Well, the acorn never falls far from the tree, as they say.
I think it's time for the list to split into bitter factions: those who think the Moodies might have some redeeming qualities aside from early Mellotron usage, and those who know otherwise.

Pro: Con:
Justin's songwriting Ray (ALL aspects)
Lush harmonies (in studio) Graham's drumming (although he did
Tony Clarke's production appear to spend some time in the
Mike's arrangements woodshed circa "LDV"
Exciting albums (through "LDV" Live "harmonies"
and excluding "Octave") Adamant insistence on using "moon, June,
croon" rhyme schemes
No real tron post-Pinder/Moraz
The pompous orchestra
Actually believing they could make a
difference
Almost makes me wonder why I've been such a Moodies fan for all these years.
