When you mentioned the Moody Blues all of these weird Brit bands popped into my head. The Animals of course weren't weird, but there were groups like the Beau Brummels, the Zombies (who were actually pretty good) and a bunch of other less known groups.
I may have to check them out and edit this post. I'm waiting a couple of hours at least so I have whatever suggestions you and others come up with before I start researching and potentially editing the post to make some additions.

Weird is sometimes a hallmark of Prog too. :)
Edited... added The Animals, The Moody Blues, The Beau Brummels, and The Zombies.
