The justaposition of acoustic instruments with electric. Earliest use of mellotron - okay, mebbe Graham Bond beat them - not sure. Ignoring all outside fads and influences; making something truely unique FOR THE TIME. Period significant.
Moodies influenced "Court of Crimson King". That is a given.
Moodies influenced many UK bands WITHIN MONTHS: Cressida, Cirkus,fantasy,Spring,Gracious,KestrelBarklay James Harvest.
