Well, they seemed to acknowledge "Go Now" for a while (

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antholo...Blues_album%29), but not anymore.
My point was that the current members of this band have willingly ignored/forgotten almost three (most enjoyable) years of its history, including an entire album, because they now consider the music produced in that time irrelevant, for no better reason than their musical style and line-up changed radically for several albums after. Going by their ideas, I wouldn't consider Bob Brunning a member of FM.
Now, I don't actually agree with The Moody Blues at all on this matter. As for whether Bob Brunning should be regarded as a member of FM... well, it's a lot like asking if a tomato should be regarded as a fruit - it's not up to us to decide how reality is!
Bob Brunning was a member. That's all there is to it. Why bother to ask if he should be regarded as such? A more pertinent question would be about whether he made any meaningful contributions to FM during his time as a member, or shaped the band's future significantly.
