"Sitting At The Wheel" by The Moody Blues

The Moody Blues were an art rock band that didn't specialize in radio friendly singles, but they managed to crossover to the pop charts every now and then through their thirty year career. They've scored a single top 10 hit in the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

The band's first chart hit was "Go Now!" which hit #10 in 1965. In 1972 they had their biggest success with the epic ballad "Nights In White Satin." "Nights" spent 2 weeks at #2 and became an instant classic; it even earned a place in the Grammy Hall of Fame. Then in 1986 they had a surprise comeback when "Your Wildest Dreams" went all the way to #9.

"Sitting At The Wheel" is a single that did fairly well in 1983, making it to #27. Still, this upbeat and catchy tune isn't the song most people think of when they hear "Moody Blues".
