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.
Can't stand them 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.Quote:

Wild West Hero, possibly their best recording.

The Mahavishnu Orchestra (a John McLaughlin combo, obviously jazzy)

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.Quote:
