Welcome to this special report for the Laptop Sessions acoustic cover songs music video blog!
A few weeks ago, I had a conversation with my father about the best Moody Blues albums. My father is very opinionated and we had a nice argument about the subject. He decided to make a list. I’m not sure if it’s because we were arguing and he knew I had some differing opinions, but I couldn’t believe how similar his answers were to what mine might have been! In fact, there’s very few on this list I would disagree with (I’d put “Every Good Boy…” lower and definitely “December” a lot higher…). So, without further ado, here’s my father’s list of Best Moody Blues albums…including solo albums!
Moody Blues albums:
On the Threshold of A Dream
Every Good Boy Deserves Favour
To Our Children’s Children’s Children
Long Distance Voyager
Strange Times
Question of Balance
The Present
In Search of the Lost Chord
Seventh Sojourn
Days of Future Passed
Octave
This is the Moody Blues (A really good Best-Of compilation, mixed like a real Moody Blues album. However, if a compilation album lands here, you can only imagine how…not great…the albums below it must be!)
Prelude (Another compilation, but this is of their early stuff before “Days of Future Passed”)
Caught Live +5 (I’ve always been a fan of the five unreleased songs at the end, myself)
Keys of the Kingdom
December
The Other Side of Life
Sur La Mer
Moody Blues Members’ Solo Albums:
The Promise – Mike Pinder
View From the Hill – Justin Hayward
Blue Jays – Justin Hayward and John Lodge
Among the Stars – Mike Pinder
From Mighty Oaks – Ray Thomas
Kick Off Your Muddy Boots – Graeme Edge
Natural Avenue – John Lodge
Songwriter – Justin Hayward
Hopes Wishes Dreams – Ray Thomas
Paradise Ballroom – Graeme Edge
Now that we’ve had our say, we’d love to hear what you think! What would you change about this list? Turn it upside down? A few tweaks? Let us hear from you in the comments section below!

Hi MikeK, I appreciate your response, but I have to take issue- you’re trying to tell me that just because the other albums didn’t have Mike Pinder, they don’t even deserve to be on the list? I mean, I love Mike Pinder’s music, but denying Long Distance Voyager and Strange Times is, in my opinion, a great injustice!
