Good excuse given the cover of Livin Thing doing the rounds.
I'd rate them as one of the best UK bands since The Beatles and Stones were in their heyday. Favourite singles:
Xanadu
Rock n roll is king
Sweet talkin woman
Confusion
Calling America
Any other fans want to confess?

I did hear a bit of their stuff growing up in the 70's tunes I liked later...

I think John Lennon once said, when asked what the Beatles would sound like today (late 70s), "just buy the latest ELO record."

And Jeff Lynne produced the "comeback" Beatles singles Real love and Free as a bird I think.

The entire "Time" album is brilliant as is "Out of the Blue." Also Mr. Blue Sky is "bloody cracking." That's andy Britspeak for superb.
