I realize this is probably a weird topic but its something I've been thinking about lately. My mom is a longtime fan of the moody blues and I inherited her taste by exposure. I've always felt that they were a band that was somehow considered separate from what was considered the 'progressive' movement of bands like ELP, yes or gentle giant. Are they symphonic rock? are they prog? something else? does it matter?



I've always reallly like john lodge's basslines and think mike pinder's mellotron work is really great, but I also feel like they get short shrift as musicians compared to guys like chris squire or rick wakeman. I guess I'm curious how other people feel about the band.

any band that makes concept albums in the 60s or 70s and then makes synth bangers in the 80s is prog, imo
