How not to be in a 'moody' mood after reading such a news ?

That and "When You're a Free Man" are two of his best I think!

So sad. What an icon. One of the prime movers in bringing the Chamberlin/Mellotron to rock music. And a great songwriter to boot!

^Not only that but his spoken word parts added something rather unique to the music as well. RIP Mike.

Sad news indeed. May he rest in peace. A true genius who sometimes has been under appreciated. My condolences to his family, friends and family.

I can't count the number of times Mr. Pinders' spoken words have rolled around in my head over the decades...

Mike Pinder for me was one of the true giants of the dawning of prog. He was capable of making a notoriously finnicky instrument bend to his will, as well as being a great songwriter and vocalist.
When he left the Moody's they stopped being the Moody Blues as far as I'm concerned. RIP Edited by Hugh Manatee - April 26 2024 at 21:15 |
