With over three decades of music making, touring and concerts, Moody Blues has definitely had it made in this sometimes one-way-ticket journey industry. British rock band Moody Blues hails from England, with Ray Thomas and Michael Pinder as its initial founder. In 1064, the two were joined by Graeme Edge, John Lodge and Justin Hayward. According to their official website, the band has sold over 55 million albums which solidified their reputation as being one of the greatest bands in the UK. Their ticket to fame is their contribution to the musical genre which is classic rock.
To have an idea of how much their fans love the Moody Blues, here is a list of their studio albums which just goes to show how people clamor for more of their type of music: In 1965, they recorded "The Magnificent Moodies". This was followed by Days of Future Passed (1967), In Search of the Lost Chord (1968), On the Threshold of a Dream (1969), To Our Children's Children's Children (1969), A Question of Balance (1970), Every Good Boy Deserves Favour (1971), Seventh Sojourn (1972), Octave (1978), Long Distance Voyageer (1981), The Present (1983), The Other Side of Life (1981), Sur La Mer (1988), Keys of the Kingdom (1991), Strange Times (1999) and December (2003).
Out of these albums, eighteen became platinum records. Also, the ticket to their staying power in the music industry lies from the fact that they are 'musical mainstays' on the concert stage. When you have sold-out tickets to tours and best selling albums to boot, how can you go wrong Aside from these two, they also dominate the airwaves with the classic rock songs that they record. One of their most memorable singles was "Go Now!", which was used for a lot of years on a "Spitting Image" episode. This was the time when Margaret Thatcher was being pressured to resign as prime minister. "Ride My See Saw" and "Voices in the Sky" are other hit singles that they have. Some of their hits in the UK were revived in the States to become hit singles and albums all over again. All in all, Moody Blues' ticket to fame and enduring success for all of their stay in the business for more than thirty years can only be owed to the fact that they love their craft, they have chemistry as a band and they never allow their fans to "forget" them for one single minute.
