    They were unique with their sound. Jeff Lynne was their singer, and basically all around guru. He was their producer, arranger, and wrote well over 90% of the songs. They have the distinction of having the most top 40 hits (20), without ever having a #1. Not sure what you've already reacted to, but Livin Thing, Telephone Line and Evil Woman are must listens.

    This was one of ELO's earliest hits, after Jeff Lynne's father said his music had no melody. So Lynne focused on that for the next album. Great next songs from ELO would include "Sweet Talkin' Woman," "Turn to Stone," "Don't Bring Me Down," and "Rockaria!", an out-and-out blending of rock and opera/classical.

      Wait! Have they heard "Evil Woman" by ELO yet? (I do love ELO, though and have several of their albums.) That song popularized ELO in the USA, and came prior to these other songs. They'd likely love that one. However, if they are looking for smooth, beautiful, gentle and flowing music they must try "Year of the Cat" by Al Stewart.

    ELO had a sound that transcended decades. You've done five of their songs so far (this, "Last Train to London", "Evil Woman", "Mr. Blue Sky", and "Tight Rope"), all from their 70s discography... but they had some awesome 80s tunes that you should also check out. "Xanadu" (feat. Olivia Newton John), "All Over the World", "Hold On Tight", and one of my personal favorites, "Rock and Roll is King". The lead singer is the legendary Jeff Lynne, whom you've also seen as part of the Traveling Wilburys with Bob Dylan, Roy Oribson, George Harrison, and Tom Petty.

    One of the reasons you guys are so popular is you are on top of your game with your choices of bands and songs to react to. ELO is another awesome band from the 70s and one of those bands that literally have well over twenty amazing songs you could listen to. I'll have to see what songs you've already reacted to but I'll add a nice ELO hits list shortly. Lead singer is the great Jeff Lynn who wrote and sang everything. At one time he was producing Tom Petty, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, and Bob Dylan all around the same time. This is how the Travel Wilburys were created which he was in and produced. Just a genius for sure. Thank God he started finally touring again just before Covid hit. He'll be touring again as soon as things get to normal. If you get the chance to seem him live don't miss it!! Peace, Love, Courage from David in Detroit!

    Jeff Lynne, a genius in his genre, went to classical music school. To have named his group Electric Light ORCHESTRA was not without reason. He recovered, from scholarly music, what is called the "full sound". In short, although ELO was not a symphony orchestra, Jeff Lynne arranged his musical composition so that the result sounded like the full sound of a symphony or philharmonic orchestra. Thanks to you two.

    I listen to ELO a lot and they remain one of my favourite bands. Jeff Lynne is an absolute musical genius - in terms of musical ability, production, lyrics, arrangements, etc. He has a real mastership of it all and even now at the age of 74, his voice is still brilliant as you can see from recent live videos. They have a very unique sound and in terms of their overall place in music lore, I think they serve as somewhat of a bridge between The Beatles and Queen. Definitely a band worth checking out even more on your channel. This particular song is a popular one but having watched a few reactions to it on YT, not many people seem to have noted the dreamlike, ethereal quality of it all - from the more muted singing to the tone of the instruments - so was great to hear Amber note that. It's a very skillfully put together song.

    Speaking of floating, you should listen to "Float On" by The Floaters. It's about as floating as you could get musically. As far as ELO, I'm still waiting for "Telephone Line" and "Turn To Stone." Those are 100% bangers!!!

    Hyde Park concert. Whether you "react" to it or not is immaterial. You have to see them do their works live! It is incredible. Y'all be safe from a T-Town boy!!

    So happy reacton!! So natural and funny.
    And it was because the song is a masterpiece.
    I did love the ELO before knowing this song, but after that I was 100% sure this band will be with me forever. And it's my favorite band with The Beatles.
    Please, do "All Over the World" and you will definitely love them.
    Regards from Chile!! :-)

  • @barbkennedy9382

    Loved ELO...This song was in a movie you 'Should' watch...'Ella Enchanted'...it is kinda like 'The Princess Bride' and 'Cinderella' put together. Another song is 'Xanadu" which was in a movie musical with the same title. They were a very popular band.

  • @tk72231968
    @tk72231968 Před 2 lety +21

    Jeff Lynne is really super talented. ELO, Travelling Wilburys, and a has done a massive amount of work with other artists...way too many to mention here.

  • @billyf2833
    @billyf2833 Před 2 lety +3

    Jeff Lynne is one of my top 5 singers of all time. This is 1 of my favs. Next reaction should be Sweet Talkin' Woman. You will trip on that one. The arrangement is extraordinary. It's kinda like futuristic 50's do-wop.

  • @jangle4246
    @jangle4246 Před 2 lety +2

    This great ELO song is from a time when everybody listened to the radio, both at home and in the car. A few other hits from about that time are “Right Back Where We Started From” by Maxine Nightingale, “Sky High” by Jigsaw, and “December, 1963 (Oh What a Night!)” by Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons.

  • @scorpiouk5914
    @scorpiouk5914 Před 2 lety +3

    ELO was one of those bands that I grew up heating on the radio, but never put it together until I was older that it was the same band doing all these songs I liked. They did the music (mostly) for a much maligned movie called "Xanadu" that you should check out at some point.

  • @Sniper33321
    @Sniper33321 Před 2 lety +5

    Love ELO. My favourite band. 3 down and many many more to go guys… Telephone Line, Roll Over Beethoven, Living Thing, Tightrope and Shangri-La would be excellent choices.

  • @mikec3853
    @mikec3853 Před 2 lety +3

    Jeff Lynne is the lead singer, songwriter, producer and there is a lot of variety to ELO but all of it is excellent. He also worked with George Harrison, The Traveling Wilburys, Tom Petty, The Beatles! The wistfulness of this, the rockin' "Do Ya", you've done some of their disco bangers, how about the 50's tribute "Rock And Roll Is King", "Rockaria" which is their nod to Chuck Berry and "Roll Over, Beethoven" (which they also did a cover version) and "All Over The World", 4 minutes of pure uplift.

  • @toddedwards5144

    To me the first time I heard ELO is when they released their version of Roll Over Beethoven. The arrangement, production, instrumentation, etc. made their version the best version to my tastes. I challenge you to listen without getting hooked.

  • @MustardSeedish
    @MustardSeedish Před 2 lety +4

    Livin Thing, Turn to Stone, All Over the World, Do Ya, and I can go on. Keep it up with ELO. They're sorely underrated and deserve all the attention.

  • @peterokeeffe8307

    I love it when you choose some of my favourite bands - this is one of them. I am generally into hard rock but ELO has stood the test of time for me as well. I suggest you also check out Alan Parsons Project - maybe the song 'The Games People Play'. But there are quite a few good songs from them!

  • @mikephillips8810
    @mikephillips8810 Před 2 lety +4

    Been in love with Jeff's and ELO's songs and voice since the mid 1970s, but was young and couldn't get to a live ELO show until early 80s. Their music stays with you.
    When you've done a few more of their older classics, could also try a couple of his albums from the last few years - it still sounds like classic '70s!
    I can't remember what you've already done, apart from maybe Mr Blue Sky, but just a few others: Showdown, Tightrope, Telephone Line, Rockaria, Livin Thing, Turn to Stone, Sweet Talking Woman, All Over The World, Ticket to the Moon, The Diary of Horace Wimp....there are many!!!

  • @stevedarragh
    @stevedarragh Před 2 lety +1

    Probably posted but the lead singer is Jeff Lynne. He was singer and guitarist with the original ELO. He later went on to re-work all of ELO's hits, where he played guitar, drums, keyboard, and bass with the help of Richard Tandy, who played keyboard for the original line-up. Lynne has also produced the Beatles, including the 'found' tape "Free As A Bird" by John Lennon after his death. Also Lynne was an integral member of the Travelling Wilburys with The Big O, George Harrison, Tom Petty, et al.

  • @ajgonzalez5236

    Yes, Jeff Lynne is Mr. ELO
    You should find one from their LIVE from Wembley show
    Lots of video on CZcams from that show
    Jeff recently reformed and toured ELO with a whole band of top notch musicians. They captured from their sold out Wembley show from 2018
    The concert footage is absolutely beautiful and they sound so much like their original recordings. We'll worth it
    Had the pleasure of seeing this tour twice. Hopefully they bring it back one more time
    Nice one guys (and gals)!

    ELO does a fantastic job of conveying particular themes through sound. The two best examples for me are the sound of Telephone Line, and the bright magic with sometimes strange undertones that seems to burst from the vocals and harmonies in this song.

  • @kennethhooper9569
    @kennethhooper9569 Před 2 lety +5

    The album Time by ELO is one incredible piece of music. Here are a few suggestions from that album. Twilight, Ticket To The Moon, The Way Life’s Meant To Be, Rain Is Falling, From The End Of The World, Here Is The News, 21st Century Man, Hold On Tight. The whole album is just amazing. Keep it going I’m loving what you both are doing. I also love your other channel too. It’s great seeing you with your kids you seem like great parents.

    "Strange Magic" was Billboard Charts Magic for ELO! A solid GOLD #14 on the charts smash! And they had such a magical way of blending in the classical music string sections, heightening each section of the song! Mystical! Magical!

  • @krisdoggett483
    @krisdoggett483 Před rokem +1

    "Do Ya", "Telephone Line", "Can't Get It Out of My Head " and their classic instrumental piece, "Fire On High". Should be titled "blow you away"😁

  • @erinb.5103

    You guys have done several of ELO’s song and I’ve requested you do at least ONE song by The Little River Band ( Cool Change) yet you haven’t done any of their hits. And they had a lot of great songs in the 1970’s ( reminiscing, lady( not the Kenny Rogers lady), lonesome loser, help is on it’s way, & take it easy on me) These we’re all great hits. Their bad was awesome and I think you would love their sound. Could you please try them ?

    • @garysunshine9643
      @garysunshine9643 Před 2 lety +2

      Agree. I love ELO, but i'd rather hear the best song by LRB, Al Stewart and others than the 15th best songs of ELO and Hall & Oates and Aerosmith, much less Tom Jones, assorted metal bands and random country songs from the 50s. So much great music not from RS's favorite acts that they would really enjoy if they'd give it a try. Here's hoping.

    If you want to get into some really great ELO, try "Fire on High" an instrumental with strange intro but became very popular when it got picked up as the theme for CBS Sports Spectacular (The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat) from 1976- 1978.
