Electric Light Orchestra

wasent that an album that jeff lyne wasent even on?

 

It was Roy Wood that had left the band...when he split Lynne became the leader.

I love Out Of The Blue(1977). I remember the album was a double and the gatefold was awesome. Now it is just a single cd. I miss albums(sigh) .

I also love Face The Music(1975). ELO is on my list of bands to see live before I die. They played twice in 2002. Did anyone see either show?

Jeff Lynne had a great solo album Armchair Theater(1990). And TheTraveling Wilbury's had a good career. Right now he's working with Tom Petty again.

I am a big fan of anything that Jeff Lynne puts his ideas into. I think he has a true musical gift.

And who else could look this groovy?

 

hey wheres the best place to hear whether they are touring?

 

I like ELO quite a bit. I wouldn't say I love them...yet...but since I'm a Beatles Follower I can hear Beatley influences.

I also really, really, really love Jeff Lynne's production on George Harrison's "Cloud Nine" and "Brainwashed" albums, and Tom Petty's "Full Moon Fever". He took that Phil Spector Wall-of-Sound thing and turned it so that it still sounded full, but didn't overrun the vocals like what happened in "All Things Must Pass" where it had a rich quality, but the vocals were practically buried.

Hmmmm.... I think I have "A New World Record" on vinyl. Maybe I'll go dig it out.

I love the travelling wilburies, too bad two of the members had died since then...

 

i like his work with tom petty

 

yeah, full moon fever is a great album!! and to think it wasnt a heartbreaker album........

 

I think the best song that ELO made was "Strange Magic"(1975).

 

Diary Of Horace Wimp is an awesome song

 

The Eldorado album is probably the best one... I really love 'Laredo Tornado'.

 

yea man,there totally an interessting band,though i didnt hear mention of my personal favourite song for every rainy day"mr.blue sky"

 

ELO did their best work for the Xanadu soundtrack.

 

I love "Telephone Line", especially on vinyl...

 

Their amazing..

 

ELO is incredible...I love Evil Woman..

 

jeff lynne is a genius,and the layered arrangements are masterfully done

 

I likes ELO. Fav song of mine was always Fire on High from the Face the Music album, but there are many other top notch songs in their catalogue.

 

A good band only when they play rock.....luv the dancier stuff less
