      Just stop it with the stupid underrated/underappreciated comments on bands that are internationally recognised and famous. ELO have sold more than 50 million records worldwide, they are one of the biggest selling bands in music history. They've had 27 top 40 hits in the UK, 15 in USA, and they're inductees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. You might have just discovered them, but they've been recognised as a superbly talented and successful group since 1970, and have never been underrated.

      All being as driven as they were, there is a real possibility they would have pushed each other to bigger and better things.

    She said come along with me, to a land of make believe
    She said rock 'n' roll is king
    She loves that rock 'n' roll and she plays it all night long
    That's all she ever tells me when I call her on the telephone
    She says feel that jumpin' beat, and git up on your feet
    She says rock 'n' roll is king
    [Chorus:]
    Oh let those guitars play
    Play for me play for me
    Oh let that song ring out
    That's how it's meant to be
    It rolls like a train that's comin' on down the track
    She rolled over Beethoven and she gave Tchaikovsky back
    She loves that drivin' beat, she goes dancin' on down the street
    She said rock 'n' roll is king
    [Chorus]
    When she comes around and I'm listenin' to the radio
    She says you can't do that 'cause all I wanna do is rock 'n' roll

      Still remember being a kid at the Norfolk Scope and the eruption of The Rock N Roll Express coming out to this. The true golden age of professional wrestling and my childhood. To go back in my mesmerizes of those days, so much simpler.

    The first time I ever heard this song was in the summer of 1985 when Rock and Roll Express debuted for the NWA and won the tag team titles. From that week and every week thereafter, the fans would explode every time that song would hit. Priceless memories of simpler days!

    ALWAYS loved this song and remember like it was yesterday when it was released. Just makes you want to get up and dance your ass off! Used to be able to dance like they do in the video...but not any more. I had the pleasure of seeing ELO in concert in the summer of 2019--Jeff Lynn is a class act and ELO will live on forever.

    This song goes back so many years for me. My earliest memory with music is this song. I used to sit by our CD player and just blast this song and I never listened to anything else off the album and I still haven't for some reason. But this song quite literally defines me musically 😂 I mean I mostly listen to stuff that isn't like this but this song will always hold a special place in my heart
