The Moody Blues یکی از گروه‌های موفق سبک راک پیش‌رونده است که معمولاً، کم‌تر از آن‌ها یاد می‌شود. این گروه در سال 1964 در بیرمنگام انگلستان تشکیل شد و نخستین آلبوم خود را با نام The Magnificent Moodies (بدخلقی‌های باشکوه) در قالب صفحه‌های LP record منتشر کرد. نخست، سبک آن‌ها R&B بود که بعدها به سمت راک منحرف شد. از موفق‌ترین آلبوم‌های آن‌ها، «در جست‌وجوی آکورد گم‌شده» است که رنگ‌وبوی راک روان‌گردان را دارد. ترانه‌ی Legend of a Mind طولانی‌ترین ترانه‌ی این آلبوم است که درباره‌ی روان‌شناس آمریکایی Timothy Leary و طرف‌داری او از داروی روان‌گردان LSD نوشته شد. این ترانه را از این‌جا بشنوید.
Timothy Leary`s dead.
No, no no no, he`s outside, looking in.
Timothy Leary`s dead.
No, no no no, he`s outside, looking in.
He`ll fly his astral plane,
Takes you trips around the bay,
Brings you back the same day.
Timothy Leary.

Timothy Leary.
Along the coast you`ll hear them boast
About a light they say that shines so clear.
So raise your glass, we`ll drink a toast
To the little man who sells you thrills along the pier.
He`ll take you up, he`ll bring you down,
He`ll plant your feet back firmly on the ground.
He flies so high, he swoops so low,
He knows exactly which way he`s gonna go.
