From where I'm from, my phrasing is quite correct. It would be nice to be able to share without being picked on for something so petty. |

Sometimes some music can seem "good" or profound in a particular time, then, when heard years later, one can realize that it's really just overly-embellished, pretentious, and essentially silly. This song, in my opinion, is a fine example of that. |

This song lifts your spirit and even your body. A truly multidimensional pleasure! A perfect synchronicity of time, space and rhythm. Can you see and feel the waves emitted from this masterpiece?

Other Moodies songs that should be in the RP rotation:
Forever Autumn
Minor nit - Forever Autumn was Justin Hayward solo, from Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds" album. A bit schmaltzy for my taste, much prefer "Blue Guitar" which he recorded with the members of 10cc as the "Blue Jays". |

RRHOF does not like "progressive rock" and they categorize the Moodies that way.
No Moodies, Yes, King Crimson, Tull, or ELP I'm pretty sure.
Procol Harum?
Good luck!
Nitwits!
I think they recently broke down and inducted Genesis.
I think Pink FLoyd is in.
THat's about it.
The further away in style you are from rock's R&B roots, the less likely you are to get in.
So much for innovation in rock.
Double Nitwits!

Mr. Moody ( or is it Mr. Blue?) belts out a lot of -"ohhhhhhhhhhh, ohhhhhhhhhh's" in this song , huh.

Why do they have to be that way? Apparently they've forgotten the message in their early albums - peace and love. Hate to see musicians become jerks. |
