Elo?

has anyone ever heard of ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) becuase i listen to it all the time , and i was just wondering if anyone else does.......

yeah! i used to love their songs when i heard them on the radio, but i never bought any albums - came very close tho...

i like rock with violins cellos, etc (Paul McCartneys stuff NOT included... oh apart from Elenor Rigby...)

who was in ELO, btw?

Well, the Captain was always Jeff Lynne, lately of The Travelling Willburys.

ELO Music <link>

, they had 2 very good albums ( out of the blue and a whole new world record, and i really like the song Boy blue , but that isn't on those albums......)Jeff Lynne was the main guy , he wrote all the songs , and is lead guitar , i'm not sure who else is in it , i think he just has a band with him , like elton John...... do u like elton john , cause i do ,

ta

what does that mean?

"ta" means "thank you" to British and Commonwealth folk.

oh well then Ta to u to

I put ELO in my guilty pleasures file. I do like them quite a bit, probably more for sentimental reasons than overall musicality.

Jeff Lynn is the founder and driving force behind ELO. Richard Tandy and Bev Bevan have been with him from the start. A few other personel changes along the way but they definately were a "band" not at all like Elton (although I must admit Davey Johnstone was a big influence in my early days)

ELO released a 3 CD retrospective set not too long ago spanning their whole career. If your into ELO and want to get a listen from the late 60's through 2000 pick it up, it's very good. (Yes they are still active).

They are really known for their pop stuff (Evil Woman, Boy Blue, Ma Ma Ma Belle) but I think some of their more "obscure cuts" are a lot better. Try to find Calling America, Four Little Diamomds, So Serious, and Getting to the Point.

They are certainly not in the same league as PF (IMO) but they are quite enjoyable.

yes i agree , but i havn't really listened to the other stuff just to those 2 albums........ and boy blue

Looks around to make sure no one is watching, okay don't tell anyone .... but yeap their there in the record rack....

Elo...elo... it's good to be back. Good to be back

Pisstakingly obvious,

Even though this thread may have had a rather naturally short shelf life, I honestly didn't mean to kill it so completely.

Who here thinks that Jeff Lynne looks like a beardy muppet?

Now that's not a nice thing to say.........about Muppets..
