[CRAZY-HORSE]

i voted 'long distance voyager', there is not a single dud track on this album, some of the tracks are a touch too long but its still very good

[Music Head]

Love everything up through Long Distance Voyager

Have to go with In Search Of The Lost Chord

[Tiggi]

My Moodies experience is fairly limited, but I'd go for Days of Future Passed.

Asked Barry at work (resident Moodies fanatic), and he reckons Every Good Boy Deserves Favour is the pick of the bunch. Never heard it, so I can't comment...

Barry picked my second choice

Can't believe you're not a Moodies fan

[CRAZY-HORSE]

i dont really know much about the moody blues either but 'long distance voyager' is the best of what ive heard, had the poll been a song poll,not an album poll 'go now' would be my pick

[Tiggi]

Can't believe you're not a Moodies fan

I've nothing against them Ed, I've just never really spent any time exploring their catalog. Perhaps I need to rectify this.

yeh, come on Ed, dont forget Tiggi is a Floyd fan afterall, he has no taste

[Jerome]

Cannot pick a favourite album. I always found I liked some of the tracks on ALL of their albums. An amazing body of work. Completely stumped here.

[Mr.Smolski]

i think same, too many realy good songs
