    As a band that is sometimes considered under-rated, except for maybe the famous "first seven" classic-era albums, I thought it would be interesting to have your list of 10-20 Moody Blues favorite tracks, plus double as a "Moody Blues appreciation thread". Here's the first 10 I came up with:

    1. Tuesday Afternoon
    2. Dawn Is A Feeling
    3. Nights In White Satin
    4. No More Lies
    5. Gypsy (of a Strange & Distant Time)
    6. Out and In
    7. English Sunset
    8. The Story In Your Eyes
    9. Have You Heard, Pt. 1/The Voyage/Have You Heard, Pt. 2
    10. My Brother

  5. re: 10. My Brother

    While it would have made a most beautiful Moodies song, that was actually the Blue Jays (Justin and John)

    I love:
    After You Came
    I thought...Hundred/Million
    In and Out
    Eternity Road
    Lost in a Lost World
    Candle of Life

    Technically correct, but since they included it on the Time Traveller box set, I put it on my list. :thumbsup:

    "Voices in the Sky". Just a lovely, simple song.

    For rocking out, I like "Questions" best.

    I would have included 'Your Wildest Dreams' but although it's a great song, it's marred by 80's production (and keyboard) style IMO.
