I know, but most kids today are just so spoonfed on modern music that they cant name many of the golden oldies other than the obvious ones (Zep, Floyd, Beatles, Etc)...I dont know anybody under the age of 20 who has heard of The Moody Blues, quite sad when considering that they were one of the most influencial and important bands from the 60s.

I am 19, and I have known of the moody blues for a long time, they have always intrigued me. I heard knights in white satin on the classic rock station a long time ago before I knew they had sung it, and thats when I started getting into them. Question, Tuesday afternoon, isnt life strange, story in your eyes, all great songs. I know what you mean about younger people and a lack of classic rock knowledge. I am one of very few people under 25 who is such a fan of so many older bands. Most kids are like yeah that song i want my mtv is so cool. Im like, um yeah its called money for nothin and they never know who sings it. Im so tired of kids being into bands like the killers and green day and others, its like, you wouldnt know good music if it was staring you right in the face.
