Moody Blues

Although they're best known today for their lush, lyrically and musically profound (some would say bombastic) psychedelic-era albums, the Moody Blues started out as one of the better R&B-based combos of the British Invasion.

Even though the Moodies are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of "Fame", they are still one of my favorite groups. I can beleive that some people may not enjoy their music. Everyone has different taste.

Most everyone that grew up in the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's has heard of the Moody Blues and probably has enjoyed atleast some of their music. "Blondie" is in and I don't like anything they did. Again, my personal taste. I know the Moodies will probably never be voted in because they are too far past their prime. I bet if they were on the "Atlantic" label or some of the other recording labels represented by the Hall's board of trustee's they would have been in along time ago. Just some food for thought.
