I think it's literally impossible for me to listen to "Walking On Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves, or "Mr. Blue Sky"by Electric Light Orchestra, and not smile. Music can bypass our swirling thoughts and hit us right in the feels.

I heard that at one point John had said if the Beatles had continued into the 70’s the would have sounded like ELO. I’m inclined to agree! Do you guys like them? submitted by /u/DependentSpirited649 to r/beatles [link] [comments]

So recently I listened to "Mr. Blue Sky" with my friend around. My friend played "Don't Bring Me Down" after and I had the most stunning revelation - that Electric Light Orchestra also played it. I never knew before, so later I listened to more songs. I guess I'm just kind of dumb, but listening to "Livin' Thing," "Evil Woman," and others gave me such a sense of nostalgia, as my dad would always play their songs in the car when I was younger. I never realized that they were by the same band until recently, I know, I'm stupid. They made so many great songs, and I can't stop listening. Electric Light Orchestra is amazing and so much fun to listen to! Edit: Thanks a lot for the recommendations! I have a lot of listening homework now. Also obligatory RIP inbox. Edit 2: My first gold! Thank you so much kind stranger! Have a great day and life! submitted by /u/QuantumVagabond to r/Music [link] [comments]

Hey everyone! Today I felt like doing a guide to a band. Since someone's already done a guide for my favorite band, Arctic Monkeys, I figured I'd do one for another band that's close to my heart: Electric Light Orchestra. Even though there didn't seem to be too much interest, I still feel like doing one. I'll be going through each one of their numerous albums, listing off a few of their more notable songs, and talking about why they are easily the most underrated band of the 70s. If you don't have time to listen to the full albums, I'd highly recommend you to listen to all the specific songs that I link. You won't regret it. Intro: Electric Light Orchestra, or ELO as I'll be referring to them from now on, was formed in 1970 by Jeff Lynne and Roy Wood. Their music falls somewhere in between classic rock and pop with a lot of electronic and orchestral parts (hence the name electric Light Orchestra). They had plenty of hits throughout the 70s, some of which you may not even know are ELO songs, but they are still forgotten by many. The band would go through a metric shitton of lineup changes by the end (in fact, Roy Wood left after the first album) but throughout the band's lifetime the real genius behind everything was Jeff Lynne. Jeff Lynne is ELO, and ELO is Jeff Lynne.Jeff Lynne is love, Jeff Lynne is life. Seriously though, this man is a genius. He's worked with tons of other great musicians that many don't even realize. For example, Jeff was what I would like to call the "forgotten member" of The Travelling Willburys: A band that also consisted of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty. Those are some real big names, which may leave one wondering why ELO wasn't as big as, say, The Beatles. Speaking of, ELO was originally created to "pick up where the Beatles left off." Hell, John Lennon had said that ELO were the "sons of the Beatles." And with all that out of the way, now I'll go through their albums. No Answer (1971): Fun fact, in the UK the album is called "The Electric Light Orchestra," but it was called "No Answer" in the USA due to a communications error. This album sounds super dark and gritty, with a ton of Cello-heavy rock. If you're into that kind of thing you might really enjoy some songs on it, but I don't think it will get anyone hooked. The band started to shift to a new sound after Roy Wood left (although the following couple albums do sound somewhat reminiscent of this one) and Roy Wood is heard here as the lead singer of some of the songs instead of Jeff Lynne. 10538 Overture: This is a quite clever and well written song about an escaped prisoner, and is actually one of my very favorites. I love the cello part. Mr. Radio: Extremely creepy song about a man who is left by his wife and only has his radio to comfort him. ELO II (1973): There isn't too much to say about this one, it doesn't have too many songs and most of them aren't particularly interesting. It does have the extended version of one of their bigger hits, although I still don't think much on this album is really that notable. In Old England Town (Boogie #2) Roll Over Beethoven: Their take on the Chuck Berry Classic. It's interesting but I don't love it. On The Third Day (1973): I think it starts to pick up here. This album is a good representation of the band as a whole, with some dark songs representing their very early sound, some softer stuff representing the sound found in their next album, and some of the classic rock goodness that I love from ELO. It's got a few songs which I really recommend checking out. Or just listen to the full album, that's good too. Showdown Daybreaker: This is just an instrumental song, but it's very evergy-filled and I love it. Ma-Ma-Ma Belle Eldorato (1974): This is a loose concept album about a guy who escapes his mundane reality into a strange world of dreams and fantasies. Musically, it's a response to Jeff Lynne's dad, who, as a classical music lover, said that ELO's previous albums "had no tune." This one is harder to just listen to a few songs from, as it sounds better and more connected if you listen all the way through the album. Can't Get it Out of My Head: This song is really sad. Not for any particular reason besides the narrator having a shitty life, but it just sounds super sad. And I love it. Laredo Tornado Face The Music (1975): I don't have too much experience with this album, but I like some songs from it. I'm not really sure what to make of the overall sound, honestly. It's more or less the transitional album between ELO's early sound and the sound of the next album, which is one of the big ones. Evil Woman: I originally forgot about this one, because it sounds like it should be on one of their next two albums. It's one of their best songs, as well as one of their most popular. Poker A New World Record (1976): This album and the next one are the epitome of ELO as a band. They're easily their best 2 albums. It's jam packed with great pop/classic rock. There is so much more than the songs I'm putting below, so go listen to the whole thing. You won't regret it. Tightrope Do Ya: Another one of ELO's big hits, Do Ya is a great song with fun lyrics and catchy instrumentals. Rockaria! Out of the Blue (1977): Everything I said about A New World Record applies to Out of the Blue. Listen to it. Turn to Stone: The song is pretty good, but holy shit that part after the second chorus makes me smile every time. Mr. Blue Sky: This is one of their biggest songs, and for good reason. It's possibly the happiest song of all time. Listening to it will make you feel great about being alive. I love it. Discovery (1979): Sigh, it's mostly downhill from here. Not that they started making bad music, in fact they still have plenty of great songs after this. It's just that after the amazingness of A New World Record and Out of the Blue, you can't help but feel a bit sad. ELO made a mistake releasing this album when they did. It's very disco-y and a lot of people feel like it was a huge step down. I quite enjoy a lot of the songs on this album, but it's definitely not for everyone. Shine a Little Love Don't Bring Me Down: This is the only ELO song that's popularity rivals Mr. Blue Sky, and probably the only song from Discovery that's loved by most. It's super energy-filled and fun. Also that little "Grroosss" in the chorus always gets you. Xanadu (1980): NOPE, I'M NOT DOING IT. NO. SOMEBODY ELSE CAN EXPLAIN IT. Time (1981): I love this one. It's another concept album about a guy from 1980 who somehow finds himself in 2095 and gets super sad. There's a bunch of synth-y goodness throughout the album which I love. It's another one which I think begs to be listened to the whole way through. Twilight The Way Life's Meant to Be Secret Messages (1983): This album is a response to critics who said earlier ELO songs had hidden, satanic messages if you played them backwards. It's has songs with weird subject matter like how you're always being watched, and, you guessed it, is littered with secret messages. The album has a subtle creepiness to it, which I like. Secret Messages Rock and Roll is King: Another one of ELO's bigger songs, it really doesn't feel like it belongs in this album. It's loud and fun, though. Balance of Power (1986): I'd say this is ELO's last real album. A lot of people didn't like how poppy and edgeless the songs felt, but I do somewhat like some of them. It's definitely skippable, though, save for one song: Calling America: I have no idea why I love this song, but it's such a joy to listen to. At first glance it doesn't seem unlike any of the other songs on the album, but something about this song makes me unconditionally love it. I never get tired of it, and I'd definitely recommend a listen. Zoom (2001): Many years after he left it, Jeff Lynne acquired ELO's name in a lawsuit. For all intents and purposes, this is a Jeff Lynne solo album (he has released some other solo albums, which are pretty good). It's very guitar-heavy and doesn't really sound like ELO but I quite like it. It's also worth mentioning that some other members of ELO formed a band called ELO Part II and released a couple albums. I won't be going over them, though. Alright Easy Money submitted by /u/Shizzable to r/Music [link] [comments]
