The very last of your sentences has us in total agreement. I may have improperly used the word "rediscovered" whereas I meant, "discovered" New listeners discover his music, thereby making him a rediscovered talent.


Hmmm. I don't see the evidence for that, really. The MB are going the way of an awful lot of bands of their generation and locale, and that is the same way that most rock music will go in time.  Some just go faster than others.

I still maintain that you take particular glee in dumping on anything, "Moody Blues."

I don't have any particular axe to grind with them.  I don't like much of what they did (or even anything they did, come to think of it) but they don';t mean so much to me that I "dump on anything Moody Blues".  I admit I cannot understand why they are that revered round here.  

That's fine with me. I once loved their music though now it's subject matter is less relevant to me. I'm no longer, "...watching and waiting, for a friend to play with."

It's fair to point out that, yes, their lyrics were abominable.  Almost as bad as Sinfield's.
