Last month The Moody Blues were in Indy and my sweetie took me to see them. It was a wonderful concert and I want to do it again! Here is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums of all time:
Enjoy and hope your new year is all you want it to be.
The Moodies rock and are too good for the damned rock & roll hall of fame. Real Moodies fans will be gathering in March for a 5 day Caribbean cruise with the band. See moodiescruise.com. It's almost sold out.
Obviously the rock and roll hall of fame is more about money and less about talent. There are bands in the hall that I think suck and have little talent at all. Now the Moody Blues, they are a quality band bursting with talent and poetry and so of course they aren't in the hall. That is a complement to them actually if you want my opinion. Melanie is another artist that isn't in the hall and she's really great too. So fuck the rock and roll hall of fame--they stand merely for commercialism, not quality.
Wow! Love the MB's.. so dreamy & great harmonies, very intricate music. I was having #@%@#% blogger probs, would not read me as logged in when I tried to post to other blogs. For some reason, now it is behaving. So stopping by to wish you a Happy New Year. Time for positive changes! Namaste
The Moody Blues are still awesome! I had a chance to see them a few times when they were younger & it was wonderous. Such music! If I had a chance to see them now I would do it again.
Great music, love to hear them on the radio.
ReplyDeleteI totally love their first 7 albums, most of which isn't played on the radio anymore, but some of it was. :)

DeleteIt's nice to know they're still playing together.
ReplyDeleteAnd they sounded damn good too :)

thanks Fran. Sorry to hear that blogger wouldn't play nice...
DeleteI liked some of the Moody Blues' songs, but whenever I'd hear several of their songs in a row, they'd all start sounding the same. JMHO.
ReplyDeleteBut they're definitely very talented. I had no idea they were still together. More power to 'em.
well if the sameness is that wonderful spiritual lyrical poetry which is their music then I'm all for it :)

ReplyDeleteI would have LOVED to have seen them in their heyday but now was pretty freaking awesome too :)
