Zevon and Carly should be in also but the lack of Tull, the Moody's and ELP is quite shocking. As for ELP, especially now that Keith and Greg have passed. They were once the greatest show on Earth.

I got a pre-sale link from Facebook and was able to get the tickets today instead of waiting until tomorrow. I'm in for the Boston show!

P.S. For Boston at least, the pre-sale code was "SHOWTIME"

As JohnG and I can attest when we just seen him recently perform, Carl is in unbelievable shape. It won't be from natural causes, at least not in the foreseeable future.

Keith and Greg are jamming with Cozy anyway. :ohyes:

That's sad. He was a good drummer. Thanks for the great music you're a part of Graeme.

RIP, Graeme. Time to meet up with Charlie for a cognac.

I finally saw them in concert a few years ago. Still really good and Graeme was still playing with them. RIP.

Graeme was such a hoot. It's a weird juxtaposition, writing the poetry that got them accused of taking themselves too seriously, when he was clearly not someone who took life too seriously. Very glad I got to see both him and Ray on the 2001 tour.

R.I.P. Graeme.

I don't think the Hall of Shame has any legitimacy. Do fans of these bands care about some arbitrary, meaningless award? I know I don't. I just enjoy the music.

For what it’s worth, the Moody Blues were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.

Sprinter77 has told us just what the truth is, although we can't say any more. ;)

Why has the reputation of the Moody Blues been sullied by being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? It's an injustice!
