Nights in White Satin by The Moody Blues

I warned that it wouldn't belong before this prog-rock travesty made it into this archive of horrors. It's hard to believe that the same group that sang 'Go Now', an inoffensive piece Brit R&B, then went on to inflict the bombastic Days of Future Passed album on the listening public. It was a pretentious amalgam of rock, classic and psychadelic music and, yes, 'Nights in White Satin' was the hit from the album - depressingly, it is probably the best track on there, or at least the mos accessible.
For many years, I actually thought it was entitled 'Knights in White Satin', which at least produced an interesting mental image. 'Nights in White Satin' sounds more like a colour on a Dulux chart ("Mmmm, what colour would look nice in the bathroom? What about Nights in White Satin?" Actually, the Moody Blues' Justin Hayward could start his own paint range, which could include 'Forever Autumn' as well...) Of course, Justin Hayward then went on to unleash the legendary (and horrifically pompous) War of the Worlds musical, so he was destined to walk that slippery slope for a while after 'Nights'....

Crap lyrics: Nights in white satin/Never reaching the end/Letters Ive written/Never meaning to send.

Verdict: If 'Nights in White Satin' really didn't ever reach the end, I would be forced to do something drastic...
