Moody Blues
British symphonic rockers
The Moody Blues is a British rock band formed in 1964, known for blending rock with orchestral arrangements and philosophical lyrics.
Their album *Days of Future Passed* pioneered progressive rock.
The name plays on the musical genre (blues) and emotional moodiness, though it also nods to a Duke Ellington composition.
