The Moody Blues~Finally!!

[pegasus216]

To me, the best live performance of that song was when they did Red Rocks. That show was on PBS a few times. Justin poured his heart, and soul into that performance.

Blasphemy!!

The Monkees and J. Geils are bananas and apples! In no way are they similar.

J. Geils bands early stuff is top notch rock, blues, and soul. Listen to the Blow Your Face Out live album. All the proof you need!

I've never heard of a lot of those on the list.
I'd pick J. Geils Band, Eurythmics, The Cars, Dire Straits, and Bon Jovi

Edited to add that I thought Moody Blues were already there......

Sorry - I know this thread is about the Moody Blues (who I think are great) but I just have to post one more Zombies' song:

I have that CD, if it's the same one. They performed with the Colorado Philharmonic. Great music.

 

[Neesy]

Thank you! That was great

 

[Tilly]

That was my first thought when I saw the list, too!

I may be old, but Lennox puts the D in Diva. Would I lie to You? I'm not her friend, but i know whats in store. Hall of Fame? Not really. It would be difficult to get 9 off that list. Now, Tell Me Something Good is my new earworm.

I love Eurythmics, but dammit I'm not old enough for them to be inducted!
(all these bands are just aging me... *sigh* )
