The Moody Blues

The Moody Blues were a British rock band formed in 1964, known for blending rock with orchestral arrangements and philosophical lyrics.

Their 1967 album *Days of Future Passed* pioneered progressive rock, featuring the hit "Nights in White Satin." The band helped establish the concept album as an art form: My parents still play their old Moody Blues records.
