moody blues vs rock hall of fame

Serendipity.

I'm working my way through my CD collection and I just so happen to be at the Ms - in fact, at The Moody Blues.

I had to sort them into chronological order first, and then off we go. "Days of Future Passed" was nice but not as psychedelic as "Lost Chord". All those lovely MFSL golds - and they do sound good, but I actually prefer the original Deram (silver to the center) for "Lost Chord". A few fun hours to follow.

A quality body of work that stands the test of time.

Regards,

I'd put Question of Balance and To Our Children's Children's Children right up there, too.

Although there were no "hits" on it, On The Threshold Of A Dream" is the Moody's album that really takes me there. Unbelievable how vivid the memories are.
Not sure what value the RRHOF has, none to me, but the Moody Blues should be in it.

The Moodies were ahead of their time and made a lot great music. Sad that the Rock Hall of Fame is behind in their time(ing). Late night , the lights out and any of the above albums playing on the turntable is pure enjoyment for me.
Cheers

I agree they should have been inducted years ago. Their first 7 albums were amazing works in both music and poetry. And really some of the albums that followed were very good albums. But the orginal core band( from days of future passed on) of Hayward,Lodge, Edge, Thomas and Pinder, were pioneers in sound that they invented. Later albums such as Long Distance Voyager the addidtion or Patrick Moraz rejuvinated the bands sound. After that they did become very popish and seemed to be plowing the same field over and over. But when you look at some of the inducted band and musicians if the Moody Blues get passed over then in my opinion the Hall of Fame is basing decisions on politics and not talent.
