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"

Their first 6 or 7 albums are some of the best music ever made, by anyone. They should have been in the hall of fame back in 72 IMO. But something tells me they (the band) don't give a rats ass about that kind of thing. They love music and it shows in all their work and their performances. I am a life long fan and have seen them in concert here in Canada pretty well every year since 1982. I would rather them come out with a new album (its been about 8-9 years since 'December' came out) than worry about them being inducted into the hall of fame.
Anyone that appreciates the Moodies, should seek out John/Justin’s “Blue Jays” (mid 70’s), Mike Pinder’s “The Promise” (mid 70’s) or anyone of Justin Hayward'S solo albums, especially “View from the Hill” (mid 90’s). Even Ray Thomas, who is now retired from the band came out with two solo albums back in the 70’s that are a bit hard to find but equally phenomenal in both sound and quality of music. “From Mighty Oaks” (1975) and “Hopes Wishes and Dreams” (1976). Good listening.
