Where did the moody blues come from ? Since their first album was made in 1965 they must be the first to make prog. ------------- omri |

All the Moodys except for Justin Hayward came from around Birmingham, right where I live. The inside cover picture in "In Search of the Lost Chord" shows the five of them standing in Cannon Hill Park which is just a couple of miles from me. I've been trying to locate the exact spot where they were standing at the time, as the park has changed a bit since 1968!
Also, the cover picture for Led Zeppelin IV (arguably the most famous cover photo in the world) was taken somewhere around Aston, just North of the centre of Birmingham. That's changed a bit too since then (they were knocking some old slum estates down at the time the photo was taken in 1972) ------------- [IMG]http://www.herring.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/DRMkillb.JPG"> http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4816930.stm - Right the Copyright Wrongs (Bill Thompson's BBC blog - essential reading!) |

Some more Birmingham based bands for you:
Black Sabbath Duran Duran E.L.O. Dexys Midnight Runners (Jim Patterson was a friend of mine) The Move UB40 There are probably plenty more but these are the only ones I know about. Nick Mason of Pink Floyd is a "Brummie" too. ------------- [IMG]http://www.herring.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/DRMkillb.JPG"> http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4816930.stm - Right the Copyright Wrongs (Bill Thompson's BBC blog - essential reading!) |

"Senior Member" with 1743 posts to your credit, and that's the best you can do? Tell me, were your other 1742 posts as acidic as this? I like this forum because of the positive attitude I usually find here. Pity some people seem to have problems with being positive. ------------- [IMG]http://www.herring.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/DRMkillb.JPG"> http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4816930.stm - Right the Copyright Wrongs (Bill Thompson's BBC blog - essential reading!) |

So why did they moved to the heart of stock broker Surrey at Cobham - now part of Chelsea FC sphere - within 4 miles of 3 out of the four greatest Liverpudlians.... and Cliff Richard? |

Yes, and the Moodies own the small CD shop named Threshold on the High Street in Cobham. Remember Sally James from the TV programme Tiswas? She owns the childrens outfitters down the other end of the High Street.

Won't 'england' do? Progressive rock simply DIDN'T grow out of a single city's 'scene'. |

the true "home of prog" is not a "stately mansion" anywhere near Birmingham at all, in reality it is probably a misty cottage in deepest snowdonia or a grubby office in Denmark Street. -------------  Prog Archives Tour Van

Used to drive passed it and could see several of the Moodies gold discs through the window of the upper floor office. Ed Macan claimed in Rocking The Classics, that prog wasa phenomonon of the home countries of England (i.e. the S.E.). He was wrong from one aspect of the original home towns of British prog musicians, but right about where the more successful ones ended up - i.e where property was a most profitable investment. |
