Almost 40 years old (is that possible?) and still the best cover for Roll Over Beethoven!

(Who says the ELO version is the best now?!)

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Don’t forget the Roy Orbison-like “Hold On Tight (To Your Dreams” and “Don’t Bring Me Down”.

ELO was always great and too often underestimated.

[Captain Beyond]

ELO did a good version and I love “Don’t Bring Me Down” but I have always prefered Mountain’s version from their “Flowers Of Evil” ablum. Leslie West just cuts loose and doesn’t let up. This is jsut a great Chuck Berry song that will stand the test of time.

Awesome!

It is hard to believe that they never had a number one song in the US. They had lots on the charts though.

Bumble Boogie...My favorite “classical” tune by B. Bumble and the Stingers.

[catfish1957]

Best cover of the last 10 years?

Summertime Blues..... Rush

Doesn't hurt that it includes some nice improv work by the greatest rock drummer ever.

[P.O.E.]

I remember listening to the classical station when it converted to a rock station (it was sometime in the mid-70’s), and the first song they played was ELO’s “Roll Over Beethoven:

Kind of like when MTV started on the airwaves with “Video Killed the Radio Star”

Every time I see the ELO logo, I think OLEO.
