The Moody Blues - Question

[LynneSin]

[A Simple Game]

1. One of my favorites by my favorite band.

The fact that they aren't in the Hall of Fame proves that the Hall of Fame is a farce.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. yep.

6. Add Warren Zevon,

and you've got double farce. KISS??? Give me a f***ing break.

[A Simple Game]

9. Sadly we are way past a double farce. Too many that are worthy are excluded to mention. n/t

[Le Taz Hot]

2. Ditto the abive poster.

I've seen them several times in Concert.

4. Looking for a miracle in my life...

I can remember making-out in HS to the Moody Blues... Surprisingly good make-out music...

LOL

5. There is a great multi-part documentary on the Moodies

that can be found on Youtube. Justin Hayward tells the story behind this song. He literally combined two half-finished songs into "Question" the night before they started recording A Question of Balance and was surprised and quite pleased with himself that it actually worked and the rest of the guys loved it.

They are all such incredibly nice guys, though Graeme is definitely the funniest one. His reaction to the interviewer's mention of Patrick Moraz? "Oh, that mad Swiss git!!"

7. I love the Moody Blues! BUT...

Who wrote that screwy poetry on their albums?

"This garden universe vibrates complete..."

8. Graeme Edge.

He's a drummer, cut him some slack.

12. "Breathe deep, the gathering gloom........."

Another day's useless energy is spent..........

16. LOVE this! Welcome to DU, Nevada Blue!

Glad you're here! LOVE this song! I saw them do this one live, and they had the stage spotlights aimed out at the crowd during the chorus - like searchlights. VERY cool! Gave you the sense that they were searching - for YOU! GREAT effect!!!

13. Just saw Denny Laine last Wednesday! He sang "Go Now," among others, and "Band on the Run" encore.

[Tom Kitten]

14. The first 6 albums I ever bought were...

1. Days Of Future Passed
2. In Search Of The Lost Chord
3. To Our Children's Children's Children
4. On The Threshold Of A Dream
5. A Question Of Balance
6. Every Good Boy Deserves Favor

All absolute classics and I still have them all on vinyl! They are timeless, like the Beatles.

"Question" was the first song I heard by them on the radio (I was 12 years old)...I misheard the dj pronounce their name and for awhile I was into this cool group called the "Movie Blues"!

15. The best! LOVE these guys!
