Sometimes I think it's feasible that love ELO more than I do Led Zeppelin

[LynneSin]

Lately I've been listening to Electric Light Orchestra all the time and you know what? ELO is a fucking AWESOME band and Jeff Lynne is a genius!!! I realize anymore what's left of the original ELO is Jeff Lynne but in all reality he's the mastermind such great songs. I wish the guy would tour.

Here's some more great ELO

Here's some really old vintage ELO - before Jeff Lynne opted to wear sunglasses all the time

1. Yes. Loved ELO

12. I'll top you ONJ singing ELO with my Gene Kelly dancing to ELO

11. The Move

Before ELO became ELO, they were The Move:

You can kinda hear it...

[MissMillie]

13. So much raw talent in that band

not to mention creativity.

I would put them in the top 5 of under-appreciated bands.

____________________

Hey boy blue, can't you hear all the noise, it's for you.
All the towns waiting there, let us go.
There's a show like you aint seen before.
Weclome home, where you been all these years, look around.
All the crowd is in tears,
Its so good to see you in the streets of your town

Chorus
Hey boy blue is back.
Hey boy blue is back.
Hey boy blue is back.
Hey boy blue is back.
Hey boy blue is back.
Hey boy blue is back.

Ive seen bold knights, dropping down like flies,
Ive seen kings, rolling in the mire,
Ive seen god, point the finger of doom to our foes.
I have fought in the holiest wars,
I have smashed, some of the holiest jaws.
Ive been jailed, been impaled, and been dragged through the world.
One thing, I have learned through these years,
Is that no man, should be stricken with fear.
It should be that he walks with no care in the world.
So my friends, who are gathered today,
Hear this clear, for I'll not further say.
That no amn, shall cause me to take up arms again.

Hey boy blue is back.
Hey boy blue is back.
Hey boy blue is back.
Hey boy blue is back.
Hey boy blue is back.
Hey boy blue is back.
