Mike Pinder

[SMiLE Brian]

Probably because he's both and idiot and gets a funny feeling in his tummy when he sees Justin Hayward singing Knights In White Satin at him....

, then afterwards the Moodies do the whole voyage suite just for him.

And then Mike gets down from the stage and dedicates "So Deep Within You" to Jan and sings it to him sitting in his lap.

Then Mike punches Jann out, and the Moodies call out the HOF harder than the Sex Pistols did.

And then a drunken Patrick Moraz is lowered onto the stage behind a massive keyboard, who then calls everyone out hard and performs the lengthy keyboard into to "22,000 Days" that they wouldn't let him put on the album!

Then plugs his new book, "haircare by Patrick Moraz"

A book that will include a CD of "Windows Of Time" to "stimulate" the hair follicles!

If they were inducted I can imagine that the inductees would be the Mark II lineup...although I think Denny Laine deserves to be alongside them. If Ray and Mike would play with them, that's another story. I'd like to hope they would.

I honestly couldn't care less if they got in or not. I don't need Jann Wenner's stamp of approval to validate my musical tastes. He can get in line with the long queue of people and kiss my ass.

Damn straight!

Wenner should be barred from the hall of fame and from having anything to do with "rock n roll" altogether. The public should vote the inductees in anyhow.

I really don't understand why Jann hates them so much, they made a revolutionary album in 1967 that was a great companion to Sgt. Pepper.

Jann Wenner hates everyone who isn't the Beatles, because music began and ended with the Beatles.

Jann is a sick man and history will forget him. The moodies will be remembered as music legends.

Imagine Mike Pinder in this 1980s moodies performance at 0.25.

Mojo is more Beatles-oriented than Rolling Stone. Jann is more of a Dylan guy, anyway.

I think John Lodge took pointers from Patrick on haircare in 1980s. I could almost start a thread on a moodies forum about John Lodge hairstyles.

People always talk about Justin being the hit with the female fans, but you'd be shocked at the John fans. Bunch of cougars looking to corrupt!

Didn't know that, where are the cougars for Ray, Graeme, Mike?

There was also a funny thread on a Moodies forum recently where the classic era male fans from 1970s were trying to figure out how the cougars took over a big chunk of  the moodies fanbase.

[Jason]

Ray and Graeme have some cougar fans. Mike, I doubt it. He was before the cougar era.

The cougars would be confused by this bald man giving deep lectures behind a mellotron at reunion.

If they had a DVD of the reunion concert, I would love to see cougar audience reaction shots of Mike doing the voyage.

It might go over well. Mike looks great nowadays. Looks like a dead ringer for Tony Levin.

[Jason]

Mike looks EXCELLENT for almost 71. Ray as well, even though he did put on a bit of weight.

I recently saw pictures of Mike and Ray hanging out in 2011, they both look healthy and enjoying retirement.

Apparently the Moodies are now working on a 12-disc box set to be released THIS year...also all previously unreleased stuff, too. Only thing confirmed to be part of it as of yet is the 1975 live recording of Justin and John in concert during the Blue Jays tour.

Holy sh*t!!!!! This year is going to be amazing.

[Jason]

I would be interested to see just WHAT they could put on a 12-disc box set of ALL previously unreleased stuff. As far as I recall, they don't have much in the way of unreleased songs and the 2006 reissues put many of them out there. Unless it's going to be mostly live stuff, of which they definitely have enough. Bring on that 1973-74 tour recording (if they still have it)!

[SMiLE Brian]

I would love more live  stuff with the moodies being the awesome live band they were by 1974. Even their "off" live show from 1969 is a great album.

[SMiLE Brian]

They could also release the original 1967 mix of DOFP as well.

12 CDs is a lot though, I am still trying to figure out how they will fill out 12 modern age CDs.

10 CDs of "PATRICK MORAZ REINTERPRETS "THE BIG SEVEN" AND BEYOND"?

Don't make me hate it.

In honor of "Pinder Goes to Kokomo", what would happen if Mike Pinder went to Kokomo?
