Dear radio playlist selectors,

Mr. Blue Sky is not, in fact, the only ELO song the band made. Furthermore, not only did they record more music, some was actually better.

Yes but they all sound like Mr Blue Sky, or the Travelling Wilburys or The Beatles 1995 version etc..

ELO is one of my guilty pleasures. Lots of really great songs - and Jeff Lynne seems like a pretty decent guy. I do agree that there is a very distinct sound to his productions - very compressed - but he achieves some great sounds.

Hmm. The ones I’ve always heard the most are Evil Woman and Don’t Bring Me Down.

Agreed. Go listen to Changing Man by Paul Weller.

Same here and they don't sound like Mr. Blue Sky.

Yep.

The combination of gkbill mentioning James Chance in that saxamaphone discussion the other day and me currently writing a lecture on No Wave got me to load this up again. Half joke (often offensively so) and half seriously groovy mutant disco. Great stuff.

[Heston]

I love ELO, great pop music.

That brings back memories. I used to work with Pat Place, back around 1989 or so. My old boss was Don Christensen's ex-wife.

Just as, push comes to shove, I'll take UK post-punk over punk, I'll take No Wave over American punk, intellectually and aesthetically.
