Milestone Albums:Days of Future Passed

[JerichoDitch2]

Sgt Pepper is over rated as a concept album and has some turd songs on it, Revolver is a far superior Beatles album...Days of Future Passed is a georgous, lush album of sheer beauty and originality and as such superior to Pepper...

[Susanskarma]

Possibly one of the best 3 albums ever. Slightly after "Pepper" and "The White Album."

[Morgana888]

Outstanding! Brava! Truly the best tribute of any for the Moody Blues! Musical history was made in DAYS OF FUTURE PASSED! Thank you ~ Janet

Screw the Beatles, I'm sick of their over hyped everything, getting accredited for tons of things they didn't create. Beatles were just a washed down version of everything else, that's pretty much it. Moodies by a landslide!

Quit dumping on the Beatles, you retards. The orchestral arrangements here a good but songs are not well developed. Most of them remind advertising jingles of the day. Don't hold your nostalgia as measure of good taste. Amateurish singing, too.

[frizzlefrap]

@iliavr ....... hold it ....... THEY ARE BOTH GREAT GROUPS ...... let's listen and appreciate all their efforts to satisfy our musical thirst!

Justin stands head and shoulders over most dedicated artist/songwriters and the message is usually lofty and profound. i guess this music saved me from attending " the head-banger's ball " et al .

Moody blues are under rated the beatles over rated. This song in particular. Its more majestic than anything the beatles did.

"The Moody Blues",The Greatest Band of Musicians and Composers of combining rock, jazz, classical & blues. This Band was WAY ahead of their time. The Beatles and others were a bunch of copycats that people bought in to.

[ysplse]

The Moodies are my all time favourite band.

The Beatles for me remain my 2nd favourite with Sgt. Peppers my favourite Beatles album

[TheInsaneZenChild]

Moody Blues - one of the best, and sadly, one of the most underrated artists of our lifetimes. :')

[MsRustyred]

Not just an album for me either. My younger sister gave it to me for Christmas--forgotten the year...She's gone now. But hearing this music brings back those so dangerous '60's and the musical greatness to follow--this is a symphony.

[DocMEDICK]

This album is a classic opened everyones eyes in 1968. First heard it in Vietnam. Justin Hayward made this group what ii is.

[jaysonvalentine]

@DocMEDICK No he didn't. The Moodies were all equals.

[vanhenry71]

Wish the whole album was featured here, but I am glad some of it is. My father used to play this album so I would go to sleep, and when I was in the hospital, he made a cassette for me. ALot of good memories with this album.

[jaysonvalentine]

@vanhenry71 This is my dad's favorite record.

[rdanlord]

I first learned of this album in 1970, having found the single 'Tuesday Afternoon' in a box of throwaway promo copies at a local radio station. I searched almost two years for the album, which in that particular time frame, was very hard to find. Plus I was only 13. I found the album in March 1972. My father died that same night. However, the album was reborn, and was at the top of the charts months later. More than just an album to me. More like a message from beyond

[Monkberry50]

majestic album... the songs are patient and develope in their own good time... everyone contrubutes tunes that are deadly consistent with the corresponding time of day, and not a dud in the batch. forget Sgt Pepper, it has some horrible songs on it... DoFP is a far superior concept album, and much more groundbreaking, and more introspective. one of the best albums ever recorded. Lovely to hear them again, my friend.

[summerstone7]

@Monkberry50 ...a true masterpiece, and one of the great albums along with srgnt pepper, but better than pepper? i don t think that , that is true.

[dont1kill2the3possum]

Nice, but you edited way too much out of it. I really like the orchestral parts. Great album that will never be surpassed though.....

[ww79gk]

I know this will date me but, if you play the cassette of Days of Future Passed the end of Nights in White Satin ends with the symbols; turn the tape over and The Day Begins is like the reverse of the symbol. Which is the reason why there is some dead air at the beginning.

[vanhenry71]

LOL! Yea I remember that! Yea that just dated both of us!

[Jusfriend]

This was the very first Moody Blues album I ever owned. I loved it then, and I STILL love it now! Just a wonderful album. Thanks!

Love, Jusfriend

Breathe deep the gathering gloom Watch lights fade from every room Bedsitter people look back and lament Another day's useless energy spent Impassioned lovers wrestle as one Lonely man cries for love and has none New mother picks up and suckles her son Senior citizens wish they were young Cold hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colours from our sight Red is grey and yellow, white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion

[crazykeyman]

Cold hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colours from our sight Red is gray and yellow, white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion.

Pinprick holes in a colourless sky

Let insipid figures of light pass by

The mighty light of ten thousand suns

Challenges infinity and is soon gone

Night time, to some a brief interlude

To others the fear of solitude

Brave Helios, wake up your steeds

Bring the warmth the countryside needs

[HoustonPublisher]

Had this album, but some idiot lifted it. It was our favorite album by our favorite group The Moody Blues. Fantastic post, but there's part of it missing. I'm was waiting for the part "Live all you people".

652 is lovely to see!
