I’m sure you agreed with me about the previously mentioned songs, the first from 1966, the second and third from 1974 and 1978 respectively. All three are made of pure awesome. If you don’t think so, get your butt over here so I can kick it.
Now, it might be good planning on my part, or perhaps just pure happenstance,* but today’s song is another featuring the “vocal stylings” of Justin Hayward, this time as front man for the Moody Blues. This is from their 1981 album Long Distance Voyager, which very successfully brought them from the ’60s/70s world of “prog rock” and into the 1980s – a transition many bands could not make.
This song also made me a Moody Blues fan for life, so you’re on notice now: you’d better like it, or you’re in for a world of hurt.
Just saying.
I don’t care if the audio/video quality stinks, watch and listen anyway. Skip ahead to 0:58 if you want to miss the announcer getting the name of the album wrong.
That right there is musical genius. Greatest. Band. Ever. I mean it.
Don’t make me thrash you, because I will.
Oh, yes, I most certainly will.
* It was good planning.
