MORE, MORE, MORE ELO!!! Strange Magic, Do Ya, Sweet Talkin' Woman, Telephone Line, Mr. Blue Sky, Turn To Stone, Can't Get It Out Of My Head, Evil Woman.... ALL AMAZING! Jeff Lynne is a GENIUS song writer and producer. Worked with George Harrison, Traveling Wilburys.....
Can't get it out of my head is a beautiful song
Strange Magic is awesome. The family truckster rules.
Genius is right. So many catchy melodies over such a long time. Can't get you out of my head is my fave, but as everyone's saying where do you start?.
Standing in the rain
Concur
Welcome to the beautiful world of ELO. Jeff Lynne is a legend.
Some facts about Jeff Lynne (ELO)...First, he is a very humble man, simply because this Music Genius is not interested in fame, the limelight, and money, he just loves to create great music. Jeff Lynne is one of the most versatile musicians ever, this is why he is considered by his peers to be among the greatest. He didn't stick to one style of music because, after decades, it gets boring. Jeff has done progressive Rock, Symphonic Rock - Pop, New wave, and Disco.
Everything he does turns to gold. He even flirted with Country music. From 1972 to 1986 (During 14 years) Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world... 51 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas, festivals and Stadiums. During Jeff Lynne's ELO 2019 Tour, many reviews agreed in saying they are the best live Classic Rock Band in the world still touring and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius( From Forbes Magazine and the Washington Post).
ELO is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Songwriter award ( ASCAP ) in 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. In October of 2020, Jeff Lynne has been made an officer of The Order Of The British Empire for his extraordinary contribution to music. He previously has received three Ivor Novello Awards, which celebrate songwriters and composers, including the award for outstanding services to British music.
He created the best Super Group of all time with his best friend George Harrison, The Traveling Wilburys. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Jeff Lynne has written and produced many hit songs for music legends like George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, The Beatles, and so many others...
I just wanna say how fucking cool this is...I'm 57, and to see you guys react so positively to the music of my youth is just fantastic.
Right, I like these guys more now, knowing that with all the heavy rock they review, then still really like ELO
Music of "YOUR youth?" I'm 70 and it's also music of MY "yoot!" June
I’m a millennial but raised on my dad’s music. When I do find people (of any age but especially around my age) that connect so deeply to the same music as me - it’s magic (pun intended). Truly.
Same here.
Mr. Blue Sky...the happiest song of all-time
Watch the reaction to it by Kel-n-Rich : )
CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG
Honestly, they should do the whole 'Concerto for a Rainy Day' suite: "Standing in the Rain"/"Big Wheels"/"Summer and Lightning"/"Mr. Blue Sky"
Happy AND complex!!
Yep! It's the song Yellow Submarine wanted to be... and I love me some Yellow Submarine!
Agree! Turn to Stone next or Mr. Blue Sky!!! Also, still pushing for Triumph!!!! LOL
ELO is the most uplifting band in this world. The best music therapy!
I've been listening to ELO since the 70's. Jeff Lynne is a genius! I fell in love with them when I heard the violins and cellos. They have such a unique sound.
It's such a rich sound. Fabulous. I wish I'd heard them live in concert!
Jeff Lynne the founder of The Travelling Wilburys, and the War of the worlds album
Is this really their first ELO song?!? Cause if it is they're about to go down an incredible rabbit hole. ELO was a hit machine for decades and nobody sounds like them.
At first, I thought, no! This is the wrong one to start with! But considering the reaction, I've done a complete flip. Strap in, guys!
Can I suggest Wild West Hero and Rockaria!. Two of my favourites and often overlooked.😎
I didn't think this was their first song from ELO, but it's kinda good that is was - gave a nice orchestral intro 😁
OMG - I think Jamel listened to every ELO song but he was calling them E-Lo, like J-Lo for awhile. Short song but I really like Mr. Blue Sky. You should also do the Allman's "Blue Sky" - two happy great songs.
ELO had been going some years before this with a few albums behind them
Jeff Lynne is the genius behind ELO. He's up there with Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. Lynne can play almost any instrument imaginable. A true virtuoso.
Musician and producer. I think that's why it still seems modern when compared to current producer-heavy pop music.
To bad he nor most of the 'BAND' could play LIVE in the mid 70s.
I think "virtuoso" refers to super high skills, like Vai on guitar or Emerson on keyboards. Lynne is not like that, but he can come up with exactly what a song is calling for. For example his guitar solos are short and simple, but tasteful and effective (I'm thinking Showdown, Mr. Blue Sky...).
Rumor has it that "Out of the Blue" - double album - was writtin in a few days. Some of the lyrics bear that out... but still. There are some major classics on that album.
You boys have no idea how happy it makes me to have people from your generation hear the music from my generation.
Jeff Lynn is a music genius!!
Had the pleasure to see him live @MSG!! Out of this world!!❤❤
John Lennon referred to ELO as "Son of Beatles". Saw Jeff Lynne's ELO last year! 70 years old and his voice sounds exactly the same! Great show!
Jeff Lynne is ELO. When he heard the Beatles’ I Am The Walrus, he thought, “I want to make a band based on this.”. He did so and more.
He was in the band The Idle Race when "Walrus" came out. Most bands in the UK were heavily influenced by The Beatles. Three LPs with that band, which are very Beatlesque, then joined The Move for their final two LPs and singles. The Move also very comparable to The Beatles but had their own flair.
My dad passed recently and He loved Elo. Thanks for playing this.
Jeff Lynne is a musical genius. ELO is my happy music such vibes. I love them.
ELO is a deeeeeep rabbit hole.
"Fire on High"
"Sweet Talkin' Woman"
"Mr. Blue Sky"
Those are my top three.
Provides A&A list of the best ELO songs.
The list is ELO's discography.
They never really released a "bad" song, just some lesser known ones, and go DEEP for live shows and play a whole lot of music. Cannot go wrong with some Electric Lights Orchestra.
Agree. 🤗
Do Yah
Fire on High is an awesome choice and an interesting one for those who've only heard the singles.
Turn to Stone and Evil Woman are my top two.
Strange Magic. Sweet Talkin Woman and yes they have more!
Love to see young people with good taste in Music. I grew up with that Music.
Jeff Lynne is awesome! He's been involved in so much music it's astounding even member of the Traveling Wilburys!
John Lennon said that ELO was what the Beatles may have been had they stayed together - Jeff Lynne adored the Beatles, and became a member of the Traveling Wilburys (led by George Harrison) and produced the 'treatles' (Free as a Bird, Real Love) as he was the only one with the ability and approval of the three surviving Beatles
"Mr. Blue Sky" should be next! After that "Turn To Stone" or "Evil Woman".
Keith DeWitt YESSSSSSSSSS!!!
What Keith DeWitt said!
Jeff Lynne's voice is so good.
Jeff Lynne's voice is more than good, It's phenomenal!
Finally!
Jeff Lynne said in the documentary about him, “Mr. Blue Sky; The Story of Jeff Lynne and ELO” that he wrote “Living Thing” out of his distress over the damage he was seeing to the environment. He also owns his love for pop music over all other kinds. He is a musical genius. Plays all instruments well. He is a prolific producer including many successful albums for Tom Petty, Brian Wilson, The Beatles final album, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Bryan Adams, Roy Orbison, and The Traveling Wilburys. Fascinating stuff learning about the history of that super group.
He is a very quiet and humble person, so it really took ages for him to finally be recognized as the legend he is.
His perfectionism caused him to quit touring in the 80s because he couldn’t achieve the sound quality he wanted. So he turned to producing. But now the technology has improved and ELO in concert is perfection in concert, even in a crappy acoustic venue like the Tacoma Dome!
If I could only listen to one artist for the rest of my life, it would be ELO, and I’d never get tired of them. So much variety and positive energy.
Yes...so well said.
You nailed it. "Beatlesy". Jeff Lynne is amazing and his vocals and melodies and songwriting have a lot of Beatles influence. Jeff also co-wrote a lot of material with Tom Petty and was a big part of The Traveling Wilburys. You need to try "Turn to Stone", "Telephone Line", "Don't Bring Me Down" and "Do Ya"... plus so many more.
Thank you for listing off the songs and the name Jeff Lynne. I had heard this song (but didn't think I knew more), but I know some of the ones you listed! Plus, I do know Jeff Lynne's work... Amazing artist. Have a great day! :)
ÞÞ.
Oh man, they should totally do Traveling Wilburys. For those who don't know, it's a supergroup made up of Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, and Roy Orbison.
I was thinking at the beginning both Beatles vocally and Pink Floyd in style/effects.
Jeff has worked extensively with most of the Beatles individually, they massively respect his musical genius. Have a read up on his discography and what else he has written and produced. McCartney is a massive ELO/Jeff Lynne fan.
"Telephone Line" might just be their greatest song. Mark my words: when you listen to "Telephone Line" for the first time, the melody and structure of the song will literally make you gasp, perhaps more than almost any other song you've heard. Glad you are enjoying ELO right out of the gate!
Showdown
radar0412 absolutely!
I think the opening of 'Telephone Line' is one of the most creative and entrancing openings of any tune... ever. I love it so much.
100% agree about Telephone Line. Hope the guys include it in their schedule.
Telephone Line always makes me cry :D in a good way though!
Hi guys!! 64 yr old lady and now a big fan. Rediscovering my youth w you two. And ELO rocks. Listen to all they give.❤💋💋💋
ELO - Mr. Blue Sky! Make sure you pay attention to the vocals in the background. Amazing song. The end of the song is so well written. Please react to this song guys. As a 54 year old guy raised on the songs you react to, it's SO refreshing to see the younger generation appreciating them. Truly, you guys are doing a great job. Always look forward to your next video.
You guys HAVE to do way more ELO. They have SO many amazing hits, such as...
Turn To Stone, Sweet Talkin' Woman, Telephone Line, Shine A Little Love, Mr. Blue Sky, Evil Woman, Don't Bring Me Down, Strange Magic, Xanadu...
Lead singer and main songwriter is Jeff Lynne, who is just a freaking genius writer. Hope to see more of this sooner rather than later 😎
They did have a ton of great singles... Interesting trivia: ELO holds the record for most Top 40 hits in America without any of them ever reaching #1.
Good List...good order.
@@Veggamattic That was deliberate 😎
They have SEVEN top TEN singles, you have a lot of good ones coming.
No kidding. Get the playlist logo ready, this is a deep catalog.
Dennis Gannon I also love their cover of Roll Over Beethoven. The combination of strings and guitar are amazing!!
This is one of my favorite pop rocks hits of all time
Livin' Thing is an amazing song! Jeff Lynne: "Livin' Thing is a song About LOVE. The purest thing we Can Experience".
Jeff Lynne is A Genius Songwriter, Composer, musician and Producer.
Mr. Blue Sky. My gf literally cries every time she hears it, it makes her so happy.
A fairly good chance that they know that one, if they've seen Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
Newton Tomlinson it gives me chills every time.
They should check ELO live at 2015 Grammys(Evil Woman and Mr Blue Sky).
It's interesting to see the current stars(and Paul McCartney) in audience totally digging it (and an impeccable performance).
Sooo many memories with this song...love it so much. Wait till you hear Mr. Blue Sky. MR BLUE SKY!!!!!
Jeff Lynne is one of the "Royal" figures in modern music in my opinion. His touch is gold for what you guys were discussing. Layers, intricacies and beauty. Once you have been exposed to a bunch of ELO's stuff, I would suggest watching some of the live show videos of theirs. Good production and wonderful performances.
Excellent analysis from you both. I saw them live in 75. The record can't even come close to capturing the magic they bring on stage.
"I can feel by listening to this song that they got even better songs". Good observation!
I am here because Jamel suggested it! I’ve been binge watching you guys since yesterday!! Started following Jamel about a year ago so I value his opinion ✌️☮️ I have to say I got lost in your Queen reactions last night! I am so enjoying everything I see so far! ELO is a super deep rabbit hole you will truly enjoy 🎸🎤🔥 If you want to continue with their music “Mr. Blue Sky” or “Don’t Bring Me Down” or “Turn to Stone” are just a few of their huge hits 🔥🔥
Hey! Another Jamel fan. Welcome to A&A. These guys are great.
Greg Steele I got so lost in their reactions last night it was 2:00am before I even realized I had been watching them since 7:30pm!!
Love Jamal too. Also check out JustJP.
Bill Shields thanks for the tip!!
@Vickie Ray
Hey Vickie welcome aboard!! Glad to hear we’re binge worthy, haha! Cheers to ya!! 🙌🏻🔥
ELO is huge! How in the hell have y'all not listened to them? Best song is obviously Mr. Blue Sky. Do it!
I think it was Harrison who said that this is what the Beatles would have become. There is a definite connection between the two. Jeff Lynne is a genius and is recognized by his peers as such.
Jeff Lyn, one of the most underrated song writers, performers and producers in the history of music...
Great band to get into! They were one of the heavy hitters of the late 70s and early 80s. One of my favs is " Don't bring me down"
Yeah, Don’t Bring Me Down, Last Train to London and Telephone Line.
Jeff Lynn was a great friend of George Harrison’s This is a great start on your journey with E L O 🛸
Yes, and together in the Traveling Wilburys!
Didn't one of ELO go to Wizzard?
@@leroyrs Yes it was Roy Wood
Yea funny they said he sounded like Beatles. Jeff was a huge Beatles fan and John Lennon even called ELO the “son of the Beatles.”
ELO is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Songwriter award ( ASCAP ) in 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years.

Saw ELO in Hampton, Virginia back in the late 70’s. One of the best concerts I ever saw. Jeff Lynn is a master at his craft.
Welcome to ELO!!! Suggestions: “Don’t Bring Me Down”, “Can’t Get It Out Of My Head”, “Fire On High” (instrumental), Mr. Blue Sky, “Turn To Stone”, “Sweet Talkin’ Woman”, “Evil Woman”, “Strange Magic”... 💯
Showdown
These songs are all A+ and will bring you down into the rabbit hole with us!
Please don't forget "Do Ya"... my favorite ELO song
Wild West Hero and Mr. Blue Sky!!
and Rockaria, just for the use of the opera singing
Jeff Lynne wears his Beatles influence proudly on his sleeves. That being said, he's a genius songwriter in his own right.
Mr. Blue Sky, Don't Bring Me Down, Telephone Line...so many hits dudes.
PS we need more CCR when you circle back to them.
@Tommy Mac I’d love to see them react to CCR’s “Suzie Q!”
Confirmed, Jeff Lynne was a true Beatlemaniac.
I hear George Harrison
He also looked like Bob Ross when he had his sunglasses on
Jeff Lynn has said several times that his concept of ELO was what the Beatles would have been had they not broken up
Jeff Lynne is a genius..... ELO didn't get the attention they deserved years ago, but now many people really see the genius of Jeff Lynne and all the wonderful music he created over the years. I'm glad that he is getting more appreciation now later in his life.
We ELO/Jeff Lynne fans are some of the most loyal in music (and for good reason). 👍😘
Now you know why Jeff Lynne was a part of the Traveling Wilburys along with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Roy Orbison.
More ELO - “Do Ya,” “Mr. Blue Sky,” “Telephone Line,” “Can’t Get It Out of My Head,” “Evil Woman”... there isn’t a bad ELO song, really...
Listen to all these they will blow u away
Turn to Stone to bop to, and Stange Magic for hippy, trippy sauce!
Yes to ALL! ✌️♥️
I love “don’t bring me down” great song!
Honestly that is one of the greatest songs ever written. ELO absolutely rock! One of THE best back catalogues in music history
Welcome to ELO!!! One of the most unique rock bands in history. LOVE the incorporation of the strings!
You're going to want to listen to: "Turn To Stone", "Sweet Talkin' Woman", "Can't Get It Out Of My Head", "Evil Woman", "Strange Magic" and "Across The Border".
Turn To Stone, Mr Blue Sky, Telephone Line, and many more....Jeff Lynn (the singer) is a Beatles fan big time. He even produced some of their stuff.
Damn, Telephone Line chokes me up every time. The live version from Wembley Stadium is epic.
Mr Blue Sky - a mood changer - you CAN'T help but feel happy listening to this - great vocals - great foundational rock - and a whole orchestra for goodness sake - give it a shot
Jeff never produced Beatles, he produced (and cowrote) George Harrison songs. Jeff is the reason there was a Traveling Wilburys and brought George into the project.
Nailed it Billy! Peace brudda.
Michel Lowe Jeff produced both posthumous Beatles songs “Free as a Bird” and “Real Love” for their anthology release in the 90s so, technically, he has produced the Beatles
Brilliant album! Outstanding music and instantly recognisable. Thanks guys, the world needs to hear more ELO. My favourite: Mr Blue Sky.
From 1972 to 1986 (During 14 years), ELO accumulated more combined UK and US Top 40 hits than any other band in the world, and also generated the third most UK and US separate Top 40 hits. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Light_Orchestra_discography
John Lennon called ELO “Son of Beatles” he was a fan, and particularly taken by their song “Showdown”.Jeff Lynne the singer and bandleader actually ended up producing for George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr separately, but also together on “Free As A Bird” by the three remaining Beatles working from John’s demo tape.
Now, those are true facts!!!!!
Percy Thrillington I loved Showdown!
Don't forget Real Love!!
IMO Jeff was the better songwriter, a bit more creative and very clever song structures. His musicianship was more sophisticated. John was the better lyricist, a bit more creative and clever elements that give his words intimacy and feeling, and personal to the listener.
One of my "what if's" was John's lyrics put to Jeff's music. Hmmm....the Super Beatles? Or Laser Light Orchestra?
@@michaelmoore7975 your on drugs
Their double album Out of the Blue is a masterpiece! Not one bad song on the album. Start out with Mr. Blue Sky.
"can't get it out of my head" such a great tune. His Dad got it out of him with some criticism.
ELO just give you so much to listen to in one song. It’s a feast for the ears
Finaly!!! ELO is definitely one of my all-time top bands. Sweet Talking Woman is probably my favorite song if theirs, but honestly there are so many good ones you'll be on this band for a long time. Other ones to hit: Do Ya, Turn to Stone, Evil Woman, Don't Bring Me Down, Telephone Line, the list goes on and on...
the album deepcuts are pretty damn good too.
Jeff Lynne is a bona-fide musical genius.
10538 Overture is an early one and definitely a forgotten classic by ELO
That's my favorite!
I’ve been scrolling through the comments to see if anyone would recommend this gorgeous song! So fabulous. And so many hits and so happy the A’s loved it. You’re going to love exploring their catalog.
Love blasting this in the car
Celebrate Legends while they are still alive. Jeff Lynne’s latest album From Out Of Nowhere was no. 1 on the UK charts in November 2019. Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA will Tour again in 2022! From 1972 to 1986 Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other groups in the world. 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. I saw them again in the Summer of 2019 on the US and Canada Tour...( Best Concert of my life) All the reviews agree they are the best live classic Rock band in the world still touring and Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius. His band ELO is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Song Writer award ( ASCAP ) 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. Jeff Lynne received in 2020 the OBE (officer of the British Empire) for his outstanding contribution in the Music industry. The Legends in the Music Industry like Paul, Ringo, Joe Walsh, Tom Petty and so many others called Lynne the best overall musician and producer ever…Source The Brilliant 2012 documentary by the BBC Mr. Blue Sky: « The Story Of Jeff Lynne ». Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO!
Jeff Lynne is a genius, and I don’t say that lightly. ELO’s vast catalogue is mind blowing! Soooo many greats! Check out their concert, in 2017, at Hyde park, when you get a chance. Jeff Lynne was friends with the Beatles, and produced one of their albums. John Lennon referred to them as the “ The son’s of the Beatles” . You guys have only scratched the surface! ✌🏼
Guys, I'm 56, been a fan of ELO since the mid-70s and I'm STILL discovering new things about them. Rush and ELO are my top 2 bands in any order. PLEASE keep discovering more ELO. DEEP catalog. Time for Mr. Blue Sky.
“Do Ya” is an awesome track. Highly recommended by me! ELO/Jeff Lynn had so many great songs.
This is such a good band. Jeff Lynne is a genius.
ELO was so underrated! Never a bad song!!❤️
I think "Turn To Stone" would be a great ELO song to explore. It is a bit more of a "banger."
I'd like to see that, especially that one particular part... ;-)
the whole bloody album actually,not a weak track anywhere on Out of the Blue,same with Face the Music,same with Eldorado.
Magnificent band and Jeff Lynne is a solid gold genius.
If I remember correctly Jeff Lynne, ELO, was heavily influence by The Beatles esp Revolver, Sgt. Pepper and most definitely Abbey Road. Glad you found them guys.
I've said sometimes, 'the Beatles never broke up, they just changed their name to ELO' haha
John Lennon referred to them as Son of the Beatles.
I look forward to you guys and your post. Makes me feel like a teenager and young man again discovering the music. I know nothing of Patreon but I will soon. Another great duo on CZcams is Lost in Vegas. They are a few years older than y'all but have the same passion to discover music that was not of their time.
The "Time" album is one of the most underrated albums ever.
I'm recently way into Time, Secret Messages, and Balance of Power. They're incredible, and obviously stand apart from the rest of popular music at the time.
Oh there’s that CZcams word underrated. I guess that means it’s good?
@@SR-vl6ql it means it’s good, *and* that it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves for being as good as it is.
@@DKinMN Absolutely...in that order!
Oh, I LOVE the Time album! Perfect from start to finish with standouts like The Way Lifes Meant To Be, 21th Century Man and Twilight.
A New World Record. Such a Great album and at least as good as their follow up masterpiece Out Of The Blue.
The sky is blue, grass is green, water is wet, Alex was going to love ELO.
Jeff Lynne is a Genius. WROTE ALL SONGS, MUSIC, played guitar and is lead singer
My favorite band!
❤️Confusion,
Can’t get you out of my head, Do ‘ya?, Sweet talkin woman, Showdown, Last train to London! So many greats!!!!
From 1972 to 1986, ELO accumulated more combined UK and US Top 40 hits than any other band in the world, and also generated the third most UK and US separate Top 40 hits.
Yay, thanks guys for making quarentine easier. Check out Turn to Stone, Don't Bring Me Down, Telephone Line, Evil Woman, Sweet Talking Woman (probably the same one after some time) Strange Magic, Do Ya!
Yes! Love this song. Other ELO songs to check out;
"Turn to Stone"
"Sweet Talkin' Woman"
"Mr. Blue Sky"
"Strange Magic"
Jeff Lynn not only put classical music in his songs, he had 2 cellos and a violin in his band.
One of my favorite ELO songs. I echo so many comments below. "Evil Woman" is a MUST!. "Sweet Talkin' Woman" also awesome! "Turn To Stone" is amazing and "All Over the World" is such a freaky happy awesome song. I love it!
AWESOME band and Jeff Lynne is a genius.
Monsters of the late 70’s. get ready they have many incredible songs! you nailed the Beatles influences 😎👍🏻🤟🏻 A lot of their music after the 70s get very main stream pop oriented and that’s when they kind a lost me
“Evil Woman” crushes
“Eldorado/Cant get it Out of my Head” basically brought them to everyone’s attention. If you guys cover this make sure you use the version that includes the Eldorado overture, some cuts out there dont include it !
“Telephone Line” is another favorite.
man... they were amazing
Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra from The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame site: "Picking up where the Beatles left off, ELO expanded the concept of great melodies, epic song structures and grand orchestrations. ELO added an exciting mix of elements into rock and roll, including disco rhythms and electronic studio wizardry. Imagine a marriage of tuneful, rocking pop songs with instruments from the symphonic realm, and you’ve got the blueprint for what made ELO one of the most popular groups of the 1970s and beyond.
Jeff Lynne, ELO’s vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, co-founder, and frontman, conceived of a rarefied musical sphere in which cellos coexisted with guitars, and where classically tinged progressive rock intersected with hook-filled, radio-friendly pop.
The result: ELO’s boundary-breaking approach to rock that resonated with a global audience, both as a pop singles act and as album-oriented rockers with deep-track appeal". czcams.com/video/sbg8aUn4YkA/video.html
"Don't bring me down", "Evil Woman", "So Fine" - a whole bunch of hits still waiting ;-)
You guys were hitting on ALL of it!! Well done!! You picked up on so much that IS ELO and Jeff Lynne!
Ok! Now we’re talking, fellas!!! Jeff Lynne is the man! So many potential tunes for a next step! Showdown- pure rock funk,; Telephone Line- their biggest hit and really melancholy,; Sweet Talkin Woman- great, hooked, jam; Do Ya- Rock jam; and so many more!
Jeff Lynne produces for the Beatles, Roy Orbison, George Harrison, Tom Petty- look up what the Beatles and McCartney have to say about Jeff. The word “genius” truly applies.
Also, the documentary “Mr. Blue Sky” about Jeff Lynne is absolutely fantastic!! A must-see!
S-Tier.... "Mr. Blue Sky". This is the one. They have a ton of great songs... but this is the one. Alex, this is the one.
Respectfully disagree. ELO has more than one S Tier song. Of course Mr Blue Sky is in that category.
Very Beatlesque
@@Wtfumean4511I agree. I didn't mean to imply that any of their other songs were inferior, but for what Alex says he likes (Great arrangements with layers and layers to explore all wrapped up in pop melody heaven) "Mr. Blue Sky" is the next obvious choice. It's a mind-blower with one of the greatest outros ever recorded. Of all their S-Tier hits, this one stands out as the most unconventional in terms of songwriting and arrangement. I can imagine a really, really good local bar band could cover "Don't Bring Me Down" or "Turn To Stone" or " Can't Get It Out Of My Head" and do a reasonably good job that you and I would be happy with... but "Mr. Blue Sky"? No way. The song is a monster. Any of their songs will make these kids love ELO. But this song will make them invest in the vinyl.
Give yourself a HUGE treat and watch ELO - Wembley or Bust. It's a completely full house performance by ELO at their best. Their amazing sound and seeing the crowd response will most likely bring you to tears. It's just that good!
It's the closing title track in "Boogie Nights" - and it couldn't feel more perfect. Great work, guys!
So glad you decided to take a chance on ELO! Their production values are through the roof. Soooo many fantastic tunes. Founder and leader Jeff Lynne is a genius. "Do Ya" or "Mr. Blue Sky", or "Evil Woman" would be a great next choice. Hell, who am I kidding? They have at least 15 SOLID hits you could drop the needle on and enjoy to the nines.
Evil Woman. Yes!!
Do Ya is such a killer song. Whenever I'm lucky enough to hear it in the car, I freak out (also, Matthew Sweet does a fantastic cover version).
They acknowledged everyones concerns or interest based on "Orchestra" in their name - check out "Roll Over Beethovin"
Agree. Remember playing that over and over again.
the 10 minute version.....
Yes. If there is a live version. That one. I saw them live in FL in the 70s and the way the orchestra jams to the song is so much fun.
One of the few songs that they did a cover of. As I commented elsewhere on this video, Chuck Berry laid down the skeleton of what the song should be, the Beatles filled it in some, but ELO brings the song to life and makes it DANCE!
ELO and Queen make musical roller coasters. They go up and down and all around. AMAZING ARTISTS!!!
Just wanted to add to the list of great songs, Hold on tight( to your dreams). Love this track.
Yaaaaaay!!
Dudes - my grandma, who died 21 years ago and would have been 100 this year LOVED Electric Light Orchestra. As do I.
Jeff Lynne once said that ELO aimed to pick up where The Beatles left off...
That is a badass cool comment. You grandma was so awesome!
Finally! ELO can be catchy in the best possible way, this is one fine example of that. Plenty of great titles from the classic period (Mr Blue Sky, Telephone Line, Sweet Talkin Woman etc). Glad to see you guys enjoy some ELO, great tunes ahead.
Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, George Harrison, Bryan Adams and so many other great Legends said: ¨Jeff Lynne is the best overall musician and producer we have ever met¨. Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO! Please Tour in 2022!
Not sure if you'll see one from this far a date, but 1st timer and got you on Patreon, ELO is the first band that my dad and I both love at the same time. First when I was pretty young, but then as I've revisited in my later years. So thanks fellers!
Jeff Lynne has produced the Beatles. He’s about as close to them as you get. He was great friends with George Harrison. I hope you take this journey through to The Traveling Wilburys. Next do Telephone Line. Mr. Blue Sky and some others you’ve prob heard in movies.
Didn't he produce George's Cloud Nine album? And I think he was involved with Tom Petty also, and just just as a Traveling Wilbury.
@@richardsteiner8992 yep Full Moon Fever and Into the Great Wide Open! He was also involved with Cloud Nine
I saw him and several other stars on stage playing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" as a tribute to George Harrison. It was a great performance.
Agree with the "A+" rating. Take a listen to Fire On High, an instrumental that ELO rocks!
THIS.
Or "The Whale". :D
Stephen.... absolutely!!! I was going to suggest the same thing. Glad someone already did so.
Do.
Time for more ELO guys! Do ya. Their music is a gift.
