly for nostalgia sake -- my parents had a few of their albums and the rock station I grew up listening to would play them often -- and partly just because I dig their lyrics and "dramatic" music ;)

I think there's more to them than most people realize but you could say that about a lot of bands where people only know the "hits." Kansas and Yes also have strong spiritual elements to their music. So does Todd Rundgren. But you might not know this unless you dig deeper into the music and listen to more than just the songs from the radio.
