moody blues vs rock hall of fame

I have the early 2 lp Moody's collection "A Dream" on Gema Records.

It's one of my most prized lps. The early Moodies stuff with Denny Laine was more of a British R&B style but still with lots of good harmonies. I like this collection a lot though it little resembles what the Moodies became later when Justin Hayward and John Lodge joined.

Listening to Pinder's "The Promise" as I write. Ray THomas' Hopes Wishes and Dreams prior to that.

Haven't played these since my most recent system upgrades.

I'm lovin life.......

Oh well, not this year.

Upcoming 2011 inductees listed the R&R HOF site:

"Congratulations to the following artists on their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year!

* Performers:
* Alice Cooper
* Neil Diamond
* Dr. John
* Darlene Love
* Tom Waits

* Non-Performers:
* Jac Holzman
* Art Rupe

* Sidemen:
* Leon Russell"

A Rock n Roll Hall of Fame seems like a stupid idea to me and when you consider some of the people they have inducted I think its a badge of honor that the Moodies aren't in.

By chance I came across a December 2003 Rolling Stone that featured "The 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time". You guessed it, no Moodies. The list is a pretty good one, you can find it on their website, but someone really screwed up by overlooking the Moodies.

"I think its a badge of honor that the Moodies aren't in.
"

Also a badge of honor that The MBs have never received much credence from RS magazine.

Maybe if Justin Hayward would have just broken a few guitars on stage things could be different......

"The 70s without the Moody Blues? I can’t even imagine that. Hell, it wouldn’t have been the 70s without them."

The 60's, if you were tuned in and turned on, man.....the 60s
