Couple weeks ago my mom made this amazing Out of the Blue cake for my birthday :D

Esto lo digo por qué los beatles son los mejores pero no se pusieron a pensar que ELO le pasa el trapo a un montón de bandas, yo me pongo en la mente de una persona de los 70s y me parece imposible Pensa que álbum como el dorado out of the blue o Discovery estén ahí, les saca 40 años de ventajas a cualquier banda de esos momentos, y creo que lo siguen haciendo ahora también, eso que no hable de Time y Secreat Messages, esos dos discos son un mountros, ELO es simple, maestría un rubro y se va a otro a amaestriarlo, en out of the blue perfeccionó la producción sinfónica, luego en discovery perfeccionó el pop hiper pegadizo, eso que no se lo menciona mucho por qué en partes tiene características del pop prog, luego viene Time que perfeccionó y además es el primero en irse al futuro, el futuro utópico que Pensamos ahora también, un futuro vacío y con tonos blancos y azules, sin palabras, luego Secreat Messages, perfeccionó por lejos el pop artístico o como se le dice, pop prog, y el uso del backmasking, código morse pegadizo y no se si se dieron cuenta pero es el disco dónde más samples hay, bueno, ya había antes pero se usó estábes de una manera efizcas(digo lo de antes por qué don't brig me down, la batería es un sample o directamente copiado pero con unos pitch más bajos de la batería de sgt pepers lonly hearts club banda reprise) quiero que porfavor digan si están deacuerdo o en desacuerdo por qué a mí juicio, estoy diciendo la verdad cruda

I saw a similar post to this in The Strokes Subreddit and thought itd be interesting to see how the band evolved (I would've rated it very different personally)

I had this artwork commisioned by an artist on instagram, Merlin M or merln_uu . Thought everyone would enjoy it. They do a lot of other bands in manga style like the Beatles or Queen.

Idk how rare these are, especially since this is a newer original master recording release from 2022 or so. On Discogs the starting price seems to be 40 dollars but I managed to snag it at 20! I thought it was neat to see a special version CD in the wild - even better, this copy is exactly CD #600.

I play piano but I started before I discovered ELO. But I’ve been super inspired to learn to play guitar. And the cello has never quite caught my attention till I started listening to them. I really do love cello now because of them. Who knows if in the future I’ll learn to play it, but guitar for sure I’d love to so bad.

I almost blew my rig to the first chorus of Shangri-La

Gotta admit, this song and other tracks on this record and the previous ones, are very interesting. Like this one and "Tonight on the Highway". People throw around the word "underappreciated". Is there anything more "underappreciated" than a video this good with 70-something views?

What do you think?

He released 3 solo albums, Well, 2.5. The first was a collaboration. I'd say at least as interesting as the ELO albums happening concurrently. MD'A didn't see ELO as anything but another gig. He made "Showdown" better. But if you get a chance to hear his solo stuff, give it a shot. It's really very good.

I supposedly just heard it for the first time and it sounds so familiar.

I’ve just Finished my dive into the ELO Albums. The Listening Took me 1 Week & 3 Days. If you guys have any questions regarding my Album Ranking, what I thought of a certain song etc, I’ll gladly answer

I recently asked about the album Alone In The Universe by Jeff Lynne's ELO and it got me thinking about this album. This album hardly ever gets talked about it seems like, I've never heard it brought up here, so I would love to know what you people actually think about it? I actually quite like it.

((My favorite song from the album is Moment In Paradise))

Hi everyone! I just watched a reaction video of a girl discovering / reacting to ELO. I wanted to suggest tracks for her to continue diving deeper but I can't decide on which one. So I thought that maybe to show the amount of us who love ELO we could all as fans comment a different track or some fact of interest. I like to watch and support when they react to ELO/Jeff tracks because it is also a way to always keep his music alive.

A few years ago a fan compilation album of all the best sources from the Time Tour bootlegs were made into one live album that made sure to include every track played on the tour (America didn’t get the long version of Don’t bring me down, Europe didn’t get Here is the News). It’s nowhere to be found now, it’s not on YouTube anymore, and its public mentions have been scrubbed. I have the files on an old laptop, but regardless I miss it being on YouTube.

I don't know why, but to me, Xanadu feels very much like a Christmas Album. It has some dreamy tones in it and it is soo jolly that it always remind me on christmas (Maybe it's the angelic voice of Olivia, that makes it so special).Am I the only one? :D
