(Clearly I meant “relatedly,” but I have also listened to this song many times over)

For this list, it probably would’ve been Never Comes the Day as well. I am a big sucker for the stately Hayward ballads.

I'm always surprised by who I meet who turns out to be a big Moody Blues fan. A straight-edge punk I knew in high school loved In Search Of The Lost Chord and insisted that our punk band take a high-speed run at "Legend Of A Mind." Had to convince our singer that "Timothy Leary's dead..." was sufficiently anti-hippie (ha!) and in the end we sounded a little like Nazz Nomad-era The Damned. Wish I had that recording.

two years pass...

I voted in this, "Tuesday Afternoon," but I'd forgotten how great the co-winner "Lovely to See" is. Actually, I think I may have always underappreciated it and just realized that now (found a thrift-shop CD of On the Threshold of a Dream). Swear to god, all that guitar interplay could be the Jefferson Airplane, and it's an oddly perfect setting for their proper English voices.
