I don't know why... But I don't like the Moodys. Something about them I don't like. Can't put my finger on it. Kind of mellow, but we can see by my picks I sometimes like mellow. I'm sure Mark will tell me ..

Mello... yet cerebral... vaguely psychedelic...

Jeff, Sometimes I can't put my finger on it either..Not so with AC/DC, Led Zep

Some might know this, but the Moodys first hit it big with a cover of a Bessie Banks song..(Go Now !)..This was 1965 A bit later , Denny Laine (later of Wings) left the group.
Justin Hayward stepped in , as lead guitarist, vocalist and chief songwriter.
The Days of Future Past featured a symphony orchestra up front, and sold a whole bunch of copies. Lots of bands used symphonies, such as Procol Harum, The Beatles
But the critics claimed the Moodys were not a R&R band. This is why, IMO, it took them so long to get into the R&R HOF. They were NOT known for scandals, arguments, and heavy booze and drug abuse... In other words, they didn't fit in.

I think, if I was able to come back as someone else, it would be Justin Hayward!
Multi -talented , classy guy..
I figure if I could sit down with my guitar, and all these great riffs and lyrics would just come to me, I wouldn't be in the garage, having a 25 year old car kick my ***.
I might be at one of my houses at Cornwall by the Sea ;-)

For me its the Doors, Joni Mitchell, Bruce Springsteen (to me he sings like he has a mouth full of dog do do).... there's several others. As I think of them I'll add them,

Then there's other ones, no matter if they been played to death or not, every time I hear them I reach over and turn them up ..
Sweet Home Alabama, Layla, Long Way to the Top, Carry On My Wayward Son,, and others that I will add as I recall

Some songs seem timeless to me... Midnight Rider (original version ABB) Listen to the Music. Doobies, Do you believe in Magic... Spoonful, Sunny Afternoon., Kinks
More than a Feeling..Boston, as if anyone didn't know ;-)

The people who disliked this should immediately get a covid test as one of the symptoms is no taste.

Re: Musical Tastes
 

Speaking of timeless...this song is 54 years old, but it doesn't sound like it to me.

If today's musicians could write and play songs like this, they wouldn't suck ;-)
