      Same here. Xanadu. 7th grade with Donna Williams...end of summer 1980. Getting ready for return to school. WOW!!! We went back over the following 3 weeks and saw it 4.5 times. 1st movie alone with a girl, first this, first that, etc... first everything!!! Didn't know who to thank. ELO or Olivia Newton John. Then in 2011 I met ONJ. Told her everything. Told her how they had recently finished my screening room here at the house in Calabasas and that the hardest part was them sourcing me a clean One Sheet of Xanadu for one of six backlit PLAYING NOW frames. Long story short she gave me her publicist info and he sent back the signed my One Sheet along with a studio photo signed (and one for Donna) and a photo of her signing the One Sheet. A real doll! Rest in Peace Olivia.

    I turned 11 in 1976. My favorite gift was from my grandmother. She bought me an am/fm Panasonic clock radio(so that I could fall asleep to my music and have my very own ALARM CLOCK)(what can I say, I was 11 and it was a big deal, okay?)
    I ran to my room and plugged it in, tuned it to my favorite rock station(WVMT in Colchester Vermont)(talk radio now) and the very first thing I heard was the violin intro to Livin Thing.
    I am forever and always ELO's biggest fan.

    ROCK HALL OF FAME...It's more than time to induct Jeff Lynne as a solo artist like George, Ringo, Paul and John (They all were inducted as a band and solo artists). The great Jeff Lynne released his latest album in November of 2019 and was no. 1 on the UK chart. Jeff Lynne's ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA is still Touring! From 1972 to 1986 Jeff Lynne's Electric Light Orchestra has had more top 40 hits than any other group in the world. More than 50 years later they still play in sold-out Arenas and Stadiums. I saw them again in 2019 before the Pandemic on the North American Tour...( Best Concert of my life) All the reviews agree they are the best live Classical Rock Band still touring. Jeff Lynne is a Music Genius. ELO is in the Rock Hall of Fame. Jeff Lynne is on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame and Birmingham Walk OF Fame. Jeff Lynne’s ELO won the Best Classic Rock Band plus Lynne won the best Song Writer award ( ASCAP ) 2019 for his fantastic contribution over the years. In October of 2020, Jeff Lynne has been made an officer of The Order Of The British Empire for his extraordinary contribution to music. He created the best Super Group of all time with his best friend George Harrison "The Traveling Wilburys". They asked Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan to join this amazing band. The Legends in the Music Industry call Jeff Lynne the best overall Musician ever and a Producer Extraordinaire. Jeff Lynne has written and produced many hit songs for music legends like George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Brian Wilson, Paul McCartney, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Del Shannon, the Everly Brothers, and so many others... Long live Jeff Lynne’s ELO! Please Tour in 2022! www.thetoptens.com/greatest-music-producers-all-time/

Well promoted or well composed. Catchy or soulful. Quantity vs quality. Expedience or thoughtfulness. Who listens to a song because it's at the top of the charts? If you do then you're listening to commercial radio or that latest promoter of artless trash, satellite radio. Listen to what YOU like. Enjoy music as a pure form of art.

      Underrated? With the succes they had? One of the Beatless once said they would have evolved into something like ELO.

Maybe their music was so special not everyone understands it or knows it but they sold millions of records and are an example for many artists.

      His voice is one of the most pure, natural and raw I’ve ever heard. As a kid, I saw him in Travelling Willburys and, dumb kid, no clue who he was...lol. He’s not Dylan but he sings real. I found him by chance like 15 years later. Man, the Willbury guys we’re right...guys special. I love this. Ty.
