In my teens you were marked by the bands you favoured. In our school the most popular were ELP, Yes, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Genesis. I went for none of these, preferring the Moody Blues, a predilection I shared with just one other adherent, whose good taste in this regard I still thank. But here's the funny thing, the only Moodies song any of the unconverted knew was the dirge-like Nights in White Satin. I found this mildly embarrassing since I have never really liked the track.
And here's another funny thing - some people think American Punk is an oxymoron. All I know is that when my least favourite Moody Blues track meshes with American Punk we get this joyous confection from the Dickies.
