brownie Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Probably not too many fans here - but Days of Future Passed is a ground breaking album. In Search of The Lost Chord is also great. The rest are hit and miss for me. I love the Moody Blues and saw them many times back in the day. Seventh Sojourn is my favorite, but there are songs I love on all of their albums. I saw Justin Hayward solo a couple of years ago and it was just as good as seeing the Moodies! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 I didn't know this until not too long ago. Mike Pinder actually worked in the factory where Mellotrons were built. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Bon Jovi are terrible and undeserving of even a nomination.While I agree with your first assertion, the second part of your statement is an obviously fallacy, based upon the history of past inductees. This is not an award for artistic merit, this is a popularity contest. By that measure, they absolutely belong in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Fair enough. It just feels so good to rip on Bon Jovi though, I couldn't help it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Passenger Sid Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 To me, Bon Jovi will always be a one-hit wonder band. "Wanted Dead Alive" is so freaking cool and so freaking great. I find the rest of their output so freaking NOT cool and so freaking NOT great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 If anyone's grocery store pumps in music from the same satellite mine grabs from, you are probably overly familiar with a recent offering of Bon Jovi's, a travesty of a song called something like "who says you can't go home again", with an unforgivable repeated chant of "s'allright, s'allright, s'allright, s'allright..." It's the worst thing they've ever done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 Of course - writing that stuff has made him a very wealthy man. At least he is going to let the guys who left the band on stage for the ceremony. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Mountain bed co-wrote it. Or, made love to it a few times, at least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Always a nice evening out. Legend of a Mind is the one for me. Really a nice song - the flute solo in the middle gives me chills.Mountain bed co-wrote it.

remphish1 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Ok for a little I got to stand up for Jovi. Yes he writes tons of pedestrian songs. He has a few I like Runaway, Etc however in terms of a person he is a real stand up guy. He has done so much for the local community here. He has opened up several pay what you want restaurants for the poor in the community. He has also donated playgrounds, tons of money and volunteered all over the state. For that I am happy he is getting recognized still musically he should not be in over Radiohead and Depeche thought! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

roadhse ma Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 The first two are probably the best. Down to the Waterline is one of my favorite Dire Straits songs.Great song !Seen Mark Knopfler early 2000s and he was still rocking with a solid band.Got Brothers in Arms for the Encore,floated home.Saw him again a few years ago nice night but that 1st time was amazing.
