The Moody Blues

The Moody Blues were an English rock band formed in Birmingham in May 1964. The group initially consisted of Graeme Edge, Denny Laine, Mike Pinder, Ray Thomas and Clint Warwick. Originally part of the British beat and R&B scene of the early-to-mid-1960s, they came to prominence with the UK No. 1 and US Top 10 single "Go Now" in late 1964/early 1965. Laine and Warwick both left the band in 1966, with Edge, Pinder and Thomas recruiting new members Justin Hayward and John Lodge. They embraced the psychedelic rock movement of the late 1960s, with their second album, Days of Future Passed, a fusion of rock with classical music. It has been described as a "landmark" in the development of art rock and progressive rock, and "one of the first successful concept albums". The group released six more albums – In Search of the Lost Chord, On the Threshold of a Dream, To Our Children's Children's Children, A Question of Balance, Every Good Boy Deserves Favour and Seventh Sojourn – and toured extensively until they went on hiatus in 1974.
