My biggest disappointment with ELO — and unfortunately Time was part of that — was getting rid of the strings. It was ELO’s signature sound, and it was so unique for the genre. Going all electronic ruined them for me. It just wasn’t the same band I loved.
I understand, and then they got rid of Kelly Groucutt. Face the Music is my favorite ELO album, love “Night Rider” and “Poker”, which were two songs Kelly sang on.
