The Moody Blues - The Best of the Moody Blues

Fans of the Moody Blues hungry for the band's intoxicatingly rich arrangements and soaring melodies need look no further than this terrific compilation. What it lacks in depth this collection makes up for in breadth, spanning the band's 30-year history of hits from "Tuesday Afternoon (Forever Afternoon)" to "Your Wildest Dreams." Featuring some of Justin Hayward and John Lodge's best songwriting and packed with performances truly worthy of the superlative adjective greatest, this collection of hits delivers the goods. --L.A.

CD Moody Blues

I got this CD by my own mistake. I meant to get another Moody Blues CD. So I gave this CD to a friend. When I called him up, he was listening to it. And He told me, "Thanks alot. I love this CD. I just love the Moody Blues!" It's a compilation of some of their earlier works. None of their newer stuff is on it. July 30, 2008

Existential Moments

As a die-hard Moody Blues fan, this is a good compilation that includes some of their earlier works as well as the more familiar and favourite hits for which they are associated. Well worth the purchase. July 10, 2008

The Best of Moody Blues review by George

I am a great fan of the Moody Blues and have always enjoyed their concerts. When I saw this CD "The Best of Moody Blues", I ordered it. Although it contains their hits, the recording does not meet the quality or sound of other CDs by the Moody Blues. Their CD at Red Rock is still one of their best. April 6, 2008

moody blues perfection

The Moody Blues are a brilliant emotional pop band. The vocal melodies are beautiful, the sound of all the singers voices are spiritual and beautiful, and everything they did was great. Yes that's right- EVERYTHING they did. Say what you want about the 80's, but the Moody Blues were pumping out brilliant songs in that decade just as much and just as well as they did in the 60's and 70's. Which is my favorite decade for the Moody Blues? I don't have one, but of course I'm always super excited by 70's music so if you forced me to pick one, I'd say the 70's.

This album contains many of their biggest hits and put together almost in order, and as a result of their extraordinary talent, you have an album that has no filler anywhere (not that there's filler on any of the regular Moody Blues albums either) and an album that has over 70 minutes of pop perfection with some of the strongest emotions human beings ever laid down on tape.

Whether you like honest feelings in the sound of someones voice, or great pop vocal melodies, the Moody Blues were truly gifted in accomplishing both. They are the ultimate pop band and I am very happy to have this CD in my collection. It's worth owning and memorizing for its beauty and brilliance. Songwriting doesn't get any better than this folks. Favorite song? Changes every time. I refuse to pick a favorite song from a band that had many MANY good songs anyway. Pick this one up today.
