I listened to ELO a lot in the old days, of course--there was no getting away from them. But I didn't really appreciate their songcraft as much until later.

Hmm. ELO's riff reminded me of the latter.

12/16/2013 8:48:48 PM

marko does not approve. Not a fan of Jeff Lynne.

I, however, do approve.

12/16/2013 10:46:59 PM

not even Wilburys-era Jeff Lynne?

12/16/2013 10:54:33 PM

ESPECIALLY not that era. In fact, it was in a Wilburys thread where I first became aware of this point.
