Saw ELO in the 70s. Loved that group. They said they were going to pick up where the Beatles left off. That was their aim.
One of my favorites, Mr. Blue Sky

Always liked ELO.
Ahhh. That makes sense!
Problem is, I think the Beatles took "The Beatles" about as far as that concept could go. I think they mined the entire vein, and then some.
Still, I can't blame anyone for thinking they could take it farther.
