god bless the internet, totally forgot how much I love this band, my son introduced me to itunes and now I can re-live my younger days, and ELO certainty still make me smile :)

How many of you stumbled onto this group by accident? I did. After searching for a year for a song called "Magic", I bought the Strange Magic single back in '74-'75 thinking it was the song I was looking for. Sadly it wasn't. But after giving ELO a few spins on the old turntable, I was hooked!I'm proud to say that they became my all time favorite band and always will be.

And for that song I was still looking for, it was a one hit wonder for a band called Pilot. A great song, one of my all time favorites, that was engineered by Alan Parsons way before he started his "Project". Which, by the way, the Alan Parsons Project is my second favorite group. Funny how one mistaken purchase can have such am impact on my musical life.

And for Mike23 - Mr. Roboto was recorded by Styx, not ELO. Great song nonetheless! I think you are thinking of Mr. Blue Sky. Probably one of the most recognizable songs out there today what with being used in several movies and television commercials.

Here's to ya ELO fans everywhere! Keep enjoying their music. And also keep an eye out for Joe Walsh's new album which was produced by Jeff Lynne! Should be a good one. :-)

I love this group. My favorite songs is Mr Roboto. I think some people will rediscover them thanks to the Black Eyed Peas or otheres groups who were influence by ELO.

Look interesting! So enjoyed!

oh my good old days.. they are one of my favorite bands of the 70s. i still remember one of their unreleased songs, how to win him back, is just so good. too bad it's not released and i still wonder why they did not.

ELO is one of my favourites bands, glad to see them here

The Electric Light Orchestra, im dreaming... Songs like Mr. Blue Sky, Roll over Beethoven, Turn to Stone, Evil Woman, Don`t bring me down, Livin`Thing, Xanadu... Im dreaming on my new Matratze and listening to the Electric Light Orchestra

ELO truly amazing. The music has touched my soul. It's impossible to ignore it's appeal..

I know this may be inappropriate, but as a fan of ELo and whose music has an enormous impact on my life as a teen and as a youngster, I would like to express my condolences to the fellow ELO member of the band for the tragic passing of Mike Edwards. His cello playing touched many of his fans and he has been a part of the band as a founding member. I am sure most of his fans are shocked at this freak accident and the result, the loss has been ever so great. I will continued to listen to the recordings of Mike Edwards, playing the cello. His passing is a tremendous loss to the music world. He will be forever missed.
