OK, OK... re: the Moody Blues

All these Moody Blues posts lately (and a chill, rainy Sunday in Massachusetts), so tonight I've pulled out my venerable copy of "This is the Moody Blues" and am spinning it, side by side.

Yup, still like their 'hits'; some catchy tunes there (e.g., "The Question", "Ride My See-Saw"...), but the doggerel poetry and the general aura is pretty pretentious, pseudo-intellectual stuff. Isn't it? I think they just may have been the most pretentious of the psychedelic-era bands.

Am I missing something?

The sound quality of this greatest hits is mediocre at best (probably not too surprising for such a package).


all the best,
