Surprising how similar Yes are to the Moodies... career wise... Both are kind of progressive rock... both are a bit mystical.. Both toured America playing to big stadiums and arenas.. Both had problems and splits but always got together again to make yet another album then yet another tour of America. Now in the teenies decade they are both legendary groups ( Both Yes and the Moodies are still waiting to be abducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame)

The Beatles really ... were a Supergroup.... they had 3 very talented and gifted songwriters The Moody Blues were a Supergroup too... with at least 3 of the guys writing brilliant songs. The Kinks just had Ray .... but what a songwriter he is .... and who can touch him as a lyricist ? Its great that he is still so active and touring ... he must love to perform on stage playing to very appreciative audiences ......... long may he reign !

quote My favourite singles of the Moodies are: Boulevard De La Madaleine - from 1965 and from 1970 - Question end quote a link to U tube would be nice !

you can moderate these forums with a deft hand or you can use hobnail boots After my efforts to get those novelty music links together and then posting them to the forum.... only to see them deleted in a second ............ its like a kick in the teeth !

One of the things I like about this forum is you can edit days, weeks later, lots of forums give you ten mins ! It would have been easy for you to pm me.... "your post looks untidy, please put the links in one post and delete the other posts" with the edit option I could have done that. Instead the post was simply deleted, no pm or anything else Anyway, Ill assume there was a pm and it did nt get thru Ill prob get round to reposting the thread.......... eventually !

theres only one pm up there....... welcome to Buzzjack but if the thread was about novelty music...... links to U tube is par for the course ! its in no way advertising or spam

Advertising ??? those links were simply links to songs in U tube all you had to do was hit them to find that out !!!

I post a new thread.. Novelty Music.. 10 mins later its disappeared, deleted

I guess the Moodies can be classed as a " Supergroup " like the Beatles, like Fleetwood Mac...... a group just choc full of talented songwriters. Justin Hayward and John Lodge ( bass ) joined at the same time in 1966

Ray is keeping active, he always seems to be on concert tours, he does TV , I saw him on a show on Belgium TV.... he did that big TV documentary on himself with that guy who used to be head of the BBC . Maybe the songwriting is nt there anymore, but he is not slowing down. Contrast Ray with Bowie ..... nada from the thin white duke these days .

Oh no ... it looks like my favourite rock chick has lost it big time I could hardly recognize her ! http://celebheaven.freepowerboards.com/vie...mp;p=4352#p4352 .

After years of touring UK and Europe with an 80s revival , nostalgia tour it looks like Carol and the guys have now got a permanent home REWIND HENLEY-ON-THAMES - AUGUST 17-19 2012 its becoming an annual event with tents, catering, illegal substances , etc anyone ever been ? I think it would be more fun than Glastonbury -in-the-mud !

All these parades that go on up and down the country each summer Manchester Pride etc.... They should all have at least one float belting out Abba music and a few hot chicks as Abba lookalikes.... that would really spice things up !

What an awesome songwriter Ray was ( is ) and lets remember he did both the lyrics and melody ... cant think he did much collaboration....back in the 60s and 70s . His lyric writing is brilliant in itself ! He obviously had great discipline back in the 60s to get down to work. Dave on the other hand seems to have been a big party animal and lived it large throughout the 60s....and 70s..... but Death of a Clown is proof that he too had been touched with a great songwriting talent... if only he had got down to it , like his brother Ray.

Lot of TV about the Bee Gees on UK TV tonight Easter Sunday. Interesting it was Eric Clapton who advised them to go to America and try writing there with a new vibe. They took his advice and a whole new career opened up for them as they became the Disco Kings. Also interesting they talked of composing songs, they would get together, work out the melody and do the lyrics next day .... ! so with the Bee Gees the melody came first !
