I'm a big fan of trashy, stupid rock so the Moodys are right in my wheelhouse.

"Tuesday Afternoon" for me, with a photo finish to place for "The Voice" and "Nights".

I thought for a longer period of time than I'd like to admit that "Gemini Dream" was an ELO song

I was the right caller to a radio station and won a copy of their Long Distance Voyager album--the one with The Voice and Gemini Dream--so The Voice was my favorite for a long time. I started listening to their albums from Days of Future Past through Long Distance Voyager and became pretty fond of many of their songs; each one of those albums had a cut or two that were never on the radio but I really liked them anyway. I also got to see them in '87 and they put on a good show with a suprisingly good energy level I wasn't expecting to be associated with their music.

**Edited to correct the year I saw them to '87, the same year I went to a Bangles concert as much for their opening act (the Hoodoo Gurus) as for them, but because of traffic we missed the opening act anyway. :(

Good list. I always like Question and Your Wildest Dreams.

Also like The Other Side of Life.

Love how their "look" followed the trends of the time. Go Now, the 60s with the clean cut and suits, Singer in a rocknroll band, 70s and the long hair/beards, The Voice, 80s with the leisure suit look.

I think the best description I've ever read of that guitar sound in "The Voice" is "plastic-y". I don't know why that stuck with me, but it kinda makes sense.

Spinal Tap started as skiffle group with similar clothing changes.

Big Moody Blues fan - I went with "The Story In Your Eyes" though it was a tough choice.
