Man, I can't get enough ELO music today

[LynneSin]

I just love listening & jamming to their music - has to be one of my favorite bands of all time!

1. Mine too!

I've loved them since I was a kid.

4. Seriously - same here, I loved them before I loved Led Zeppelin

And although technically I adore Led Zeppelin more today than ELO, there is a special place in my heart for the music of this band. My very first album I ever bought with my very own money was ELO's "Out of the Blue"

I'm listening to "New World Record" right now - 'So Fine' is on

Ironcially my best friend's husband (she was my college roomie) is also a big ELO fan. He has some pretty hard to find ELO bootlegs

2. Can't get it out of your head, huh?

well, don't turn to stone, Mr. Bluesky. uh.... crap.

3. HAHAHA - that's really really good

:D

5. I too grew up on them, along with the "standards"

such as Beatles, Zeppelin, Stones, Tull, etc. I was trying to work in a Rockaria or Mission in that joke, but no dice.

6. "Out of the Blue" has got to be one of the best double albums ever.

Now that I'm old I even like "The Whale", or whatever that instrumental track is that I used to skip the needle over in my callow youth.

7. Have you seen this video of Jeff Lynne doing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

with Tom Petty, Prince, and little Dhani!

8. I love the song "Do Ya"

They have many great pop songs. Jeff Lynne knew how to write a hook.

9. They did the best version of Roll Over Beethoven I have ever heard!

The violin really adds a lot to that song.

11. One of my favorite songs is "Mr Blue Sky."

[Cobalt-60]

12. It's the real stuff

I've been on the ELO since I first encountered it in the 70's.
I was fortunate to see them live once in St. Louis.
It's the only act I've ever seen that had a rocking Cello solo.

13. I wish I could remember if I saw them in concert

back then. Seriously, I do not know, but I think I did. :)

I also wonder if I saw Alice Cooper...
