On the turntable tonight, in honor of John Lodge, who passed away yesterday, 10/10/2025, it’s Long Distance Voyager by The Moody Blues
To be honest, I’m not that bigger fan of The Moody Blues, but I am a bit fan of Prog Rock and The Moody Blues influenced the early prog bands, such as my all time favorite band, Genesis.
Like many, the first song I think of in relation to The Moody Blues is Nights in White Satin, closely followed by Go Now!
Somewhere amongst my singles, which I still need to sort out, I have my mum’s Nights in White Satin single.
The Long Distance Voyager album, if I remember rightly, I got as the Britannia Music Club record of the month.
The album is 44 years old, but listening to it now, I’m loving it from start to finish.
The Voice and Gemini Dream, written by John Lodge, are my two favorite tracks and I love the album artwork.
Rest in Peace – John Lodge
