But the Moody Blues "VUs way over into distortion" hit "Go Now" was more of a standard pop song for the era. So I guess they "evolved" into something else later. Don't know if it was the style or the poor recording that keeps "Go Now" off Moody Blues compilation. I only vaguely recall Merry Go Round. I'll have to refresh my memory on that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107206485879454464.post-59676655899289323962008-03-04T23:47:00.000-08:002008-03-04T23:47:00.000-08:00"Early progressive rock"...(continuing the discuss..."Early progressive rock"...(continuing the discussion from the comments under the "Lost My Walk Man" entry a few items back)...good descriptor, also conjuring up the Electric Prunes' "Too Much To Dream." But alongside that genre I remember one I'll similarly refer to as "early alternative rock" in which I'd put the two hits each (name them! I know you can) of each of these two-hit-wonder groups: the Beau Brummels, the Left Bank(e?), and (the toughest on your memory - yes, relying on memory is more fun than looking it up), the Merry-Go-Round. I have their album that includes their two hits.stubbleyouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09371649185526595290noreply@blogger.com
