We still be trippin'... our third-in-a-row acid rock album review, this time by prog pioneers The Moody Blues. We went on a quest to find the lost chord and breakfast, and we succeeded. The often-overlooked Moodies weren't pop culture darlings, they stayed out of the spotlight, but their musicianship was topnotch. So grab a latte, or a good old cup…

They'd already conquered the pop world, proving they could write a pop song with merit and staying power. They'd already demonstrated how to be a rock band, but hold on--they were only beginning to show us what rock and roll is. Around the beginning…

This isn't party music, nor is it road trip sing-along-in-the-car music. Nope, this is classical music, with a generous helping of modern electronics, experimental sounds, and satirical humor. It's not for everybody...and that's exactly how Frank Zappa wanted it.Av Rick Baughman and Tammy Colt

Take a symphony, play it in a jazz style, but make it rock and roll. That is the magic that is early Chicago.
