-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.c...
Jeff Lynn can't possibly be recognized enough for his contribution to Rock n Roll. He won't be appreciated until he passes, and he'll be more recognized when the artists he's worked with pass as well. He's a legend that most people won't recognize until after he's gone. He's amazing.
Jeff Lynn's producing ability is equal to his music and writing artistry. He's master in the booth...
That's what she said
Well said.
The man is a genius 💜
He is a genius!
@@TexasFury Jeff Lynne is ELO period. As much as we have loved the session musicians over the years (Most of them are in heaven) Jeff Lynne did everything. Sole composer, Producer of the band. Most of us have liked Bev, Mik, Kelly, Hugh, Melvin and Richard because they were great musicians and very cool to see in concert. Excellent Lineup.
There is no one that doesn't love Jeff Lynn and ELO. There were so many hits these guys did for years on end. Very prolific and most enjoyable.
Jeff is never disappointing. He is a production master and is sought after by artists worldwide.
Traveling Wilburys, super group: "End of the Line" Everybody sings and the rocking chair tribute to Roy Orbison will get to you. 🧡
My dad loved the Wilburys. We played that song at his memorial.
Also " Handle with Care" Beautiful with all of them!
I don't think they're familiar with Roy Orbison.
@@David-iv6je Sorry for your loss, Dave. I played that video for my Dad (1931-2020) in his last year with us, and his eyes lit up, sat forward, started tapping his leg and asking questions about who was who, etc. He loved it. "How come I never heard this before?" I'll never forget that.
They left that line/chorus blank in the song for that shot of the chair...Roy would have sung at that point....
The song "Tightrope" has an epic symphonic opening and well worth it.
Yes, Jeff Lynn does have some solo stuff but as ELO went on and members left, he was basically ELO himself during the later albums.
Reading down through the comments, I think 'The Traveling Wilburys' (George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison Jeff Lynn and Bob Dylan) are getting enough mention to warrant a reaction or at least a spot on the next poll. "Handle With Care" or "End of The Line", the latter which was a tribute to Roy Orbison after he passed away before the second album could be finished.
I watched some young kid do a reaction a while back, who had no idea who they were. At the end he said, "For a bunch of old guys they were pretty good." LMAO
Yeah, over the years, they were all 'pretty good'. 😋
Roy Orbison did sing on End of the Line, it's on the 1st album. But he was not there anymore for the video.
I’d go to the Traveling Wilburys’ “End of the Line.” A great song made more emotional by the fact that Roy Orbison passed away soon after
And in the video they have the empty rocking chair for him. Man!
@@johnrubio one of those instances where they should probably react to the video rather than just the song
"Fire on High" is an instrumental rocker that was one of their earliest successes. Back in the day you would hear it everywhere as bump music on radio and TV shows. Especially sports programming.
Travelling Wilburys ARE A MUST!!!!!!! Roy Orbison, Harrison, Dylan, Petty and Jeff Lynn....Make it so my Captains! (Tweeter and the Monkey Man is MY FAVORITE Dylan/Wilbury tune)
Petty did a live Tweeter and the Monkey man...LOVE that song. Its the best Springsteen song Springsteen didnt write
It sounds like you guys are ready for some Traveling Wilburys. Handle with Care would be a great starting point. Roy Orbison (Lefty Wilbury) will melt you.
It took 4 Beatles and George Martin to accomplish what Jeff Lynne has done musically all by himself. Of course, by popularity and commercially, The Beatles are no 1 but musically Jeff Lynne rules. I am a huge Beatles fan but Jeff Lynne is much better with Harmonies, Orchestration, as an incredible Producer, singer and songwriter. Long live Jeff Lynne's ELO will be on Tour this Summer and Fall of 2024.
But we see exactly who his influences were. So you still have them to thank.
@@personalcheeses8073 Who do you think the Beatles have to thank for their inspiration???
@@fabfour7397 Their inspirations are who the Beatles say they were. Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Ravi Shankar, The Beachboys, The Byrds.
The list is endless as all musicians influence each other
@@personalcheeses8073 True.
You’re always in danger of making such comparisons with The Beatles. It’s silly. Without The Beatles, the musical landscape would be a big unknown today. That said , I’m a huge Jeff fan; he’s a genius who’s deserving of being on the list of 20th century’s best composers.
Turn to Stone is my favorite ELO tune...
ELO and Steely Dan are THE 70's artists for me production-wise. Everything is always perfect. Flawless production.
One of my favorite ELO tunes and a big hit,regularly played on radio for years!
Suggestion of an "EL's" Instrumental double-shot - ELO's "Fire on High" and ELP's "Fanfare for the Common Man."
Tom Petty, The Beatles, Joe Walsh: « Jeff Lynne is the best overall musician we have ever met»From the brilliant 2012 BBC Documentary Mr. Blue Sky: The story of Jeff Lynne.
Another ELO song to check out? They're cover of Chuck Berry's, 'Roll Over Beethoven', which completely changed my life & appreciation of music when I was a kid. Jeff Lynne only has a couple of solo albums, but they're both fun, & he's produced music for a lot of artists over the decades, including Paul McCartney, Brian Wilson (Beach Boys), Dave Edmunds (Rockpile), Joe Cocker, & Regina Spektor, to name a few. And, yes - definitely give a listen through to the Travelling Wilburys. Bit of trivia on that, after Roy Orbison's untimely death in 1989, the other Wilburys asked Del Shannon to replace him in the lineup, & Shannon accepted. Unfortunately, though, they only managed to get one song recorded (a cover of Shannon's hit, 'Runaway'), before he too died unexpectedly. So, the band soldiered on as a quartet for their 2nd album.
This song got a lot of flack for being too "disco" but I disagree. Nothing wrong with a catchy song that makes you want to dance. We play this in my cover band and it always packs the dance floor.
Flack from whom?
Such a great song and love the name!
@@Cosmo-Kramerfrom people who hated anything remotely disco. There was a pretty prevalent backlash in the mid-late 70s. Weren't you around back then? Lol
@@bodhisattva3774 I was, but I don't recall the song getting any flack for sounding "disco". It doesn't sound disco to me, at all. And it didn't back then, either. The song was a big hit. I'm sure there were some ELO purists who preferred the band's earlier prog rock sound, but to me this song had a pop/rock sound, not a disco sound. I associate disco songs with songs you can easily dance to, and this is not a song one can easily dance to.
@@Cosmo-Kramer I've literally seen hundreds of dancers disagree.
Bit of trivia: that weird "reversed sound" on the bridge is actually a sample of the strings from "Night Rider", which is also on the same album!
ELO - Last train to London is a jam!
Epic band ❤️ They never made a bad song, still out there performing today ❤️
"Across The Border" is my favorite ELO song. Check it out. Also, check out "Twilight."
ELO IS Jeff Lynne he did all of the writing, and all of the producing. He produced albums for Tom Petty, George Harrison...
This was the song that got me into ELO! I've heard it before but I really got into it when the synth organ riff in the chorus was sampled in the Daft Punk song Face The Music (hands down one of the greatest songs to utilise the art of sampling). Since then, I found out Mr. Blue Sky was ELO and I loved that song and I started listening to more of their hits. I recently got this album Face The Music on Vinyl not too long ago!
Bang in the middle of the seventies sums up the cool side of the decade oh yeah what a cool song
My Son will be 40 on September 18th! He was born 1981 9/18/81. Happy birthday to you two guys. I love ELO. Listened to them all the time on the radio in the good old days
Try the great album opener from Eldorado: "Eldorado Overture/Can't Get It Out of My Head". Used t be played often on radio in my area, despite its combined length.
It gives me thrills that you guys love all the music that I love.
Thanks!
"There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in" is a reference/homage to the Beatles Sgt. Peppers track "Fixing A Hole": I'm fixing a hole where the rain comes in and stops my mind from wandering"
I had the privilege of seeing ELO in a 3000 seat venue the year this was on the charts. They finished the tour doing stadiums. Roxy Music was the opening act and their top ten hit Love is the Drug was on the charts as well. A real slice of British Heaven. Both songs hit the charts in October 1975.
The last song from this album "One Summer Dream" is one of my favorite ELO songs. Has strong emotional connections to my youth.
Fire On High was the song on a scrambler ride in an amusement park where I live in Rochester, NY. It was a typical scrambler/mixer ride but in a round bubble indoor tent and the projected eerie stuff on the walls and played this song. It was a completely psychedelic experience when I was a kid.
For a slight change of pace I might recommend "Telephone Line." The studio version is great but Jeff Lynne also has a solo acoustic version on TH-cam that kills. He hasn't lost his voice after all these years and can still hit those high notes.
ELO songs light up every part of my brain.
Hey,youngsters! That song was so part of my childhood. This one and Strange Magic. Heard so much I feel like I could be right there,back in time when I hear today. If You Leave Me Now and Saturday In The Park by Chicago. Hello,It's Me by Todd Rundgren, Couldn't Get It Right by Clymax Blues Band. Tonight'sThe Night by Rod Stewart. Many others. But soundtrack of my childhood! Cool seeing it through your eyes and appreciating stuff that many your age would dismiss coz it's old.
Jeff Lynne is incredible, how he manages to make ELO's live shows sound so great has always blown me away. It ain't easy but he does it. Big part of my youth is ELO.
One of my childhood misheard lyrics was with this song, “medieval woman…”
🖤🤎🧡🤎🖤
It's absolutely worth listening to their albums because they have so many belters, I couldn't list them all in a recommendation. I'll give a few that I really love though.
Hold on tight, Julie don't live here, Rock n roll is king, Rockarina.
The seventies were LOADED LIKE NO OTHER DECADE!
Jeff Lynne founded this band with drummer Bev Bevan. Lynne had a 1990 solo hit called "Every Little Thing"
"Fire on High" from this album is fun....
I saw ELO in the late 70's, great concert. You gotta check out "Don't Bring Me Down" next.
ELO - "Do Ya", really rocks.
Traveling Wilburys - "End Of The Line", and "Handle With Care", great driving music, from excellent writers, plus you can't go wrong, when Roy Orbison's voice is drowning out your sorrow.
Dudes, you *have* to check out The Traveling Wilburys! Check out "Handle with Care", which was the song that basically caused the creation of the Wilburys. "End of the Line" is also a great one by that incredible supergroup.
one of their best. im a huge ELO fan!!! this came out when i was a teenager, so much jam
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDES!! Hate to miss the party but have a blast. As everyone else says Traveling Wilburys is a must, one of those once in a life time line ups you didn't know you needed so badly till they dropped their first tune. Thanks as always.....PEACE & heavy on the sauce!
Gentlemen, you should definitely listen to “Fire On High”. First song from the same album!! Amazing music! Quick banger!
I agree 1000%!!!!
YES, nice mentioning of the Traveling Wilburrys
I was dating a guy who played Strange Magic for me on our first date. I married him.
"There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in". Hmmm, I wonder if that's referring to the Beatles" "I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in and stops my mind from wondering..." Whenever I heard that ELO line, I thought of the Beatles lyrics to "Fixing A Hole" on Sg Pepper. Maybe because ELO seemed to be a band that came from one Beatles' song - "A Day in the Life".
Wikipedia-Jeff Lynne and the Beatles excerpt: The original aim of Electric Light Orchestra was to take up "where the Beatles had left off, and to present it on stage." Lynne said. John Lennon praised the group, calling them the "sons of the Beatles" on a radio station when discussing the group's 1973 single "Showdown" on the New York radio station WNEW
One great thing to come out of the last 2 years is finding you guys. ELO one of my favourite bands. Don’t bring me down, Rockaria Sweet Talking Woman.. great choices for you. Also another British Band of the same time is Status Quo, you really need to take a look at them start with Down Down.. happy birthdays have a great day 🎂🎂
That “cool line” as you called it: “there’s a hole in my head where the rain comes in” was inspired by the Beatles’ song “Fixing a Hole.”
ELO... Way to go! "Fire On High" is an excellent (mostly) instrumental with some iconic acoustic guitar work. Guitarists, such as yourselves, will appreciate it.
Saw him at the Hollywood Bowl with the HB Orchestra a few years ago. Man, that was a great show.
Travelling Wilburys is awesome. It was Jeff Lynne, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan. You def should check out some of their stuff. Part of which was completed posthumously after Roy Orbison's death.
Three songs with a similar vibe: "Evil Woman", ELO; "Witchy Woman", The Eagles; "Devil Woman", Cliff Richard
How about doing an Instrumental only vote-off. ELO Fire On High will absolutely amaze you!!
Glad they liked "Evil Woman." I don't think it even matters which one they hit next. All of Mr. Lynne's stuff is awesome.
A really fun ELO song is "All Over the World" from the movie Xanadu. Reviled movie, but such a great, feel-good song!
Love this song...one of ELO's best in my opinion. thx for sharing Andy & Alex :)
Fire on High is my favorite track on this record. "The music is reversible, but time is not.. turn back, turn back"
Jeff Lynne wrote and arranged all of the ELO stuff.... You have to do "End of the Line" or even "Handle With Care" by the Travelling Wilburys... Listen to that and you will understand how George Harrison herded Bob, Tom, Roy and Jeff together and made them work and Jeff produced then of course... Treat yourself... SAUCE MATERIAL...
Jeff Lynne actually co-wrote Free Fallin' and wrote the song I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty. iirc he produced that album
ELO is just so good. Jeff Lynne is a legend.
"Wild West Hero" is a great example of Jeff lynne and ELO dabbling in some country (in response to Dylan and petty also Orbison gelling with Lynne ).
Smooth as butter! Definitely more ELO. Many songs you haven't yet heard are essential (Sweet Talkin' Woman, Showdown, Strange Magic, Can't get it out of my head, Ma-ma-ma Belle... I have to stop somewhere.) The Traveling Wilburys put out only two albums and their main hit is Handle With Care. Jeff has two solo albums, there's good stuff in them but IMO the ELO essentials come first.
Please do ELO's version of Roll Over Beethoven. And Traveling Wilburys. Dylan singing Tweeter and the Monkeyman is awesome.
ELO is great. However, I may be the odd man out here, but I prefer Jeff Lynne’s other work. His solo album “Armchair Theatre” is wonderful, especially the songs “Every Little Thing” and “Lift Me Up”.
I am also a big fan of his first band “Idle Race”. I would be shocked if ANYONE else here has heard of the band. Their two albums lacked the slick production of the ELO albums, but his songwriting was never better… I have always been a sucker for a beautiful melody. Two of my favorite Idle Race cuts are “Days of Broken Arrows” and “Come With Me”.
… and we can’t forget the band Lynne was in before ELO, “The Move”. I’m sure there are quite a few here who were fans of The Move because they were very popular in the UK. The Move couldn’t be said to be a Jeff Lynne band because Roy Wood was the dominant creative force in the band. A few of many favorite cuts are “Do Ya” (written by Lynne), “Blackberry Way” (Roy Wood), and “Words of Aaron” (Lynne).
Lift Me Up is such a great song. Love that album.
You boys have to hit the Wilburys. It was really started by George Harrison but all of them knew each other quite well and to say it worked well is a huge understatement. You can start with End of the Line or Handle With Care. Arguably the best R&R super group ever formed. Harrison, Lynne, Petty, Dylan and the great Roy Orbison who unfortunately passed away not long after the release of their debut album. Fantastic stuff. Andy you are right that ELO is/was Jeff Lynne’s solo project. But he surrounded himself with great musicians, much like Steely Dan. There’s not just a few more great ELO songs. You’ve only touched the surface.
Turn to Stone is a great song. Catch them at Wembly.
Traveling Wilburys are awesome!!!!
When I was a boy by Jeff Lyne is awesome!
As a child I thought they were saying "Weeble Woman." As in, "Weeble Woman, don't you come around,, you always wooble but you don't fall down."
Once again the genius of Jeff Lynne
Every home should have a "Best of ELO" album.
Early ELO was more orchestral and experimental. You ought to check out their version of "Roll Over Beethoven" (long). A more pop song would be "Last Train To London".
Rockaria is one of those great ELO songs that seems to get ignored. Great lyrically and bangs like the clappers.
this song is ecstasy to my ears
"Driver's Seat" by Sniff n the Tears.....you'll love it
great song
Lyrically, I can't imagine this chorus being anything else. "Evil Woman" sounds a lot better than something like "I love this sandwich", for instance! Lol!
OMG, I will never be able to unhear that lyric now whenever I hear this song. You totally ruined it forever!! LOL!!
ELO Showdown
and seeing as we landed on George Harrison - When We Were Fab. I guess you can tell what this it is all about by the title.
Y’all need to listen to Do Ya by ELO, another classic.
Excellent choice!!!
Travelling Wilburys.. a must listen to group, for certain! And more E. L. O.!
The Wilburys are great. You guys should check out The Move, Jeff Lynn's 1st band. The song "Do Ya" was recorded by Move and ELO.
My vote for your next ELO reaction is Sweet Talkin Woman followed by Rockaria
The Traveling Willbury’s are absolutely worth looking into!
I highly recommend their song "Do Ya" from their "A New World Record" LP. A true banger, and I predict Andy, especially, is going to love it.
You guys need to do the Traveling Wilburys. Absolutely!
They need to read about the creation of the group before they listen. Then they will be very surprised and delighted at how well everything meshes.
They hate on Tom Petty lol
@@itskyyuuuu I must have missed that. When?
The Wilburys, "End of the Line" video is a remarkable tribute to Roy Orbison. I'll keep pestering you guys. Btw, Happy Birthday ♡
@@recoveringdrunkrp 💯% Absolutely true.
"Sweet Talking Woman" and "Don't Bring me Down" are the first ELO songs that comes to mind whenever ELO are mentioned. Avid fan back in the day and still am.!!! Happy Birthdays Andy and Alex. Rock on!!!!
I agree
I like the earlier stuff. "Showdown" and "Ma Ma Ma Belle."
The one down side of ELO is the drums. Terrible drum tone and not that good a drummer. Good enough, I guess, since they were a great band. But that thud from the drums makes me grit me teeth. I confess to being tone obsessive, also with voices, guitars, bass etc.
@@David-iv6je I love Jeff’s voice the best too, but being one of the giants in the industry, I would guess he could get pretty well anyone he wanted to play drums, and he must have felt he was pretty damm good
@@David-iv6je It all depends, they had three drummers '70-'86. Jeff Lynne, Roy Wood and Bev Bevan. Bev Bevan was my least favorite. Lynne Rocks!!!
More ESSENTIAL ELO - Strange Magic, Showdown, Don't Bring Me Down, Last Train to London, Sweet Talkin Woman 🔥🧡
I love Strange Magic. It totally takes me away lol
Two thumbs up for "Showdown" Love that song, and apparently so did John Lennon. A R&B departure for ELO, just a great tune.
Great choices overall.
And Can’t Get it out of My Head .
Yes. And I would add Mama, and the incredible Laredo Tornado.
"Don't Bring Me Down" should probably be your next ELO song. "Sweet Talkin' Woman" is my personal favorite, but if you did another ELO poll and included "Don't Bring Me Down", I think that it would win. Definitely do both songs eventually. Then there are more fine ELO songs after you hit those two.
Sweet Talkin' Woman is my favourite too
I prefer to listen Sweet Talking Woman way more than Don’t Bring Me Down but that’s me. It’s just fun.
Don’t Bring Me Down, is one of my least favorites [ not that it’s bad - just not one I like].
📻🙂
Agreed and I'd add Rockaria to that list as well.
@@jeffking4176 It sticks in your head for days after you hear it wether you want it to or not. Lol
Gotta do "End of the Line" with the Traveling Wilburys next. It's such a fantastic low-key jam. Also, remember that when you listen to any Wilbury stuff, they only spent maybe a week or two writing and recording each album. They weren't trying to be some super-group. They were just a bunch of guys who liked to do a jam session with each other.
The full story of how they got together for the album is really fantastic, definitely look into it if you get a chance.
I have both their albums, and just wish there could have been more. I watched some young kid do a reaction a while back, who had no idea who they were. At the end he said, "For a bunch of old guys they were pretty good." LMAO
Yeah, over the years, they were all 'pretty good'. 😂
First of all, it is IMPERATIVE that they react to the Official Music Videos for The Travelling Wilburys' two big hits. And in doing so, it is also imperative that they react first to, "Handle With Care". Then, they should react to, "End of The Line". In case A&A are reading this, I don't want to spell out the reasons for all this. But anyone who know anything about the band, and has seen those videos, will understand exactly why I'm saying this.
@@David-iv6je WTF?? A&A read these comments, don't give them that spoiler! Good grief.
I’ve suggested this for them so many times. Glad it finally got brought up
And yes, they should watch the music videos for the songs. They’re great
Jeff Lynne wrote this song in an afternoon. While making the album "Face the Music" they realized that there wasn't a single yet so, Jeff sent the others away to the pub while he sat down and got to work. By the time they came back he had "Evil Woman" basically ready for them to start rehearsing.
Jeff is a bloody genius.
He wrote the song about an "evil woman" he fell in love with who took him for a lot of his money and broke his heart in the end. He sent his bandmates to a football game that night and then sat down at his piano and banged out this masterpiece in thirty minutes. 30 minutes. I can't write my damn grocery list in 30 minutes, and this genius writes a million+ hit song in less time than it used to take Dommino's Pizza to deliver your food to you. You have excellent taste in music, Mr. Shnordy. I salute you...
"Roll Over Beethoven" for the next ELO song. "Handle With Care" for Traveling Wilburys/
ROB is a great choice. Puts the orchestra front and centre.
ROB is one case where I prefer the shorter radio edit.
Agree. The first time I listened to it got me hooked on ELO. For me the best version of ROB.
I would LOVE to hear the boys react to Rollover Beethoven! One of the most rockin' songs that ELO does!
Jeff Lynne is such a bad ass that Paul, George and Ringo chose him to produce the 2 new songs they did for the Anthology.
And he finished some of John Lennon's songs after his death. He's a genius.
George asked him, Paul hated the idea, Ringo didnt care. Paul wanted George Martin to produce Free as a Bird and Real Love, it almost scuttled the whole anthology project. Personally I think Jeff Lynn was ok for the songs, tho I'm suspicious he listened a little to closely to Jellyfish's 'She still loves him' from 1992 to reference what a '90's sounding Beatles group would sound like for Free as a Bird, rather than leaning on the Abbey Rd timeless sound and equipment.
That would suit JL down to the ground, he's always wanted to be the 5th Beatle, bless him.
@@docgonzales
Paul didn’t “hate” the idea, he was initially resistant because Lynne was friends with Harrison. He later loved Lynne’s work and had him partner up for part of Flaming Pie. As for Jellyfish, they’ve publicly sited Jeff Lynne and ELO as an influence.
MORE ELO - Sweet Talkin' Woman, Showdown, Do Ya
The Move's original version of Do Ya is even better than the ELO version. Better drums from Bev on the original!
My kids (they're now your age) used to ask me to play "Medieval Woman" for them in the car from their booster seats. A family favorite!
That's hilarious!
@@lisalisa13 what I thought and was gonna say😁
Lol 😂
Epic!
