Or just buy ProTools, do it yourself, and tell the record companies to take a flying f*ck at a rolling doughnut. Or something to that effect...  |

Oh, I love ELO. Especially as they are underplayed and underrated, n'est ce pas? They are sunshine and niceness. If one is in the right mood of course. All those naysayers with photos of nailguns in skulls - not appreciated!!  |

Good call - when ELO is played by most stations this isn't one of the tracks. Nice.

I have a had a new appreciation for the music of ELO ever since seeing The Troubies "OthE.L.O." show back in 2007. Very entertaining! May be hard to tell, taking this small scene out of context, but seeing the whole thing — a lot of fun. |

This is the first time I've heard it in several decades. I find it's "quaint" now that I listen and heard the arrangement much more than the lyrics, rhythm, beat and mood... But still... another year and I'll listen and possibly enjoy it... Too bland for me. Like the music I hear when I have a high fever.... Otherwise, it's fine.

Casiotone keyboards didn't exist until the 1980s, but I know what you mean about that sound. Good tune - I'd like to hear "Turn To Stone" once in a while here. |

I have a guilty pleasure fondness for EOL. Of all my sister's music from the '70's, ELO and Steely Dan still do something for me.

8 -> 9, if for nothing more than nostalgic reasons. Actually, I think most of ELO stands up on its own even today.
