This thread needs more Jeff Lynne.

I had occasion... I guess about 3 months ago.. to load up an ELO play list on YouTube... these guys were like..a 1970s Beatles lite or something. As a person born in 1970, the sheer amount of tunes that hit me as "Holy shit, I remember that one" was off the charts. And they're good tunes too.

Fleetwood Mac Bare Trees has the same effect on me. I listen to that and remember being a very young kid sitting in the back seat of a shitty car driving to my grandparents place in Anoka County Minnesota. It's visceral.

I suppose some of it has to do with the fact that my dad and his brother looked like Jeff Lynne in those days... or was it Lindsey Buckingham... Maybe it was Peter Green... wait... are we sure all men didn't look the same then? :wink:

In 2000 I bought the ELO double CD greatest hits album and while I’d recognized about 8 or 9 song titles, quickly realized I knew about 20 of the 28 songs on the set.

The one thing I’ve always loved about ELO is they’re a great cure for depression. Impossible to be upset about anything when listening to 10538 Overture.

Only serious car wreck I’ve ever been in, a childhood buddy was driving his parents Malibu when he’d picked me up, later ran a red light and t-boned a car at an intersection beside a Shoneys diner. His family had named the Malibu ‘Bruce’, and when he totaled the car, “Don’t Bring Me Down” was playing on the radio.

If you missed the ELO show at Nationwide back in July, you should be ashamed of yourselves. It was excellent!
