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.

Excuse me "Rock And Roll Hall of Fame." Didn't I read many times that "The Moody Blues" sold over 50 million records?

Grame Edge once said when referring to Justin Hayward's name being pulled first out of sack full of mail given by Eric Burdon to replace Denny Laine, "Talk about putting in your thumb and pulling out a plumb eh!" Justin Hayward, "The Voice" of the Moodies is one of the worlds most underrated singer/songwriters. I take exception to someone referring to "Nights in White Satin" as being the only noteable song they ever did. That's a bunch of horseshit. I've seen them in concert twice in my life time, and even with the few replacements to the band, the majesty, magic, and fairy dust is still working for this timeless group. Wake up Hall of Fame!
