ELO -Mr. Blue Sky (1977)
YouTube ^

Posted on 05/03/2020 6:39:36 PM PDT by Old Yeller

I went to an ELO concert in the 70's and their opening act was Journey.

They had a lot of good songs. Here's another good from the early 80's.

I’ve heard of Bioluminescent Organisms. I am not familiar with Electroluminescent Organisms.

My favorite of ELO. Wish I could listen to it every morning.

I love almost everything ELO, but I think those are two of my favorites.

One of my favorites from ELO.

Some ELO songs, especially Mr. Blue Sky, have a Beatlesque sound.

It sucks that ELO never had a number one hit in the USA. From what I understand they only hit number one a single time anywhere and that had something to do with a movie in later years. ELO had some great tunes. I always liked this period video of Showdown which did hit #2 on the charts.

You have to play the entire “Concerto for a Rainy Day” together.

Eldorado is probably my favorite ELO album.

Time is a great album, as well, much better than “Discovery”.

Perhaps a moderator can correct your title.

Always thought that Jeff’s fellow Wilbury, the late Roy Orbison would have done a great job with this one.

A wonderful song for this point in the epidemic. The skies are going to be so blue soon enough,

Here is a very early ELO song which sounds a lot like Eleanor Rigby.

ELO-“Look At Me Now”

“Mr. Blue Sky” is probably my favorite ELO song.

Saw Jeff Lynn’s ELO at The Rock in Newark NJ last year and it was awesome. What a show!

ELO - they had some wild vids. One Night Down Under - one of the best rips of all time.
