Nights In White Satin (1967) - The Moody Blues


The Moody Blues were a Band that competed for air time with the likes of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who.

And they more than held up their own. Incredibly intelligent introspective lyrics combining classical style music with British rock/blues.

Yeah you could say they were unique.

I really think it was the Moody Blues and not The Beatles that established the concept of Album Rock for FM Stations.

Nights In White Satin is a melancholy slow song that somehow makes you listen to it intently and maybe even sing along. The kind of Artsy Rock song that set the precedent for bands like Yes and Genesis.
