    ELO is one of my favourite bands. In the late 60s and early seventies bands like the beatles and ELO came along and took song writing to another level which has rarely been matched even today. These bands are the classic composers of tthis century like Mozart and Beathoven were in their day.

    You could spend days taking a deep dive into Jeff Lynne/ELO. Thank you!! Do Ya, Mr. Blue Sky, Can't Get It Out of My Head, and Showdown are great. ELO's Showdown was a favorite song of John Lennon. Lennon remarked that ELO were the "Sons of the Beatles". Ringo Starr and George Harrison made frequent guest appearances on ELO albums.

  • @L1623VP
    @L1623VP Před rokem +6

    I totally agree at 12:48. ELO was NOT a Beatles knock-off band. I'm familiar with the Beatles (not a fan), and never understood the comparison. ELO has a sound that's much fuller and far more orchestral than anything the Beatles did, and their background vocal arrangements are far more complex. ELO is really it's own thing the way it integrates the orchestra into traditional pop music instruments. No other group sounds like that. The instant you hear them, you know exactly who it is. Nick is right. ELO has a very distinct sound and identity separate from the Beatles.

  • @palmyreatkinson518

  • @OriginalLictre
    @OriginalLictre Před rokem +4

    If you want an excellent song for comparing and contrasting E.L.O. and the Beatles, "Roll Over, Beethoven" is THE song to go to. In fact, I'll add a third performance of it to check out, and a sequence... Chuck Berry's original of "Roll Over, Beethoven", followed by the Beatles cover of it, capped off by ELO performing it. It's a one-song history of rock through the seventies.

      Disco was an incredible part of late 70's early 80's music. Most that don't appreciate it are those who can't branch out from their normal buffet of Rock. Some real good tunes came out of it.

    • @mowerdan8133
      @mowerdan8133 Před rokem +6

    The entire A New World Record (1976) album is classic as is the follow-up, eclectic double LP Out of the Blue (1977). Both are masterpieces and my favourite two ELO albums. I love every song off both LPs. Try the catchy, more rockin' Do Ya, the super sad Telephone Line and the audacious, unusual Rockaria, all from a New World Record. Out of the Blue has too many bangers to name. "I either like it or love it.' Well said, Nick.
    ELO and Supertramp have always been my two favourite bands.

    @stevenscharmer1765 Před rokem +5

    Since you noted that you've only reacted to ELO's pop-rock style, I'll suggest a few other types of their songs. All of these are great songs too!
    • Fire On High - an instrumental that is somewhat proggy with a creepy intro
    • Rockaria - rock 'n roll with some opera bits thrown in
    • Mission (A World Record) - moody and psychedelic with sci-fi lyrics
    • Shine A Little Love - full on Disco rock, accented with some hard rock riffs in spots
    Thanks for doing more ELO!

    One of my favorite songs ever! And I'm sure I heard it for the first time as a little kid in my parents car. Sure!!!
    I love the ELO, and I fully agree with your comments guys. Love it.
    About Disco, I think the ELO, without intention, could be Disco parents...maybe that's why they kind to be underrated during the 80's, like Bee Gees, but they didn't do that intentionally. They just did excellent music.
    Other favorites are: All Over the World, Last train to London, Sweet talking Woman, Evil Woman, Shine a little Love (funniest ever song I heard) and Mr Blue Sky.

    I graduated in 1978 and there were certain albums that it seemed like everybody had including this one. I would almost put ELO in the progressive genre although back in the day we weren't as quick to categorize everything. But all my friends listened to Kansas and Styx and Boston, etc. I didn't hear the term "progressive rock" until a couple decades later.

    Hello gentlemen 👋 I don’t know if you’ll see this as this is six months ago… But I know you like ELO as I’m exploring your channel. I IMPLORE you to have a listen to ELO’s “Fire On High” from the album Face the Music in 1975. I was 15 and went to see them as often as I could back then. Fire On High starts weird AF, but it doesn’t stay weird and you’ll love the strings, Jeff Lynne’s acoustic guitar and BEV BEVAN’S amazing drum vibe. I subscribed and hope you’ll take me up on my suggestion; you won’t regret it. Peace ✌️ from O.D. In Phila. PA 🌆

    Q Magazine was a music magazine from Britain and it was actually really good and they interviewed everyone from major artists to up and coming artists. I used to buy it every single month. They had a broad minded way if looking at music. And they LOVED Elo. They LOVED Jeff Lynne. They didn't mean any disrespect to Elo. They talked about Elo's genius quite a lot.

    Great stuff by Jeff and ELO. Reminds me you guys need to get back to some Steely Dan. Try Royal Scam (album) title track if you don't mind blowing your minds. So good.

    Happy vibes, for sure! Mr. Blue Sky by ELO is known as the happiest song ever. You must hear it 😊 Subscribing now.
