'Time'

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I thought you meant Elmo. My bad.

 

[MrPryck2U]

"All of you ELO fans." Ok, will the five of them please stand up? lol!

 

[Got Philk?]

yup, hence the beginning of the post. This thread won't last long.

Elmo April? Come on...

 

[love_u2_adam]

ELO!!

my dad has some of there records...they're sweet

 

[MrPryck2U]

ELO weren't that bad. I would label them a "guilty pleasure". Don't Bring Me Down was used well in Donnie Brasco.

 

[cdisantis83]

My sister likes ELO, but I don't know anyone else who really feels strongly about them.

What??? Are you kidding? Have no GUILT!
Ok, I'm not serious. Well, half of me is serious on this and half of me feels quite sarcastic. Yes, I do like their songs. But I will not sit here and say they're unbelievable or anything. Just good fun.

And I really just wondered if there were any fans out there. So far there are some here on the interland, and then Kayla's dad.

I like ELO.



In all seriousness, they made some excellent albums during their peak, and had a string of hits that lasted over a decade. Jeff Lynne is a fantastic songwriter.

Those dudes could rock the 'fro, but I can't listen to their music.

I completely agree with you. They had some great songs. And I honestly do Love ELO! no need to

Pretty much.

I think I know two of their songs.

Elmo can rock out with the best of them, Phil, and you know it!

 

[LMP]

Have you guys listened to the opening for Fire on High in reverse?

It has a crazy "hidden" message.

 

[Got Philk?]

pff, yeah. If you tickle him...disgusting.

Don't Bring Me Down is probably the greatest musical thing ever.

 

[Regina Filangie]

My parents had a record store in the 1970's. I was just a little kid at the time but I can remember playing their albums in the shop. So for nostalgic reasons, I like them. However, I can't blame my parents for my love of their work on the Xanadu soundtrack.

 

[beegee]

lol, that is quite possibly the best username ever.

[MsMofoGone]

Some of their GREATEST songs from... Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)


Turn To Stone
Don't Bring Me Down
Telephone Line
Can't Get It Out Of My Head
Evil Woman

 

[Canadiens1131]

It's too bad that song isn't more representative of their catalogue as a whole.

Eh, what can you do?

I love Telephone Line and Fire on High.

Especially Telephone Line.

Srsly.

 

[dazzlingamy]

I like a 5th of beethoven. Its the only ELO song i have hehehe

 

[phanan]

You're getting them confused with some 70's disco band.

ELO did a cover of Roll Over Beethoven...

Walter Murphy did Fifth of Beethoven I believe.

 

[phanan]

I don't know whether to be amazed or scared that you knew that.

 

[Lila64]

I remember back in 6th grade we were having the big '6th grade dance'. The one where no one dances at all. The "emcee" or whatever you want to call him was trying to get people to dance, so you took a step to the right and clapped, a step to the left and clapped - back & forth. Anyways... the next song was going to come on, and this guy thought he was so cool. The band was ELO, but he pronounced it as "E-lo"

 

[shart1780]

ELO is such an awesome band. They're the type of band that had a million hits that everyone has heard yet no one knows who ELO actually is anymore.

Rain is Falling is my favorite song of theirs. It really is beautiful. The whole Time album is very emotional and tragic when you realize what it's about.

I love most of their albums though. They were awesome throughout the 70s.
