At last the voice of reason. I absolutely HATE that song. It makes me want to burn my ears off.

Yup, and that ****ing Baker street song by Gerry Rafferty.

Bit out of the blue this. Don't bring me down!
But seriously ELO a decent band in their day some great songs and no doubting Jeff Lynne's talent but, as with many successful records, they get played to death and they end up grating on people.
Mr Blue Sky is one example of this.
Another generation are waking up to ELO due to the renewed airtime on Radio 2, new single/album and sell out tours with old farts wanting to get to see as many bands as they can before they, or the band, die just so they can say they've seen them.
Not for me I'm afraid.

Even at the height of their pomp n' fame back in the 70s they were nothing more than an easy-listening, Beatles wannabe (that still makes them a zillion times better than Oasis mind, and about a trillion times better than Noel Gallagher's High Flying Turds) pop-rock band.
Re: Jeff Lynne's ELO live on Radio 2 now
Shocked and aghast that anyone would criticise the mighty ELO. I don't recall the last time my hast was so agged.
Wild West Hero, possibly their best recording.

I've seen three orchestras live:
ELO
The Mahavishnu Orchestra (a John McLaughlin combo, obviously jazzy)
and The Fusion Orchestra (whose female singer did incredibly lewd things with the microphone)
There's culture for you....

That's when they started to become shit. Their stuff before that is amazing. I thought about seeing him last year, but I'm not really into arena shows. Kind of regret it now.
