moody blues vs rock hall of fame


i read an article on goldmine debating their inclusion. so far they have been snubbed. as with some bands they are loved or hated. they did have some rather iffy songs but i think they should be in. btw i am 58 and grew up listening to them, still like them and thought some people here would have some interesting opinions.i vote "in"

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.
