I think, therefore I am, I think!!!!!?? .....therefore, I am.
Don't think, just have all of the Moody Blues albums at your disposal and every once in a few years when you need em most, you got em. My generation was a very lucky generation to have groups like the Moody Blues fill our souls with such variety of spirit.

In high school, I was all over these guys - then rapidly got sick of them. Not really fair, they did some great stuff, this song still sounds good to me 45 years later, including the guitar break!

In general (and I am not a sociologist), if you're indifferent, or only mildly positive or negative, there's little motivation to take the effort to express your opinion (even when it's so easy on the intersnaps). On top of that, even if you do express an opinion, you're less likely to use superlatives, hyperbole, and other extreme language to make your point unless you're on an extreme of one of the axes. You thus end up with a zipfian where something on the order of less than 10% of the listeners contribute more than 90% of the comments, and of those that do bother to comment, less than 10% of them say anything in a particularly riled up way. (The numbers are made up for the purposes of illustrating the Long Tail, but depending on the coefficients for a given forum, are probably roughly accurate.)

Maybe seems a bit outdated now (after listening to this MANY times during High school).
But at the time, this was the shiz. Go MB...

Was going to hate on this song, but you know, life is short and the Moody Blues are one of the better examples of their era.

The opening "alert" always made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.
Of the song, I mean. Sort of.

I think every Moody Blues concert I saw ended with this song. I say "I think" for a reason. I think I was at the concerts... or maybe I just imagined it. Thinking is the best way to travel.

I heard he had just Turned On, Tuned In and Dropped Out and wasn't really dead the first time. |
