"The Moody Blues are still the Sistine Chapel of popular music." - Rolling Stone

In an endless sea of rock and pop formats, The Moody Blues have distinguished themselves through four decades as that shimmering jewel vindicating rock music as a substantial artistic contribution to Western culture. Since the 60's, as a part of the historic original British invasion of Supergroups, guitarist/vocalist Justin Hayward, bassist/vocalist John Lodge, and drummer Graeme Edge have lit up the hearts and minds of millions of rock fans with inspiring anthems like "Nights in White Satin," "Tuesday Afternoon" and "I'm Just A Singer (In A Rock And Roll Band)," that express universal themes of love, compassion and peace. The band's unique style of music consistently finds airplay on radio stations globally and continues to illuminate concert arenas around the world. From being immortalized on The Simpsons to having their music featured in movies, television and in national advertisement campaigns such as VISA, The Moody Blues are embedded in not only music history but in pop culture.
