Barry Sullins I agree I love elo. my dad introduced me to them and many more bands of the 60s and 70s like Chicago,toto,beegees and a lot more.so much better then new music
One of my Mums favourite records, she use to race up and down Southend prom in her White mini Cooper blasting this in 1977...sadly she passed away on 25th October 2020......
Definitely ahead of their time. Surprisingly i only became aware of them recently. My 70's favorite bands were the Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, and Blue Oyster Cult.
21 years old here, and ELO's music is my favorite thing to listen to. I just hope I can go to a concert with Jeff Lynne one day; that would be the dream.
I am fifty-seven years old now, and the first ELO song I heard as a teenager was Sweet Talkin Woman. For a girl who grew up in the 70"s and 80's ELO will always be timeless.
Same age and love for ELO, however I had no idea they did 'Strange Magic' and 'Fire On High' I was blown away I was like 'THAT'S THE SAME BAND?' Having heard 'Out Of The Blue' and 'A New World Record' I was hooked for life! Jeff Lynne is grossly under rated as an artist and these 2 LP's are their best!

When my best friend and I were about 16, 17 we would drive around listening to the "oldies" station. This song came on and just became ours. We had it full blast! I'm 31 now and still always think of her when I hear it. We're both moms now, life is busy but I wish for another day of strolling around in the car with ELO.
That’s sweet, reminds me when I was 17 we would skip class and ride around and this would come on the radio. I’m 63 😅 and wish I could go back to those days too.
@@mamayoung91 I am so glad to hear young people like our music! My daughter is 25 her playlist is mostly 70’s music, because I play it all the time she loves it too. Rock on.

i cant thank my mum and dad enough for jumping on each other and making me some time in 1957 so i could be born in 1958 and grow thru my infant years and into my teens in the 1970s so i would be around to get a fix from this music.........aint it just great...thanks mum and dad both rip...love ya xxxx
@@RoboticsNShenanigans Hey, don't blame me! It's not my fault the Grammys prefer Dubliners to #Brummies! I used to live in #Brum myself! I have bought far more ELO albums than U2 albums, but I think we have to recognize that tho both Jeff & Bono are great songwriters, Bono is the greater humanitarian. Were ELO even invited to do #LiveAid?
So ABSOLUTELY TRUE 💯. Music is our way of enjoying our past memories and making new ones. I've always said, music is our window to our soul and happiness to our heart ❤️
If you ever get the chance to see Mr and Mrs Blue Sky, an E.L.O. karaoke duo, don't. They completely destroy them. Utter dreadful garnish. I've seen the twice. Second because I couldn't believe how bad they are. I was right the first time. 🤬
Wonderful song! Amazing songwriting, harmony,instrumentation, and production. Jeff Lynne is the best, and can still sing the songs IN THE SAME KEY at 76 YEARS OLD!

ELO really is a good go-to group for exacerbating certain feelings with their music. This is good for feeling hopeful, Blue Sky is good for when you already feel good and Don’t Bring Me Down is excellent for when you’re feeling like you want to get somewhere with a purpose OR when you don’t want to be messed with. I’m 36, born ‘84, not a band from my era at all, but certainly one I found on my musical journey that speaks to me.
I've loved ELO with all my heart since I was like 6-7 (1996). I'm 30 still grooving on them. Dad made me appreciate them, he would always put them on in the car. that's how i got to know the best music ever. ELO, Dire Straits, KISS, The Travelling Wilburys..... I don't think I should mention bands like Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Deep Purple or Led Zeppelin.... Anyway..... All of a sudden, he passed away in March 2019 (stroke) while driving, well basically he was waiting for mum from the shops... at 54! imagine how she felt at the time when she saw him and thought he was kidding.. playing her for a fool.. he would do that sometimes :) ahhh... how much i miss him ... so does my mum... I'm not gonna stop listening to ELO. their music is not bringing me bad thoughts about how my life would've been different with my dad being alive. I usually blast ELO songs in the car. :)))) I AM HERE WITH YOU. LOVE YOU ALL. GREETINGS FROM RUSSIA
I'm only 17 but still have very fond memories of ELO, I would usually listen to them while staring at the night sky with my dad, just the crackling bonfire, twinkling constellations, and some sweet ELO
ELO will never ever get old for me! Grew up listening to them while living in Panama Canal Zone and it always brings back to those fun childhood memories running around at night playing tag and just being a kid. ❤
@@Taz-yr6xd It's facts bro, just facts. Some beatle songs are good but its not like all of their songs are great, some of them are very meh. With ELO all of their songs are good, I've been listening to a lot of their albums recently and I never get tired of them, each song is good. That's why.
This entire album is a masterpiece
yes, this one AND 'A New World Record' was their finest !
Yeah that's a fact they just can't make music like this anymore
DAMN FUCKING STRAIGHT.

It's Really Not that Hard at all to Imagine That! 🦊
A lovely thought...one day perhaps...
I'm 104 and this song just keeps running through my mind. I can't actually hear it anymore but there it is runnin' through my mind.
Wow! God bless you.
You are awesome!!!
I'm 18 years old and I'm listening to this. don't worry, There is still hope for the next generation!
Ah barely
I am also an 18 year old and I like listening to ELO
I’m 15 myself and have been listening since I was 11. There’s hope
:)) And so does my 18 y old son. And we togehter.
😆🎶🎵
I like how all ELO songs sound very different yet very similar at the same time
Yeah! Similar enough so u know it's ELO you're listening but so different they have their own vibe
Most artists are like that honestly

Indeed! If only we could go back in time 😔
OMG!! Yes - roller skating! I thought I was sooo badass back then in my satin pants. You saw me… I was 🔥, right? 😂
They played this at Holiday skating rink in Ft. Worth, Texas. For the girls only skate. Good times.

Pulling out ELO is like seeing an old friend after way too long. Still know every little nuance. And ❤️ so much
The Beatles were amazed with ELO. Explains Travelling Wilburys birth years later. George and Jeff put together a SUPER GROUP
i cant thank my mum and dad enough for jumping on each other and making me some time in 1957 so i could be born in 1958 and grow thru my infant years and into my teens in the 1970s so i would be around to get a fix from this music.........aint it just great...thanks mum and dad both rip...love ya xxxx
vincent hewlett born at the right time.
That was funny you made me giggle this morning
nice one vincento !
I wish I was born in 1959 instead of 1969. It must had been an exciting decade to be a teenager.
I’m born in 1961
Not ashamed that at 40 years old, ELO is the greatest band... ever. ❤️
ELO are undoubtedly great, but #U2 has 22 Grammies...
@@aclark903 Pfft. Bono can't hold a candle to Jeff Lynne.
Amen😊
@@aclark903 How many members of U2 were in a band with Roy Orbison and George Harrison?
@@RoboticsNShenanigans Hey, don't blame me! It's not my fault the Grammys prefer Dubliners to #Brummies! I used to live in #Brum myself! I have bought far more ELO albums than U2 albums, but I think we have to recognize that tho both Jeff & Bono are great songwriters, Bono is the greater humanitarian. Were ELO even invited to do #LiveAid?
The only album I bought that my mother actually liked.
😁👍know it!
"The only album I bought that my mother actually liked."
You had a mother?
thats sad
I would have thrown it out if that had happened to me.
30 years old and I've jamming to elo for years. They dont have a single bad song.
And that's not just the liquor talking.
My God, Jeff Lynne is the king of the hook, matched only by Elton. The back round vocals are amazing on their own.
caspercat kthxbai flealicks the cat and garfeeld
You literally just got me addicted to Elton's music
I don't know how he could go from this to The Travelling Wilburys.
The background vocals are the best part of this song.
I love the layers of this song. So thoughtfully composed and executed. One of my favorites if not my favorite.
Jeff Lynne is a true musical genius.

Yeah there is a lot going on here. A satisfyingly complex pop song. Took it for granted as a kid in the 70s. It's really great.
Honestly ELO has the most diverse age groups all coming together to listen these master peices
Loved ELO back in the 80s as a teen and still listening to them with my grown kids at 58 years old. Love ELO forever!
ELO, I'm still listening. So many memories.
The good old days may be gone but not forgotten ❤
So ABSOLUTELY TRUE 💯. Music is our way of enjoying our past memories and making new ones. I've always said, music is our window to our soul and happiness to our heart ❤️
If you ever get the chance to see Mr and Mrs Blue Sky, an E.L.O. karaoke duo, don't. They completely destroy them. Utter dreadful garnish. I've seen the twice. Second because I couldn't believe how bad they are. I was right the first time. 🤬
Wonderful song!
Amazing songwriting,
harmony,instrumentation,
and production.
Jeff Lynne is the best,
and can still sing the songs
IN THE SAME KEY at 76 YEARS OLD!
I’ll be 62 years young July 26th 2022…and this is still a jam! Let’s 🤘 rock on folks😘🌹
Happy Birthday, Laura!
Happy birthday!! Loving ELO on a sunday morning here in dublin!!
I'm 34 and this song is amazing. Wish my generation made songs like this.
This month October 28,I will be 64 and I agree...yours very truly Alfonso Cantu USMC
I am 55 and I loved the late 1960's and the 1970's! I miss those days gone by.💛💚💜💟
yes, those were the days
Another great song! “Days Gone By” by the superlatively talented Gerry Rafferty...

ELO really is a good go-to group for exacerbating certain feelings with their music. This is good for feeling hopeful, Blue Sky is good for when you already feel good and Don’t Bring Me Down is excellent for when you’re feeling like you want to get somewhere with a purpose OR when you don’t want to be messed with.
I’m 36, born ‘84, not a band from my era at all, but certainly one I found on my musical journey that speaks to me.
My parents listened to this I was born 1971. I love Elo is all awesome music.
Lots of people here who were alive when this song dropped. As a zoomer, born in '07, I'd like to say this is one of my favorite songs of all time.
I'm 40 and late to the party. I listen to all genres but just heard this song a year ago and it's definitely made me a fan of ELO!
67 and Im still rocking Love Elo and my man Jeff Lynne !! xoxo
This is music.🎸🎹🎺🎷🕺💃👍
SHEZ BOAGEY: Okay, but the "orchestra" is essentially used only briefly in the latter half of the songs....
When I was growing up..they were considered light rock 🪨 🎸
I've loved ELO with all my heart since I was like 6-7 (1996). I'm 30 still grooving on them. Dad made me appreciate them, he would always put them on in the car. that's how i got to know the best music ever. ELO, Dire Straits, KISS, The Travelling Wilburys..... I don't think I should mention bands like Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Deep Purple or Led Zeppelin.... Anyway..... All of a sudden, he passed away in March 2019 (stroke) while driving, well basically he was waiting for mum from the shops... at 54! imagine how she felt at the time when she saw him and thought he was kidding.. playing her for a fool.. he would do that sometimes :) ahhh... how much i miss him ... so does my mum... I'm not gonna stop listening to ELO. their music is not bringing me bad thoughts about how my life would've been different with my dad being alive. I usually blast ELO songs in the car. :)))) I AM HERE WITH YOU. LOVE YOU ALL. GREETINGS FROM RUSSIA
Bless you Stan. Your dad had excellent taste in music as do you 😊
I just discovered ELO! I’m normally into this type of music but I’ve never heard of this group before. I am IN LOVE with their sound and vibe! 😍
Where ya been?
ELO is amazing
Rest easy, Richard Tandy.
I am 76,never get tired of this music
Jeff Lynn is a genius.
Yes, that's been my long held opinion ever since I heard ElO...
ELO one of the best bands ever! So glad I was a teen in the 80s best music and best times of my life. People in general were good back then and happy!
I'm only 17 but still have very fond memories of ELO, I would usually listen to them while staring at the night sky with my dad, just the crackling bonfire, twinkling constellations, and some sweet ELO
Me and my brother were driving around in a golf cart at 4am very drunk, blasting this out loud on a bluetooth speaker.
Sounds great
Good lad :)
I wanna join you guys
My kind of party family 🤣☺️☺️
I won't condone that behaviour, but it sounds fun af!
16 and fuckin love this song, wish I could've been around before they quit making music to watch one of their concerts
They quit in 1986, was their last album......
Favorite song from them can’t get tired of it
ELO will never ever get old for me! Grew up listening to them while living in Panama Canal Zone and it always brings back to those fun childhood memories running around at night playing tag and just being a kid. ❤
É isso aí...bela história
This song reminds me of my childhood. My dad would put turn the car radio to classic rock stations. 🥰❤
Muito bom...
John Lennon called ELO "sons of the Beatles".
Considering people consider the Beatles the best band to ever exist, the apple must not fall far from the tree.
belle mcellis lmao, wrong
Beatles are overrated, ELO is best band, fight me.
Brent Please explain how
@@Taz-yr6xd It's facts bro, just facts. Some beatle songs are good but its not like all of their songs are great, some of them are very meh. With ELO all of their songs are good, I've been listening to a lot of their albums recently and I never get tired of them, each song is good. That's why.
The most underrated band in the history of Rock and Roll!!!
Alan Parsons Project is the most underrated band actually
Wish we still had music like this today never mind maybe in the next life
Agreed. The next life can't come soon enough for me.
We still do have music like this, you are listening to it it’s not like it disappeared
Jeff Lynne is a huge Beatles Fan. You can hear it in every Note!
