There are just so many wonderful tunes of theirs over their many decades that it would be impossible for me to pick just one "favorite". BTW - You proably know "Go now" era Moody personnell was different than the "days of future passed" onwards. It's all good!

The Moody Blues version of Go Now is great. Have you ever heard the original version of Go Now by Bessie Banks?

Go Now is a 1964 song composed by Larry Banks and Milton Bennett. Bessie Banks originally performed this song, taking it to number forty on the Cash Box R&B singles chart. "Go Now" was made popular internationally later in 1964 when a group from Birmingham named The Moody Blues recorded it, with Denny Laine on guitar and lead vocals. When Denny Laine first heard Bessie Banks's, he immediately told the rest of the band that they needed to record the song.

There is no apostrophe in "Blues", unless you are referring to something that belongs to the person or entity "Blue".

I like most of what the Moody Blues did - I've seen them live four times, ranging from 1969 to 2008. Wonderful music!

Favorites...too many!

Another Moody Blues song I also really like is For My Lady. A beautiful, lilting song with a slight sea shanty feel.
