With the release of 1967's Days of Future Passed, the Moody Blues left behind their R&B origins and emerged as pioneers of Britain's emerging art rock sound. A richly imagined concept album that fused classical music with rock, Days of Future Passed arrived less than six months after the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band to an audience already primed to embrace such a progressive work. What's more, it was a hit on both sides of the Atlantic thanks to its dreamy singles "Nights in White Satin" and "Tuesday Afternoon," establishing the Moodies as both a commercially viable and deeply creative unit. Over subsequent releases like 1968's In Search of the Lost Chord and 1969's On the Threshold of a Dream, they developed into a five-man orchestra of rock mystics, creating music that was challenging enough to please the psychedelic crowd, but still accessible to mainstream radio listeners. Their initial run lasted until 1972 and yielded hits like "Ride My See-Saw," "The Story in Your Eyes," and "Isn't Life Strange." While they were unable to maintain the success of their late-'60s dominance, the Moodies later reintroduced themselves to the MTV generation with synth-driven '80s hits like "Your Wildest Dreams" and "I Know You're Out There Somewhere." Over the subsequent decades they remained a popular touring act, putting a unique stamp on their legacy by joining local orchestras on the road and offering audiences the full extent of their dense arrangements. By the 21st century, the Moodies had more or less ceased recording new material and instead focused on touring and reissuing their ample back catalog. As the 2010s drew to a close, punctuated by their 2018 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, most of the band's original members had either retired or passed away, leaving behind an impressive body of music.
