I recently got back in to ELO ( Electric Light Orchestra) for those not around in the 70’s, 80’s etc. Jeff Lynne was a pure disciple of the greatest band in the world , THE BEATLES. Now I know sometimes they get a little too close to the BEATLES, and I know they had their bad DISCO era ( LAST TRAIN TO LONDON), etc But the bottom line is that they had 20 GREAT songs and 10 Super Great songs. I think songs like EVIL WOMAN, SWEET TALKIN WOMAN, TURN TO STONE, ALL OVER THE WORLD, LIVIN THING, STRANGE MAGIC, TELEPHONE LINE, and MR BLUE SKY are some of the greatest songs ever made and that’s just their big hits.
Check out some of their videos on YOUTUBE.com and you’ll be amazed at how great a band they are. Please comment and let me know WHY THEY ARE NOT MORE REVERED ?

If you like Jeff Lynne, check out The Idle Race or The Move. He was there as well. I am a big Jeff Lynne fan since 1977. His melodies just send me to a better place. Also check out http://www.ftmusic.com/
