Just who was it wrote that idiotic poetry?

[Archae]

On Moody Blues records?

I'm listening to the radio and heard "Knights In White Satin," and they included that poetry at the end, it just sounds idiotic to me.

1. Two words--Pete Sinfield

Worst lyricist in the history of rock (for King Crimson, not Moody Blues)

[RandomKoolzip]

3. No, Bernie Taupin!

Or the jackass from America.


At least Pete Sinfield wrote "21st Century Schizoid Man."

[jpgray]

5. Hmm. Who wrote the lyrics for Uriah Heep? (nt)

8. Said the straight man to the late man where have you been?

Consider the times, for example, Sinfield is a darn site better than Van Dyke Parks!

"Have you seen the Grand Coolie Dam....."

9. Yikes, recognize your sig image!

:D

Yes, I'm exaggerating. Pete's not the worst--I just enjoy poking fun at some of prog's excesses. :hi:

2. Isn't that Graham Edge, their flautist?

I LOVE the Moody Blues, esp. the two hits off that record, but that awful offal doggerel has GOT to go.

[jpgray]

4. Cool name though, Graham Edge

Not all crumbly and milk-softened like Graham Nash.

[Dogmudgeon]

6. Graeme Edge

He claims to have written most of it.

7. You mean that "Breathe deep, the gathering gloom" crap?
